but, I'm making like 500 trades a day as well. I burn out every week and take a week or month off lol.
you can make about that much on 50 contracts for the es, I know because i trade demo . Normaly i just trade 2 to 3, to keep it real. I might open an account with OEC futures, but velocity futures is nice too....im thinking 35000 should be enough? if i cant make 500 a day off that, then i suck, lol, and according to my paper results, 500 is reasonable at best: feb 9th --> 735 feb 10th --> 1475 feb 11th --> 1067 feb 12th --> 3000 I also trade EURO fx futs, and crude oil, but ES would be the primary contract, oil is just f---in insane.
peopl who make a good living trading futures don't trade for a living for long. they move onto more profitable adventures.
You can click on the system, and frankly, there's only a few people on this thread that have a badge to show. Seriously, you wouldn't listen to someone if they didn't have proof, which is why most of these threads are bullshit, especially the ones about profits in particular.
