    Compare my ES performance to a futures benchmark or cash?

    imo benchmarks are only usefull to compare investments, you are trading, which is something totaly different. The best thing to do is watch your equity curve and pay attention to drawdowns and make your own conclusions from that if you are doing alright. If you really want to compare you might...
