I have been trading for over 15 years in futures now and there is no way to make money in the ES with just a 2-3 tick target. Comission and Slippage will take you out.
I beg to differ as I trade with a small group of traders everyday doing exactly what you profess to be impossible - scalping the ES for 2 ticks per trade.

The key is knowing when to walk away for the day. Make your income and go home...
