Yes — it’s possible, but it’s not as simple as the math makes it look.
Your calculation is correct mathematically:
$5 × 31 days = $155
$10 × 31 days = $310
But in futures scalping, the real question is not math — it’s consistency and risk.
Why It’s Possible ✅
If you:
Trade with strict risk management
Use low leverage (or controlled leverage)
Have a proven scalping strategy
Avoid overtrading
Then making $5–$10 per day is absolutely realistic.
Many disciplined traders aim for 1–2% daily, not huge moon shots.
Why It’s Difficult ⚠️
Futures trading (like on or ) involves:
Leverage risk
Liquidation risk
Emotional trading
Fees & funding rates
Losing streaks
You will NOT win every day.
Some days:
Market is choppy
You hit stop loss
News causes volatility
One bad over-leveraged trade can wipe out 10–20 days of $5 gains.
The Real Question 🔎
It depends on your capital.
Example:
If you have $1,000
You aim for $5 per day
That’s 0.5% daily
Very reasonable.
But if you have:
$100 account
Trying to make $10 daily
That’s 10% daily
That’s extremely risky long-term.
What Most Beginners Do Wrong 🚨
They try to:
Double account quickly
Use 20x–50x leverage
Revenge trade
Ignore stop loss
And then one liquidation = account gone.
The Smart Way 💡
Instead of asking: “Can I make $5 every day?”
Ask: “How much can I risk per trade?”
Professional rule:
Risk 1–2% per trade
Stop trading after daily target OR daily loss limit
Final Honest Answer
Yes, it’s possible.
But: Consistency > Big Profits
Risk Management > Daily Target
Survival > Fast Money
