ES you can trade much more than 100.

OK but I was told by a ES trader the maximum size he can trade with good liquidity is 100 contracts? Is this right?
I guess there has to be balance where your size starts affecting your % returns. You have to find where this is.
Are there any day trading hedge funds? What size do they trade and what markets?

why does it even matter to you? you aren't even close to trading that much...is it just general curiousity?
Dude, I don't think you realze the difference bwt 1000 shares of stock vrs 100 ES lots. Trading 1000 shares of stock can earn someone probably 1-2K a day (generalizing here). A 100 lot ES trader can make 10's of thousands a day.
Don't confuse 1000 shares as being more than 100 ES lots. Its not even close.
and no, you can trade more than 100 lots easy in ES, liquidity is usually always there, except in extreme market moves or major news.

Q) Why is it on here no matter what you post you always get some negative "trolls" trying to start a flame? This forum used to be alot better than this.
Still thanks for most of the replies.

Moving 1000 ES is not a problem at the right volume. Don't try it overnight, though.
