Can't daytrade full-time only trading 1 ES, YM or NQ contact

Would the Wise One, who can make a living trading 1 car, continue to trade just 1 car? Or is it too Unwise?

Like others have written, it depends on your lifestyle and what you're trying to accomplish. Obviously, trading 1 contract does not allow you to scale out of positions, but it is probably the best way to trade when you begin trading the ES.

If one can only trade one contract, must be correct many times over to not lose capitol.

Must you trade more than one contract to be profitable? No. Must be correct more so than wrong while preserving capitol and managing risk/reward.

Trading one contract will make it take longer to burn your account out. If you want to go to zero faster, using more contracts will help.

surely it depends how good you are?
A good trader would be able to make about $350 per day trading one ES contract, no?
That amount of money would certainly do me!!
