success rate trading S&p's

The one I am familiar with has made money everyday for the past 32 trading days.

A very long streak indeed, it certainly has a nice smooth equity curve, but I am not sure it makes great profits. Very often these things are mutually exclusive.
 
It makes about 4k a day net. The only reason it lost money ever was netwrok issues. It's streak before that losing day was 40 days. I'm not kidding.
 
Number of winning days relative to losing days is unimportant on its own... you gotta factor in size of winning days relative to losing days too...

Instead of talking win-loss %, we should be talking expectancy. Because in this game, it's the money that matters.
:cool:

That's why I trade ES and NQ, knowing that once I get the method down ... the sky is the limit.

The oher good thing about these 2 is the almost unlimited liquidity. It doesn't do you any good to master trading in something that is too illiquid to make huge trades in if you get really good at it. Maybe you can make a profit almost every time trading tiny amounts, but that's useless if you can't plow all those profits back into trading larger and larger amounts of the same instrument.

There's lots of stuff to trade, that's for sure, but liquidity is crucial if you ever have plans of trading huge amounts of $$ in whatever you are trading.
