Your daily targets on the ES?

I do have targets for my systems, but I also have stop-losses. I think the latter are more important. My targets are: 6 (first) 8 or 9 (second), and whatever I get with an MOC unless the stop-loss of 6 pts is triggered first.

I am happy with just green.. but wondering what are your daily targets on an average day.


My targets are not static. My target will increase with every bar (in an up move) because I am trading Gann squares. However, on the 5 minute time frame, the target is usually about 8 points.
 
The only target I have to trade according to my plan... I don't much care if that produces a red day or a green day, cos in the long-run I am green...
 
the actual target in points differs a lot for various trading styles. If one scalps like 20 contracts each time he might be pleased with 2 points. Nevertheless a trend trader trading smaller size will take trades on longer timeframes and will probably hope for anything >8
 
i trade 5 contracts and am very very happy when i can get +2 POINTS on a trade but will quite often exit with only 1.5 points
