Why is the Futures market supposedly more difficult?

Quote from electron:

I always wondered if there is limit to how much BS one can put in a single post. After reading some posts in this thread, I believe now that such a limit does not exist.

BTW, I have already made 100 ES pts today. I accomplished that by splitting the ticks and slaloming between fractions of these ticks. Yes, it took me some time to learn it. Some 10 minutes, I guess. Splitting ticks is nor that difficult, but you must have Merlin and Smurfs on your team. Actually, Smurfs only look over my shoulder here, but Merlin was really instrumental. He says that splitting ticks is only the beginner level. Once you apply frog tails (do frogs really have tails, or did he mean 'fractals'!?) you can go over 1000 ES pt a day. Gee, don't know what to think about it, but Smurfs claim that they know one guy who does just that...

Well, you want the log? Sorry guys, I could give you a few good excuses why I will not post it here, but since posting these excuses would take me longer than posting the log, I decided against it too.

You either believe me or you are morons. Obviously, you are morons, so why bother with you anyway, and why post the damn log either. You see, I proved that posting the log here made no sense from the very beginning...

Loved it.

Grob109 has been getting to you I see! Look at it this way - it's worth having him around just for the entertainment value! "Talking in tongue" is not meant for mere mortals to understand anyway. To accomplish that level of understanding you have to be a TRUE BELIEVER!

The guy is a riot. Honestly, he hasn't got the faintest idea what he's banging on about, even with himself. Nobody actually thinks the guy is a trader. Some people get mad with him for invading every thread with his jibberish. But honestly, I love the guy. Where else can you witness such utter bollocks being espoused and then have true believers show up and thank him for serving them their daily fix???!!!!

Actually, it really wouldn't surpise me if his supposed followers were himself. I think he's an old guy who is a bit lonely that's all, and that's why he posts the way he does. Prattling on to nobody but himself. Kind of funny and sad at the same time.

Are you familiar with Spydertraders journal? Heres a quote from the initial post:

"I have traded The Jack Hershey Equities Method for little over a year – full time for the past 2 months. I have found my results to be quite extraordinary – enabling me to quit my full time job and trade these methods as my only source of income."

He has been showing how he does it for a year now in plain english.

Making over 100 trades per day in the ES market is not an unusual case. The attached report shows an automated system routinely making about 100 trades per day.

Why showing a 1 trade in the weekend days?

Attached is a gif animation showing the system running for about 10 minutes.

Are these real trades or paper trades?

Are the net profits after commissions? I am interested in hearing more about your system. You can PM if you like.

He ain't being serious... most of the successful ES traders that I know don't average more than 1 point a day per contract (over the long run)... a long-run average of 0.5pt per contract per day (after all costs) is highly respectable and is a great living if you do size...

If you don't do size, discretionary equities trading is probably the better route, until you are capable of doing size, since my belief is that capital growth to enable size trading is easier with equities, but income generation (with size) is more consistent with semi-discretionary/systemized futures trading... some may disagree, but this is my personal experience...
