Quick question for ES/MES traders willing to share experience

Hi everyone—
I’m working on a small research project focused on how newer traders learn to understand intraday ES/MES market behavior.

I’m not selling anything and not promoting a product—just trying to learn from real trader experiences.

If you trade ES or MES and would be open to a 10–15 minute conversation, I’d appreciate hearing from you.
You can reply here, and I can follow up with next steps if you’re interested.

Thanks for considering, and I appreciate the knowledge shared in this community.

You probably can just post your questions and then aggregate the answers from people. Might find more participants on Reddit too.

Thanks! Is there a Reddit you recommend? New to all this. Found one - r/FuturesTrading

The vast majority of ES and MES future traders that you specifically are going to interact with, are not profitable, and though you’ll take that research and it will go out in papers and so forth that retailers are not profitable. The majority of the people that will interact with your research. Project will not be profitable. Most profitable traders, who have dedicated the immense Screen Time to understand the nuances and the behavior of the market as a whole, and there I say it, the logic of the market, are not public, have no interest, no matter the incentive in communicating for a research project. So understand that you are going to be experiencing extreme selection, bias, and the population that will interact with your research even on Reddit are not profitable at all.

Just not ES/MES… in general vast majority are not profitable. That’s if you care if they are profitable or not.
