    As you said, there are 1001 ways to trade, but are all the 1001 ways the same good? Are all of them making 50% annually? It is like NBA basketball players,some player makes 50M a year, some makes 1M a year.You are the player who makes 1 M a year but who doesn't believe someone can makes 50M a year. You have logic problem when you assume all the different ways to trade are the same good and can not exceed 50% annually.Because you have no idea how other people trade and how they profit.You are trying to make conclusion on things you don't know. Some people can profit significantly better than you because they don't stop thinking and stop improvement like you and because they are much more talented than you and can achieve what you think is impossible.
    Also when you trade once a week you are bored but when you assume those who trade 15 trades a day are also bored you have problem with your logic.

    As long as you are not misreading - my trading is not boring for ME statement - by thinking that means I am saying trading is exciting. And excited trading is some sort of addiction I need treatment for.

    You didn't I know. A clueless other did. Not you millionaire.

    Not saying you are saying that is me but in any case it is not.

    I don't trade just a couple of hours a day (European open to US close) and I don't limit myself to how much the market might give me.

    I transitioned to trading on a tablet because being stuck in a computer chair the entire time staring at my monitor was too much. Being able to take my tablet anywhere with ease is far more manageable. Since my daytrading is primarily intraday swings it only requires quick glances to see if certain signals have been met which doesn't require the added edge my PC provides.

    It does mean my tablet must be with me at all times, especially since I trade index futures which falls outside of a rigid US hours system, but being able to watch movies or run errands makes any edge the PC provides well worth the sacrifice.

    Yeah, I thought so. Negativity is not a trait of a winner.
    Happy trades!
