You're right. The poller made an obvious mistake. As you must see, polling is an advanced discipline that requires specific skills. It can be heavily misleading... Can't it, Mr Bush? :eek: But HEY - Let's face it : Isn't it awesome to know that 34% of ES traders make 5-10pts per day? ~Scientist
This should be reinforced by this independent statistic I grabbed somewhere: Of all beginning private (non-professional / institutional) ES Traders; 6% lose all initial capital within 1 day of trading. 16% within the first week 36% within 2 weeks 58% within 3 weeks. 66% within the first month of trading. 81% within the first 3 months. 92% within the first 6 months. 96% within the first 12 months. 99.4%-99.7% fail in their endeavour over time. Surprisingly enough, the other 0.3% make 5-10pts per day, because they're so good. I don't actually make this much, although I'm excellent. I'm happy to make a quarter of that (on average!). Maybe I haven't figured it and I'm amongst those 99.7% as well? Never thought about it. Hey you 5-10pt (100-200pt / month). guys, could you give us a few hints on how to annualize 1,000% + per annum like you do ? Just a hint will do. ~Scientist
Don't even think about it! Going for those kind of profits is a great way to go broke! :eek: Might as well go to Vegas and have some fun... Compliments, ~The Scientist
I guess if you are going for that then you would go broke, but when it happens over time as a consequence of good management and discipline? hmmmmm..... Best Natalie
