I have been in professional risk mgmt for a long time and I have seen independent traders making that kind of money. Yes I know some too,unfortunately I am not one of them But I am kind of new to retail land. What exactly is a day trader? Is a systematic statistical guy who holds intra day a day trader, hft market markers, is it only reserved for non systematic technical analysis guys?? What I do know is that they are very well capitalized.
Are you seriously suggesting that there is no difference whether the position is 50m or 500mm? I guarantee you that execution for very large positions is very different. There's a reason they're called whales and daytraders are just small fish.
And good hedge funds make 12%per year, i can make and have made 12% in a day. He's an idiot posting with 2 id's
However you look at it, it would be a disaster for a hedge fund to have a performance like yours of: turning $10300 into $7600 or turning $700 into $7600.
You have neither 50m or 500m, why should it be a concern ? Thus far we don't even know if you know how to trade $5.
