D08 should then also show the 6 figure account statements,not? If one has to proof the other one should proof too. Daytrading with no losing months is possible and not exceptional. And no, I will not show any statements.
There are lots of successful day traders in this forum. They are in the 10% category. There are also lots of unsuccessful traders who think trading is simply just pressing BUY and SELL buttons in random order. the 90% of the traders who lose money think trading is very simple; they think trading like using the sledgehammer to change rock into stone. the 10% of the trader who earn tons of money treat trading as a skill; they spend thousands and thousands of hours learning how to grind / polish a stone into a priceless diamond.
%% Much more likely/its 80/20%. Good question but a much better/more helpful question is what % of marketmakers/trader-investors+ investors make money?? .Much more likely thats 80% or88% Im not a market maker but I help them/i'm in that last group...……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
%% Mostly right,Va; I seldom do any polls. But as they say in Chicago ''Vote early + vote often'' Amen.
D08 has not claimed zero losing months. Not saying no losing months is impossible, just that I suspect AbbotAle is speaking of theory rather than his actual trading when he speaks of no losing months.
I guess some attract more day-traders than others, but they're all trading accounts through e.g. CFD's and spreadbetting. Check out any home page.
What percentage of algo bots (HFT's) [many of them actually Market Makers] make money? I'd guess at least 80-90-percent. Now if the Socialists will put them out of business, fast typing traders can make more. Just vote with your pocketbook. BIDEN/HARRIS! (I am bitterly sarcastic)
%% 100% correct. Trend follower/billionaire JH said ''what some call luck I call a small sample'' True
