Anyone have experience consistently scalping for one-to-two points on the es with anything more than, say, five contracts?

Is it possible to do this with larger size, say contracts, during regular market hours.

Or does slippage become a significant factor? If you can do it with contracts, what are the practical size limits for such scalpers in "normal" market conditions during regular market hours? And, in case anyone's wondering, no I have no plans in this direction.

It's pure idle curiosity Can you make money with 1 contract? If you are consistently profitable just start adding contracts until the market tells you there is a problem. I started scalping with the E-mini ES last month just 1 contract at a time until I got my "system" down and then moved to 5 contracts and now I am doing 10 contracts per trade.

I basically look for 1 point a day based on some indicators and when I get it I pretty much back off unless I see another perfect set-up. I am still fine-tuning my exits and entries but that is the easiest part.

It is the daily discipline that I am trying to hone so I can consistently do this. So I believe it can be done consistently but it aint easy.

I have about 3 indicators I use, including the TICK and 1 and 5 minute charts so it requires you to glue your eyes to the screen! Here's a question for the e-mini traders - what leads the e-mini? Are bonds any good in this regard?
