Are you a successful at home day trader with no other source of income who began with modest means?

This thread is a fascinating combination of believability and total horseshit.

For example, here's a believable story:

trickshot : "I myself made nearly 7 figures in 5 years with a 20k account because I was able to repeatedly exploit a certain inefficiency in the market (which obviously doesn't exist anymore)..."

And here is total, stupid-beyond-measure horseshit:

Clubber Lang : "I started with 10k in March of '99. Lost $2400 my second day trading. 90% of it in my first three months. Treaded water through most of the summer then things started making sense. Made back all my losses in August, then made 160k+ from Sept-Dec..."

From $1K in June to $160+K in December. LMAO!! No need to read the rest of that fairytale.

No wonder that assclown displays his minimalist IQ with every post.

I was hoping you would show up again Kunty.
This just reinforces what I've always suspected about you...
You're not a full time trader, you've never made money , and you just come on here to cry and post about your left-wing drivel.

Thanks for the morning laugh. My breakfast will taste much better knowing what a complete and total loser you really are :)

For traders such as myself who traded through the time period Clubber was referencing, it makes perfect sense and happened all the time. Heck, I know a real estate agent who made over a million in a single month starting with just $10k--- those were crazy times, you shouldn't display your ignorance if were not there. surf

It seems "modest" is not the same to all upon reading the thread. I certainly thought the successful example of the gentleman above who started with $90K as modest though it seems not all agree with that.

Reasonable to say modest is somewhere up to $100k? At least in the case of the professional who's had time to save.

Bingo

People were sitting at their normal 9-to-5 jobs on E*TRADE accounts making tens of thousands of dollars.

We aren't talking about real estate, smurf, we're talking about a newbie trader who starts killing it in his first six months. Nobody does that good without insider info, and yes I do remember the Nineties.

BTW, smurf, why didn't it happen to YOU? :D

P.S. I see my stalker Slobber Lang posted less than ten minutes after I did. No surprise there, he's been jonesing to suck my cock for years. Makes you wonder though: what kind of alleged multi-millionaire spends all his spare time stalking and posting other horseshit in online forums? All that alleged money and he can't come up with a better way to spend his time. :D

Frequent day trading + leveraged + gung ho attitude to risk + tech stocks doubling during that period + a long bias(?).

That's a possible explanation.

We already know you're stupid. But apparently you have reading comprehension deficiency as well.

1- surfs friend was in real estate but he made MM trading
2- I didn't make a dollar from March-August '99. That's six months you dolt.
2- 160k is "killing it"? LMFAO. You're a bigger piker than I thought. Hahahahaha

Where I come from, starting out with $90K and living expenses is not beginning with "modest means." So basically you're just here to brag about your success. Congrats but this thread isn't about people like you. It's about those very few traders who started out with a few grand (90 doesn't qualify as "a few" in anybody's world) and built it up to a sizable amount, say $90k or more.

I saved the $$$ over time to have what I felt was needed to have adequate capital. People who start with a few thousand dollars, whether trading prop or retail, are at much higher probability of blowing out. If I were starting a business, whether a restaurant or whatever, I'd make sure I had adequate cash on hand to get the business running as it takes time to generate profits in any new venture.
