Traits of Elite Traders: What Sets Them Apart?

rading the ES futures market is the most EASIEST task I ever done in my natural life. I am not sure why other traders struggle in their trading, maybe they need help.

It is VERY , actually beyond easy to me to day trade the ES futures market.

There is nothing to be careful of. Why should I be careful in a task that is very easy for me to do? How can I fall from something that is very easy? Trading to me is like walking a dog, very easy and relaxing to me

You're an idiot.

Or perhaps an idiot savant!

100 contracts on the ES or bust!

Congrats to you, sir. You make money just keeping a simple approach. I like that.

But dont you ever feel the need to want to challenge yourself and maximize your opportunuties? Have you done the analysis on how much you could've made using the same approach to RTY last week?

Good Morning Sergio123,

Thank you for the response.

I am trying to expand to Crude Oil Market and take a lot of money from there just like I do in ES Futures Market.

I am not sure I will have enough time in the day to take a lot of money from RTY market.
 
You dont have time to "take alot money" from other markets??

It's not like you read or study ,so why not devote a couple more hours a day making easy money??

Absolutely, market dynamics can be quite dynamic, and success during specific time frames often depends on various factors.

Good post.

Just to clarify,the market dynamics can be quite dynamic? Or did you mean can't be quite dynamic?Sorry for noob question.

Also,is it really true that success depends on various factors?

SML, you are quite the mystery man, I have read your posts for a long time and until recently you even posted that no one should listen to what you have to say because you are a losing trader. If you really believe that trading is now so easy that you take money from the market every day then you are setting yourself up for a gargantuan fall.

Successful day-trading is probably the most difficult thing on this planet to achieve. Many on ET are good profitable traders but most admit it is not from "Day-Trading". Every day is different, the fake breakouts, sudden reversals only to be reversed again, the false counter-trend, going against the best, most experienced, well funded traders in the world in a zero sum game is anything but easy.

I like you SML, you have a record of posting honestly so I just advise you now to be careful.

I agree with you, both on day trading and on SML.

Day trading is hard, my analogy is, every trade is like hunting an illusive and cunning prey.

After more than 6 months of combined paper trade and live, I still don't know why I am profitable, so I went back to paper trade at the end of 2023. The more I dig, the more I am convinced I really don't have an "edge". It is either luck or some sort of Martingale. I need to get to the bottom or I won't go back to live trades because if I don't understand it, it is just gambling.
