I was just at my desk, reading my free copy of SFO anf Futures trader magazines and I reminded myself we are the Elite here in ET...Those magazines are noise...along with CNBC...
Yes EliteTrader has 57,151 members and they're all "elite". LOL. I would say over 20,000 of those members already blew out their accounts, and another 35,000 are aliases. That leaves around 2,000 "Elite Traders". To be generous, I'll say about one third of them are profitable, and only a hundred or so make good money.
