As someone said before you can replace floor trader with black box or whatever you like. My point is simple. The vast majority of retail traders in general lose money, but especially retail traders that are into daytrading since is one of the most exciting yet compulsive way to trade. It is...

EPrado, Maybe you need another 17 years to "get it." UNLESS of course you are saying that the majority of retails daytraders are successful. Is that what you are saying ?

Usually hedge funds have an edge, with no edge one is a gambler. The majority of retail daytraders are gamblers and blow up. Ask around. If you can daytrade and make money all more power to you.

Yes it is possible, but...you have to understand how volatile is the option you are trading the moment you are trading it. You could for instance look at a chart with the option past prices just like you would do for a stock. If you buy options you will be better off with a time frame that is...

EPrado, It has been more than two years, maybe 4 but I started recording everything, performance, trades etc etc 2 years ago when I quit my job as a photographer and started trading full time. The fact that I can not daytrade or don't know good daytraders does not mean that it can not be...

I will take all your money and if I don't someone else will...GAMBLERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

I have been trading professionally ( meaning I have no other source of income or activity ) for the last 2 years and last year my account was up 34%. My setup can only be applied to options not daytrading and this is certainly not the place to get into complex details. I still have a lot of...

I am an option seller not a daytrader. The shorter time frame you trade is going to take, the harder it is to make money. Usually when daytraders try to reach for the money, they get their fingers chopped by floor traders.

I have been an option seller for the last 2 years, I believe that writing has an edge. Option is a zero sum game, if you do not have an edge in selling them then you should have an edge in buying them. Question: have you never met one single option buyer who could make money consistently ?

Although a few might be good I never met a daytrader who can make money consistently. I am not even sure why reatail costumers bother with daytrading.

once again... my odds of being as famous as Angelina Jolie are better than your odds of making 50k in one year. AND... I am not even in the movie business ! So this is the second time, ideally your thread and attempt should scare other traders, but it will just make them more excited...

Look, in the end is what we make of it. I can tell you that I have a mentor and after checking his performance I paid him to mentor me. He is a trader first and he didn't even wanted to mentor me. It took six months of back and forth emails and finally we agreed on a 1 year mentorship for...

You are assuming a lot of stuff. Just for the records I have been trading professionaly for 3 years. I have my performance and my trades posted on my site. By professionally I mean that I have no other job income or activity or obligation. Trading is all I do, I look at a PC screen for a few...

Brandof, TraderZones comment was refreshing to read. Although it was in my favor it shows that there are a few people people who when it comes to trading and instead of fighting reality they try to embrace it. I don't know Traderzone but I know YOU Brandof. After your 5500 posts, you...

You are cutting and pasting only the things that you want from my previous comment. I said before ( and of course you did not include that part ) that I had no intention to insult anyone, not you not the OP. English is not my first language, but I hope you get it now. My story is that once...

My story is irrilevant, and if I tell you, after your reply, you'd feel even more insulted. I had no intention to insult anyone. Did you take a moment and read what the OP is asking for ? I tried to help him with a realistic answer, but if you think you can do better, go ahead. So far your...

Elite Trader used to be a cool place, but lately the toverall hreads value is less and less and less... 1) You said you did this before and got losing traders, why are you back here ? 2) How much trading capital are you talking about ? That is the very first thing you should mention it...

Riiight, my odds of being as famous as Angelina Jolie are better than your odds of making 100k in six months. AND... I am not even in the movie business !
