Hello demoncore, Exactly. I agree. It's no point in posting live trades. Best to post an equity curve of 4 years of trading for motivation and energy boost for up and coming ES future traders to keep working.
I don't disagree. If you are scalping you don't have time to post. I don't know how you prove that you do what you claim to do. Trust but verify and if you can't verify then don't trust.
There are clearly people here that have either made a living from trading or been otherwise successful in the markets over a reasonably long period of time. These people have neither need nor obligation to post or verify their account data. Anyone with considerable experience in the markets will easily recognize when unlikely or even impossible returns from trading are being claimed.

Day trading during one of the greatest Bull markets in history is just dumb. That ES thread should have been closed for a few Years post Covid, Millions of Warthogs and Lions.
I wonder how many Day Traders were closing out positions overnight post Covid. Missing out on all those morning Gap Ups during one of the greatest Bull Markets in history.
Day trading isn't mainly about catching huge moves, it is about using high leverage on a smaller number of points. I can buy 100 NQ in my trading account with not much money down (although I haven't put on 100 NQ in a very long time, have to go back to when it had a much lower index value like below 4000 points). If intra day leverage was not available it makes less sense to day trade. Plus all day traders should have retirement accounts that are long equities. I do.
