Since everybody is sharing their numbers, I will do the same. $544, but it was done only with 1 contract and 3 Round Trips. After much deliberation and a couple of nightmarish nights in front of ES AH, I have decided to be more conservative with my capital. After being down $10,000 twice in the last 10 days and being lucky to get out of those crazy positions, I scaled down my positions and changed my entry/exit strategy. Today was the first day of my modified plan and it worked OK. Not a super big gain, but I'd rather make this than look in my wife's eyes and tell her that I just blew 10 grand.
I will be more carefully and hopefully calmer in the days to come.
Happy Trading to all.

$544 for one contract is almost 11 points. That is extraordinary for a beginner, and, arguably, for anyone. Good for you.
If you can do half that, or even a quarter of that, on average, day after day, you will be among the elite.
