Hi,
I'm new to the site. From my trading & observations, an excellent living could be had scalping the ES for 2.00 points a day. Actually if you took only one trade a day using a 5-lot for .75 pts daily yields approx. 50k a year. Increase size for more...You must however, have a viable method/system that's robust enough to give out enough signals to counter the inevitable losses that come along. If consistency is desired, in my humble opinion, this is the way to go. You could literally never have a losing day...Way more secure than working at a job!
Best Regards
