How much do day traders make

Discussion in 'Trading' started by newdog, Jan 27, 2017.


  1. fair enough man, u and i both go back on forth on opinions but its very evident and is a fact with small traders that their focus is always how much money they make rather than percentage which in itself i believe why many fail( including my past self), when they turn an account thats 5k or 10k to double they are not happy,, why? cuz its not enough to live off of annually speaking yet whats not realized is that was 100 percent then they step up risk even more to MAKE MORE dollars and blow away what was good,, meanwhile a person who comes up and says i made 500k in trading but his account is 10m is looked upon highly yet that guy did worse than buy and hold

    trading results is measured in percentages and thats a fact,,, u can make allll the money in the world u want but if its aint near top in percentage basis no one cares, at least now wall st

  4. seems like u know bullshit and a lot of its smell, make sure u get the double thick toilet paper,,,

    @vanzandt perhaps there might not have been a slam but i didnt see it that way, you and @algofy and @Overnight always gang up together, its evident in most of ur posts, u should approach things more neutrally

    one might wonder if ur here to team up or truly learn,

    @Overnight got butt hurt the other day for being called buddy,,, hahahahah

    u guys are waaaaaaaaay to serious waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay tooooo serious

    You write like an uneducated slob. You're disqualified for being dishonest with the general population. Further communication with you is illogical.

    OH, I am pretty sure I am on the right business as I trade and make what I need to live and then some, and on top of that I have the time and the freedom to use it as I wish which is the reason I got into trading in the first place...

    but then, for me the money I make trading are the mean and not the end as I know I do not need 10M$ and especially I would not need to trade with such an account, ever.

  10. its all relevance, do u trade to live comfy or do u trade to make money? i know for those two they simply trade to live, they dont care how much percentage that is all they care is how much money it is,

    u might not need such an account, for me tho i do know once i reach that point i will STILL be trading, for the money? for the return? for fun? to stay busy? i dont know i can only answer when i get there all i can tell u is i will be still trading maybe more maybe less, but i believe in trading and i believe in this industry
