Your average intraday profit per contract in ES?

Quote from Girlpower:

There is an anomally that skews the poll results.

Having a 4-6 band and a 5-10 band, will result in a lot of people who make avarage 5 point or 5.5 points per day, voling in the 5-10 band instead of the 4-6 band, which is probably why there are not many voltes in that band.

Perhaps the last band should be 6+ instead of 5-10 and that would change the result a little. (or even use the fractions to clearly sepparate it out i.e. 0 - 2, 2 1/4 - 4, 4 1/4 - 6, 6 1/4+)

You're right. The poller made an obvious mistake.
As you must see, polling is an advanced discipline that requires specific skills.
It can be heavily misleading...

Can't it, Mr Bush? :eek:

But HEY - Let's face it : Isn't it awesome to know that 34% of ES traders make 5-10pts per day?

:D

This should be reinforced by this independent statistic I grabbed somewhere:

Of all beginning private (non-professional / institutional) ES Traders;

6% lose all initial capital within 1 day of trading.
16% within the first week
36% within 2 weeks
58% within 3 weeks.
66% within the first month of trading.
81% within the first 3 months.
92% within the first 6 months.
96% within the first 12 months.
99.4%-99.7% fail in their endeavour over time.

Surprisingly enough, the other 0.3% make 5-10pts per day, because they're so good.
I don't actually make this much, although I'm excellent. :p
I'm happy to make a quarter of that (on average!).

Maybe I haven't figured it and I'm amongst those 99.7% as well?

Never thought about it. Hey you 5-10pt (100-200pt / month). guys, could you give us a few hints on how to annualize 1,000% + per annum like you do ?

Just a hint will do. :D

Don't even think about it!

Going for those kind of profits is a great way to go broke! :eek:
Might as well go to Vegas and have some fun...

Compliments,

I guess if you are going for that then you would go broke, but when it happens over time as a consequence of good management and discipline? hmmmmm.....
