The other option I'm already pursuing, is working with a university PhD candidate to produce such a study.

You are absolutely correct that my preference is for a current demographic study conducted by professional demographers. I've made that abundantly clear in this thread. The reason for that is that I prefer to have the most accurate information possible, and a demographer who is an expert in...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely contact the schools. (My alma mater is on the list, University of Texas. Didn't even know they had such a program......I'm sure they didn't when I attended many moons ago) We think alike...lol, as I've already searched Stocks and Commidites...

wrbtrader, This is my second response to your post, because I thought of something else. The one area you didn't mention in your post is universities. That's where I really thought early on in this journey, I would find what I'm searching for. I've been given, and followed up on many...

Hi wrbtrader, You make some good points. However, the SEC did release a report to the general public that included day trader demographics and a host of other data. The only problem with that study is that it was released in the year 2000, so it's completely outdated. Wish they would get off...

gmst, I appreciate your post and thoughts. And I understand what you are saying. Having said that, I only partially agree with your statement. If there was a publicly available study freely available online, I don't know why anyone would not be willing to post it here........I certainly...

Got quiet in here. :)

Hi C_T, I read the first few pages and the last few pages of your thread. Some very nice trades. Is your trading method and rules posted anywhere, so I can see them? Thanks, Ric

Hello traders, While I appreciate the effort of all those who have sincerely attempted to help me, this thread has been inundated with posts that are not germane to my original post and thread title, "Day Trader Demographics." So it appears, that readers either are not carefully...

What the heck does this have to do with Day Trader Demographics??????

If you'll re-read my post carefully, you'll see that I'm not looking to compile a demographic study. What I'm looking for is an existing up-to-date study conducted by a professional demographer. And no, it is not "for the purpose of discouraging others to try their hand at day trading? " Why...

LOL gmst, I'm learning that. :D Thanks!

Hi Brighton, Thanks for your thoughtful post. My journey in locating this data, thus far, is proving that your points appear to be spot on. However, I'm still hopeful I might find what I'm searching for. Kind regards, Ric

If you'll re-read my original post, you'll see that I've already done that. Do you not actually have any studies or links to them? Your post sounded like you do; "Every academic white paper I've come across over the years on the topic.....". I'd like to see the studies to which you refer...

bone, Thanks for your response. I'd like to take a look at the academic white papers, of which you speak. Concerning your comments about the information being "just wrong", any study has to be looked at through the filter of the where the information came from, and who conducted it. But I...

Conducting research.

Hi seadog, Your assumption is incorrect. I've been a trader for 7 years. Regards, Ric

Hi jack, Based on your comment, I can only assume (and it's not usually good to do that....lol) that you have up-to-date day trader demographics. Is that a correct assumption? If the answer is yes, would you please tell me where I can access it? Thanks, Ric

Hi wrbrader, I appreciate your response. The subsets you mention are basically what I'm searching for. Do you have a recent study or studies by reputable demographers on day traders? Thanks, Ric

Hi nazzdack, Thanks for your response. However, I'm searching for a professionally conducted study in order to have highly accurate demographic data. Regards, Ric
