With the following information it is theoretically possible: trading ES margin $500 accountsize $500 max position 500 contracts (not possible with margin of $500 per Emini) compounding commission RT $5 net 1 tick profit per trade 800 trades This will get you to $1,538,930. With 250 contracts limit you get $857,068. With 100 contracts limit you get $389,240. That's the problem to overcome. Many things are possible in theory but not in reality.
