Now ? which one would you say is really extremely easy to get? that any idiot in trading could get after a bit of experience ? This is yearly target.
I would say for "any idiot" even breaking even after commissions would be a success and not easy in the first years. Maybe it's just me being dumber than idiots of course.
euhhh sorry. I mean if the person does not make mistakes after mistake, the number where you'd say yes making 0.1? 1? 10? 100 ? 1000? 10k? 100k? 1m? 10m? 100m? really is super easy to get. This is just an exercise.
Even without mistakes, there's a skill to acquire first... so your question is actually very difficult to answer and is very individual. Every successful trader would probably answer it differently and for struggling traders breaking even after commissions is already great result IMO.
With all due respects, dbphoenix, what I have learned in trading is to keep an open mind. Now on top of deaf, you can add ....
From my current point of view I'd say 10 ticks a year in any futures contract I trade is probably an easy target.
funny to help a psychologist with his trading. never mind. 10 ticks are easiest to get for which instrument? The instrument where it is the most easy.
