How hard is it with the best equipment?

Quote from Landis82:

Wow, congratulations Bugs Bunny!
You actually got outside of the "Politics and Religion" Forum for once. :D

Dude Bugscoe and Thunderdog are agreeing on something. This is a moment to be cherished.

Oh ya elitist trader. In all seriousness you might increase your chances of profitability from 4% to 5%. My true advice to you is EXPERIMENT, listen to no one but yourself and prepare yourself for years of frustration.
 
Quote from Elitist Trader:

Lets just say you have a direct optical connection to the exchange, you have the fastest computer money can buy, your brokerage per contract is measured in the cents and your trading software is custom made and purpose built for speed...

Does it take ANY skill to make money with all this?

Let me say that there is a gentleman on ET who had an active journal (until it got spammed not long ago), who as a result of a bet was limited to one monitor and all trades through Scottrade, not a day trader's top choice for speed and low cost trades that's for sure.

He is up 74% this year using a very simple effective trading strategy and a 1:2 risk:reward ratio.
