How much can I make trading futures?



Question: I am wondering about doing this full time as a business, and wonder approximately how much on average, I could make every day trading with a 10,000 account?

Isn't that the million dollar question? How much can a make per day/per week/per month/per year?

I come at this from a different direction and it is perhaps it will be new for you. I believe in a concept called leverage for example.

If I make like I did today in the ES, $150 on my first contract, and $350 on my 2nd contract, then this gave me a $500 gain before commission costs, which by the way are insignificant.

As you build your account then you will be increasing your leverage allowing you to trade more contracts per signal that you come across.

For example this same trade with 10 contracts earned $2,500 today. So the round about answer to your question is the following your first goal is to build your account balance up to a point where one trade you could make the weekly goal you are looking for.

This is an example of using a concept called leverage and delta.

I believe the sooner you get away from how much I can make, and come in with the idea that I will build my account up to the point where every trade I take has the potential to make my "weekly goal." Then you know you have arrived.

eMini Bull Bear Basic Free Method Chart

eMini Bull Bear Basic Free Trading Method

On the previous video, I alluded to a "free" method or a stripped down version of the eMini Bull Bear Method called for lack of a better term the eMini Bull Bear Basic Free Method.

This is a method that has the small account trader in mind as I went about and put it together. On average, to day trade in the ES a person needs at least $500.00 USD in there trading account. Although, I recommend a starting account balance of at least $5,000.00 USD.

At the heart of this method, "free" one is to allow the individual trader/investor a valid way to earn while they learn to trade the eMini S&P. This free method is a strategy that includes only trading one contract per trade.

In other words, this basic strategy does not include the "kitchen sink" like trading multiple contracts, and trading account leverage. But it is a valid method to attack the eMini S&P profitably allowing the individual trader/investor to build their own account and more importantly gain confidence in trading the futures market.

If you want further details on this basic method, send an email to support@knightcapitalmanagement.com and I would be happy to get back in touch with you with details as I continue to put this method together.

Look for more video content on either my blog or youtube, and eventually on my main website home at www.KnightCapitalManagement.com

Tuesday Day Trading: 4th Time is the Charm ...

Click on chart for a larger image of the Crude Oil (CL) trade.

Here is an example of attempting a trade 3 times, and not winning. The 4th time the market rolled over allowing for a very nice gain on the trading day.

By the way, this is taking the assumption that you are trading multiple contracts here. If you were trading one contract you would have sustained a loss on the trading day, albeit a small one, but still a loss on the trading day.

Secret to Success in Battle and Trading


"Always mystify, mislead, and surprise the enemy, if possible; and when you strike and overcome him, never let up in the pursuit so long as your men have strength to follow; for an army routed, if hotly pursued, becomes panic-stricken, and can then be destroyed by half their number. The other rule is, never fight against heavy odds, if by any possible maneuvering you can hurl your own force on only a part, and that part the weakest part, of your enemy and crush it. Such tactics will win every time, and a small army may thus destroy a large one in detail and repeated victory will make it invincible."

-- T.J. Jackson

Thursday Day Trading: Crude Oil so close, but NO Cigar

Click on chart for a larger image of the Crude Oil trade considered today.

Here is a perfect example of having an awesome signal, and no followthru at time of the trade. This trade went on later in the day to touch it's trendline, bounce off then go on to target and upper target respectively.

Sometimes, you just can't get a break as a trader seems like, but discipline, patience, and self-control will keep you in the game. Don't get discouraged when in your trading week, that you finish the week in the LOSS column.

This is bound to happen in your trading career. Nothing and I mean nothing goes straight up without coming back down ... following sound money management techniques then the valley will not bring you all the way back down before you start your next ascension!

Wednesday Day Trading: It's OK to get out at Breakeven!

Click on chart for a larger image of the eMini S&P (ES) market.

Some days as a trader simply don't work out, and your best trade of the day will be a BREAKEVEN trade. This is the nature of the business that we are in. Although, you can continue to take the best possible trade setups, they simply will not work out in a given trading day.

Today is a perfect example of trading your plan, and the market simply not having any followthru. Should it have went and made you money today?

That really is the wrong attitude to bring to a trading day. What you are trying to accomplish on each and every trading day is to be the best trader that you can be. By remaining DISCISPLINED, PATIENT, and under SELF-Control at all times.

These days do happen when the best trade simply is the breakeven trade, and your remaining trades turn out not to be winners. The key is to stick to your trading plan, work your way through your losing streak. Decrease in account size, if you plan calls for you to do that, and continue to plug away.

If you happen to have a castatropic day that you lose your discipline, etc. Then the best course of action in this case is self preservation. If you blow your trading account out in one trading day, then you will not be ready for the trading day where everything goes right, and makes this day a distant memory.

In summary, my advice is to always stick to your trading plan. Remember the trading rule. Plan Your Trade, and Trade Your Plan in that order. If you have your trading plan down, then the rest will follow. Sure you will have "losing" trading days, but if you remain disciplined during the drawdown period, then this will make you a stronger trader in the days, months, and years ahead.

It has been said that trading is a MARATHON and not a SPRINT. So don't trade one day like a sprint when you should continue to keep your longer term goals in mind. Yes, you will have setbacks, and drawdowns. Get use to it!! Or find another business to go into ... trading has been said to be a zero sum game ...

What makes the difference as traders is the key word DISCIPLINE! Discipline in following your trading plan, and continuing to perservere. Don't give up, and DON'T allow ONE DAY to blow your trading account!

As Annie says, "the sun will come out tomorrow."

Tarzan and Jane Joke



When Jane initially met Tarzan in the jungle, she was attracted to him, and during her questions about his life , she asked him how he had sex?

"Tarzan not know sex." he replied. Jane explained to him what sex was.

Tarzan said "Oh,....Tarzan use knot hole in trunk of tree."

Horrified Jane said, "Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly."


She took off her clothing and lay down on the ground.. "Here" she said, pointing to her privates, "you must put it in here."

Tarzan removed his loin cloth, showing Jane his considerable manhood, stepped closer to her and kicked her in the crotch !

Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity.


Eventually she managed to gasp for air and screamed "What did you do that for?"

Tarzan replied, "Check for squirrel."

Another Good Trade in Crude Oil

Click on chart for a larger image of the Crude Oil (CL) market trade.

Sometimes, BIAS gets in the way, and then the nice TRENDING trades come along, that you kick yourself in the BU Double T about not taking full advantage of what the market is giving you on a trading day.

Occasionally, even experienced seasoned traders fall into the BIAS trap ... and today it happened to me. Although, we were able to be more than positive on the week. We left some profits that could have been ours on the table in our trading.

Oh yes, in hindsight, you are always correct. But in the heat of the battle, and your blood and adrenlin is running, it can be difficult to get your head around what exactly is going on.

This is where your skill set of Discipline, Patience, and Self-Control will WIN the day for you more times than not, in your day trading routine. In any case, what a couple of awesome trades in Gold and Crude Oil today.

eMini S&P Daily Trade Update (Reentry)

One week early, but the reentry trade on the 5 minute or the 15 minute time frame after the FOMC announcement gave an excellent opportunity to put this trade in the ES back on this week.

2/3rds of the contracts are now off at 28 points a piece or an exit at 1045.5 for $1,400.00 on every contract.

The last third is set to be removed currently on the retest at 1001.50 going for the 1000 mark in the eMini S&P. This can be reached quickly so keep your eyes on this trade. Our stop on the last contract is one point below our entry of 1073.5 or at 1072.5.
