How much do you aspire to make per year trading

Anyone here can quickly post a spread sheet with made up numbers.

You could at least spend some time faking a brokerage PnL screen shot for us.

Shame to not see entry and exit though. These are some mighty fast scalps! I'm trying to learn over here how to enter more precisely.

Everything I've set up (the spreadsheet, etc) is to keep me from feeling bad while trading during the day. I don't know why but it works for me. Probably something to do with negative self talk (notice how a couple of people are constantly negative on here...) I need to avoid it because I grew up with a lot of it.

Oh I fully understand about how you have to set it up exactly for how you need it, but once again, I find it would be really useful to see the entry times as well to get a sense of how you're entering. With many of your trades lasting barely a minute, a perfect entry is critical. Since you're trading 4-6 contracts, these wins are probably only 2-3 points even, so you need precise entries.

Why do you think it's so important?
