Im so greatful that some of you even take the time to post. At your income level it must cost at least $100 in forgone easy $ to enter your wisdom.
Yes, I have calculated Gertsman's cost of posting...but it is way over $100. Everyone please include their billing address in their next post so he may collect.
In 2003 I was able to make on average $100,000 a month, although some were more and some were less from memory none were down months. 2004 and 2005 were not up to that level, about 50-60% as I found I had to adapt my trading to chaging markets. I also know of a few people in my office who have reached that level. We trade futures in a prop firm, but yes we hold overnight positions, although usually not outright. It can be done and it could surprise some that once you find a niche it doesn't actually take a lot of size to attain these kind of profitability levels.
