Average # of trades per day

No wonder most people lose... that's way too much trading.

Depends on your style... Picking up quick scalp profits or losses will result in more trades.

I guess we should also characterize trades. If I were to break down my trades into actual ideas and not putting the positions on themselves it'd probably be more like 3-6. I usually scale in/out so actual trades from a trade log are more.

You can even see it in the charts. Count everyday the big waves.
I average between 1.79 and about 3 trades a day for the last year. Depending on how the markets are.
