Why is the Futures market supposedly more difficult?

Quote from mtzianos:

Let me see if I got it right, you do:

avg 2pt/day in ES
avg 3pt/day in 6E

In Euro it's certainly doable, as it averages 90+ points per day.

But avg 2pt/day in ES? hmmm :)

Nevertheless, feel free to post some daily P/Ls in
Trader P/L thread. Which by the way has had virtually no posts by futures traders.



2 pts a day in ES is sometimes easy. Sometimes not so easy. I do that but changed it slightly, instead of having to get 2 pts a day per contract, I base it on 10 pts a week.

You get some days where the risk is too great to get an easy 2, maybe I get one, then the next day I get 4,5,6, etc.

I am sure there are people out there that can get at least 2 net points a day on any day. But the way I trade I only like to take the easy stuff.
