Any successful day trader out there?

People in the P/L thread posted their results but not what they trade or how they trade.

Serendipity's question was on "what stocks" we day trade.

For the past 2 years I had only traded: GS, AAPL, SPY, RIMM, SKF (over 90% of my trades).

Occassionaly I went in to trade GOOG, AMZN, XOM, SRS, FAZ.

I don't do stock hopping. I focus on a few and try to trade them well day-in day-out.

Average daily volume >1M (although personally I prefer > 5M)

Daily ATR > $1.00 (know the higher the daily ATR the more volatile it is – which could be good thing or bad thing depending on your makeup)


I would respectfully suggest following Bolimomo's advice – Find a few, stick with them, and get to know them REAL well.

What stocks do you have success with, day trading?

Any stock that I trade-as I know what I am doing-that meaning-what to pick-when to buy it-when to sell it-and when to leave it alone.

Usually the last one is the hardest. :p

It is the hardest for those who do not know what they are doing-but easy for those who do.
