  1. This depends on how much money you have, and what your intentions are.

  5. Dude, I don't think you realze the difference bwt 1000 shares of stock vrs 100 ES lots. Trading 1000 shares of stock can earn someone probably 1-2K a day (generalizing here). A 100 lot ES trader can make 10's of thousands a day.

    Don't confuse 1000 shares as being more than 100 ES lots. Its not even close.

    and no, you can trade more than 100 lots easy in ES, liquidity is usually always there, except in extreme market moves or major news.

    Q) Why is it on here no matter what you post you always get some negative "trolls" trying to start a flame? This forum used to be alot better than this.

    Still thanks for most of the replies.

  7. Moving 1000 ES is not a problem at the right volume. Don't try it overnight, though.

  10. 1000 ES is ok? Wow first time I have heard this.

    So day trading ES with many millions is fine? Everyone else told me 100- 150 contracts was just about doable.

    What about Tnotes....how liquid are they?
