How much do you aspire to make per year trading

[Overnight]

...(current size is 3-6 contracts depending on volatility). ES could probably handle it but then I'd be afraid I'd be noticed. Maybe in a year or so I will try that.

What are you talking about? Noticed by whom?!?

ES had over 2 million contracts traded today. What is there to notice about someone trading a few dozen, hundred, or even thousand contracts?

Nobody can tell who is making trades. Not even the CME, because it takes them years to identify rule violators! Why are people so paranoid about this?

Are you doing something dodgy?

Otherwise nobody will have a problem with you making $40K a day trading 60 lots in the ES. Just make sure to pay the correct amount of tax

Unless you have a funky Asian name or a shady Asian shell company, you'll prolly be fine, because that's usually who they go after.

Here's one from 2 weeks ago or so.

It is just very difficult to make $10M, full stop.

nooby_mcnoob knows how to do it trading 30 to 60 ES lots per trade.

Now we just have to figure out a way to get him to spill the beans

Long term average is around $4K. I never considered scaling to 10x the size (current size is 3-6 contracts depending on volatility). ES could probably handle it but then I'd be afraid I'd be noticed. Maybe in a year or so I will try that.

So that would be about 15-20 points per contract, which would be amazing relative to the daily range. Probably better to discuss what % of daily range one can steal from the market with consistency.

I aim for around 20% of the range, and I have a target of $5K if I am successful. I have a script which sizes/targets/stops automatically.
