Returns achievable for Futures trading

[pavilion103]

After holidays and xmas new year there's about 240 worthwhile trading days per year, so you will need to average around $1000+ per day to reach your goal. Have a look at your last 3 months results and your expectancy will tell you how many contracts you need to trade, or how much improvement is needed to get an acceptable result from 4 contracts.

Good call.

The other idea is to increase opportunity by trading other markets.

Something I will look at in time.
