I think you are totally right. Looking back, it is almost embarrassing to think I even started this thread with the idea I might be ready for ES. I have much to learn! Holding tight to my capital and...

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation! For now I'm sticking with one micro contract but I will practice on my workdays two lot trades on sim so I can get an idea of it better. Good luck!

Interesting idea. I'll look into it! Even though I use Infinity Futures, I still do pretty much all of my analysis on TOS. I just never funded my account....yet.
