    Poll: Harder making $$$ daytrading at a prop firm year over year 2001-2006?

    It is certainly harder to make money nowadays. You have to be very patience and selective to be profitable in this market. I've been trading for a long time and I know that if you don't adapt to this market, you will not succeed for long. I've learned to adapt to this market fairly well...

    I'm sick and tired of work! :)

    Well said tradertony76. This is what I've been saying all alone. You have to put all your time and effort into trading inorder to succeed. If you think you have a backup plan, which you should, you will not succeed in trading. Trust me. Been there and done that.

    I'm sick and tired of work! :)

    I don't normally post many replies on ET because I disagree with many comments from ET traders. Many ET members are either new or not making decent money. When I say decent, I meant traders who are making over $100K a year. My advice to you is to follow your dream. But first of all, you...

    Trading and Job

    Trading is hard. For those who wanted to quit their full time job to day trade, I would recommend that you swing trade first. Learn the mechanics of trading and save up some money before you even think about quitting your job. I think it would be tougher for those people with family...

    (Why) do most traders lose?

    To those retail traders on ET. You guys are claiming that you are making money. How much money are you talking here? Since retail traders don't have the Buying Power (BP) like some pro traders, I would guess not much. And if you are making less than $100K, that is nothing. You have not...

    Learning without a Mentor (Daytrading)

    Do you know what your problem is? You are fighting the trend. When the market is strong, big offers will be taken out and vice versa. I would suggest that you think about your strategy again. Don't find the trend. Just go with the flow. If your mindset is always short, you will not make...

    This sucks

    How can you guys be doing so bad? The market has been tanking the past few days. Are you guys looking on the buy side only? I find that this market is very good if you are short. If you want to make good money, you have to play both the long and short side. Shorting has been very good...

    My first Overnights

    Overnighting oils was great today. I had 25k overnight and made so much money. Too bad I only have 1k each for KMG and WGR. Normally, I have more than 1k each on KMG and WGR, but the way oils was trading yesterday, it was hard to be aggressive on the overnights. It made my day though.

    Returns and Drawdowns in Trading

    Most members of Elite trader don't make money in this market. Or they make very little money, which is why you see alot of negative responses. As for me, I will make over 200% percent if i put $100k into a pro firm. As a matter of fact, I am up 3.5 times more than your initial $100k...
