The problem with this thread is that it depends on the amount traded. I am not just talking about the lack of need to earn high returns and take greater risks when you already have a lot of money. I am also speaking of hedging pressures (both legal and illegal) that do not scale linearly with the amount of money traded. For example, imagine a strategy that could consistently make 1500% in a week, but only if you started the week with 50 dollars. So the question is too simple.

Build a system to daytrade and see what you can make. Realize that this is the best you can get. Decide for yourself if it is enough for you to continu. Understand that what other can make will not affect your performance. The only thing that can affect your performance is your own hard work. So the question from the OP is irrelevant, and this thread is more than 10 years old.
Good post. This can vary Greatly on a number of factors and variables. I'm glad you revived it -- wasn't aware of this.
