How difficult is it to make $150 a day?

Great premarket trade!

Okay, so I have been learning how to trade for about 3 months now. I have done tons of reading on several forums, lot's of article reading, guides and practiced a lot in simulators. I don't plan to trade just yet with real money as I still believe I got a lot of learning to do.

But please tell me, if I was to trade from Monday to Friday 1 contract on the emini s&p 500 from open to close can I make $150 profits after losses and commissions per day every week and how difficult would this be on the scale of:

very easy
easy
medium
hard
very hard

Please choose one of the above?

Many thanks

Depends on your strat.
Trading 2 contracts, this shouldn't be too difficult - you only need 6 ticks a day.
 
Yes, it is hard to earn money nowadays, the rich become richer and richer.

While the poor become poorer and poorer.

I hope we all will make a lot of money in the future.

Good luck for everyone here.
 
One such example from today. 2 contracts, 8 ticks. Job done.
Keeping it is probably the trick you are referring to.

Hello,
It depends if you have an strategy and the number of contracts you are trading.
If you just have a blank graphic and just 1 contract...really dificult...some days you will achieve the objective but 99% of days no.
If you have an strategy and tou trade with 10 contracts it is really easy.
