Grinding it out, day after day

Lescor are just showing to traders year after year that the key is to find a true edge in the markets and be disciplined everyday.....if you found then you´ll beat the markets every year, some years making millions and others making 1/4 or 1/2 of a million!!!

To me lescor posts are at the same caliber of the market wizards.

Thanks for sharing and inspiring guys like me that are working hard everyday to find a edge in the markets.

Happy new year to you and hopefully a great big trading year!!
 
it is impressive the profit per share is as high as 3 cents. i made 330k this year but with around 30 to 40 million shares.

Quote from lescor:

For the sake of consistency, here is a wrap up of my year.

I ended up grossing $361,000 on 11.2 million shares traded. This would make my net somewhere around $325k. The year was downright discouraging for the first half. I was making money regularly, just not enough. I kept grinding away though and out of nowhere the last quarter of the year ended up being great. In fact 30% of my year was made in the last two weeks. The stats themselves are actually pretty good, similar to 2010. But I traded much much less volume than I have for several years. The markets are thinner, I'm trading less and the opportunity doesn't last as long when it does come around.

Nothing stands out as memorable or particularly interesting. The blow up of KCG on August 1st was probably the best event-driven trading event, but I was on holidays then and not trading. Most of my trader friends had one of their best days of the year that day.
