<prompt> Human: Ok so Ive come into about 20,000, and have decided to take 10,000 and get into day-trading futures. After just 2 weeks of research, these are the conclusions Ive come to.The E-Mini is trading on great margin, requiring about 5-20 of notional value to buy 1 contract. A goal of just 1-2 points 4-8 ticks per day could lead to a daily income of over 100. Move up to more contracts and you can make 1000 per day. The amount of trades per day is unlimited though youll be paying commission and the leverage is a great deal.Am I missing something here? Today was my first day trading E-Mini SP 500 ES with Ameritrades SinkorSwim using PAPER MONEY and I made 325 with one contract. I just kept buying and selling one contract. 1 tick here, 3 ticks there. Oh no it went down 5 ticks, okay well its only 10 AM, its currently 12:00 PM CST and Im at the 325 and done for the day. Yes commission adds up but aside from that, am i missing something?Is it really this easy to make a living wage day trading the E-Mini SP futures?  <response>: Lets put it this way. If it was easy, and a sure thing, thousands of other people would do it as well and the feasibility of it would stop. I would advise you to do more research
