To those that are profitable at daytrading. Please post the average annual percentage returns on your trading stake. Average monthly returns on trading stake.

To those who are profitable swing or position trading, please post your average annual and monthly returns on your trading stake.

Only those consistently profitable should post.

If you lie, you are lying not only to the group but more importantly to yourself and you are useless. You know who you are so stay out.

This will quash this useless debate.

Bro, I've been doing this since 1998, thanks for the offer but you wouldn't be able to pay me enough!

PS It's a wonder why you are still here....haven't you moved on?

What do day trade stocks or futures?

I've been a professional stock day trader for a little over 4 years now. There's definitely a long learning curve involved, but it's far from impossible.

The best advice I can give to those starting out is to find a mentor. Too many traders make things too complicated and are looking for the holy grail. A successful trader can help you avoid the common beginner's mistakes and shorten your learning curve tremendously.

Day trading like other trading styles do work for some people. But I have found it pays low income per hour. Lots of wasted hours in screen time, stress, high blood pressure and low pay per effective time invested. There are better trading styles that gives more freedom and higher or same returns.

Could not said better myself. However I do find intraday trading useful to erase urge to put on a real trade. Taking on couple of minor trades cures me and my mind back in patience mode to wait for real thing
