I dunno about Ho, but I know of someone who makes more than that.Do you know anyone making 50K/month day trading?
So what's your stat since you fired up this journal?
Uh oh. Maybe you should spend more time on strategy testing than going out on a limb with all the pikers here.If I had to estimate, I'd say -$25K ish?

Hello Overnight,I hate autostrats. I'm weaning myself back into intraday scalping, manually. I love the mental engagement. (But hate it at the same time, as evidenced by how I felt on Wednesday during the Minutes release.)
The thing is, scalping ain't what it used to be. These days, you're competing against the machines and manual scalping will put you at a disadvantage. Also keep in mind that these number-crunching POS's are more pronounced on time frames that are used by most daytraders, like 1 minute or 5 minute chart. I would suggest you switch to using Tick or Range charts.Hello Overnight,
I love scalping manually. It is fun.
You will have more fun and profits scalping.
Manually swing trading is hard.
