Traders,

I have been paper trading the mini S&P for a few months now.  I like
paper trading the mini because I can I just buy at the ask and sell at
the bid, and I wait about 5 to 10 seconds for my order to be executed.
In other words, it is easier to estimate entry and exit points with the
mini than it is with the big contract.

Enclosed is an excel spreadsheet of my results.  As you can see, I was
off to a great start, but then I started basically going sideways after
that.

Is this the type of performance I can expect from trading futures?  Can
some of you more seasoned traders tell me if this is a typical equity
curve for trading?

Thanks
Troy
