a very few like , the boxer, Rocky Marciano will retire as champions. you can assume some have long term stock portfolios and other assets. https://www.wsj.com/articles/unbeaten-review-forty-nine-wins-and-no-losses-1532050286 no losses for traders means over a period of time. successful traders are those who make an acceptable living trading.
"those who make an acceptable living trading" So you don't have to become the richest person on earth. Better to become the happiest...
I don't know any making a living traditional day trading. Although, they did try, then realized day trading is for novice traders making an attempt at the dream. You know the difference between some who trades daily vs traditional day trading?
You are one of the crowd that did not find the daytrading secret. First part of the secret is that you never daytrade stocks. And as almost everybody trades stocks or options the successful daytraders are rare. Your posting makes no sense: First you say: I don't know any making a living traditional day trading. Second you say: Although, they did try, then realized day trading is for novice traders making an attempt at the dream. Conclusion: You know that the daytraders that you don't know tried making an attempt at the dream. LOL. You are posting nonsense as you cannot make the second statement if you don't know any daytrader that makes money. You know in best case only the losing ones. I am not sure you are aware of your nonsense. Might be too challenging for you.
if you don't move from being a novice day trader to being a professional day trader you will fail. your dream will be exactly that, a dream.
Likely better off searching for a real Cyrstal ball than spending time trading. That totally changed trading.
Here is the secret: 1. Wait an hour after US market open 2. Flip a coin 3. Heads go long/Tails go short
