    Yes. There are quite a few of us. Mostly retail-prop guys that learned to be creative. The Trader P&L thread is a good place to start.

    Daytrading, <4 hour hold times, but will carry overnights, as well.

    Here's my portfolio for about four years. About 180K/yr average.

  5. 1) 100K is not a good question. How much is your trading capital? What %return is far more useful

    Someone starting with 1.5 million from Mommy's nest egg is a lot different from someone turning 100% on 100K

    2) I would dismiss up to 80% of the eventual posters to this thread, as there are a huge number of duffers on this site who get off on exaggeration of both skill and actual performance.

    3) How long? Someone who tripped over a couple of outsized returns are a lot less impressive than someone who has been doing it steadily for 8 years.

  7. Says the guy who's posting about needing to raise capital or find a prop to test his strategy...

    Nice backtest report btw, funny how it keeps changing every time you post it. :p Not enough suckers on Collective2?

    Indeed!

  8. I trade stocks & options but I'm sure there are many 100k/yr stock traders (many may not post to ET tho).

    So what?

    Of course it changes, idiot - note the dates and additional strategies. BTW, there is capital behind these strategies currently.
    Can you match the performance???
