    Why not? I'm already better than 90% everywhere else. No joking. I don't even try that hard and I sill perform better than 90% at work compare to everyone else even people who's been there for 20 years.

    I would consider that as bad. But winning is winning I suppose...

    If I am not wrong, AAPL was split 7/1 and 200 was before the split :eek:

    Fair enough.

    If +200% ROI in 2 months (in retail account terms) is bad, then what do you consider to be good?!

  7. Really ? Try creating an automated trading system to beat those trading stats.
    Nearly impossible.

    You should be right. I don't trade AAPL so I was not exact on the range.

  9. So my estimate of his profitability in dollar terms was close ?

  10. The OP asked:

    When is the right time to quit your job and trade full time?

    The answer is never.

    Giving up a good job to trade is probably the single most foolish thing a person can do careerwise.
