How many ES points/contract do you make on a daily basis?

[kevinx]

I am planning to start trading ES and would like to find out from those of you who trade ES for a living that, on average, how many points/contract can you make everyday? What many contracts do you trade?

Information from NQ traders are also welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Seems he has crawled back under the proverbial rock...

a better question is,

How many points do I need a day to cover my costs, time?

Quote from Phantom Trader:

I know an acupuncturist who makes, on average, more than 20 points a day. He says the key to covering his costs is having enough patience. He says nobody wants to get stuck in a difficult spot, but he doesn't mind sticking it to others.

Thank you...that was one hell of a funny post.
