Quote from Port1385:
Listen everyone. Everyone makes $$$ on Elitetrader. There are billionaire fund managers on this board. Dont doubt it, they are here everyday making $$$. Only the best traders come to this board. Why isnt that believable?
The best advice I can give you is to worry about your own situation and not someone else's. Focus on improving what you drive and dont look at someone else's ride...
100k per day?Quote from kalikahuna:
So, I am not a day trader...solely do option trades that are usually held 2-5 days so not too familiar with what kind of capital and expectancies ppl have to day trade full time.
But a friend of mine, her new boyfriend told me and my wife that he avgs. 100k/day day trading in addition to earning 1mil/yr in long-term capital gains. Is this common? or is he likely full of BS? He does seem to be well off with a nice house in Century City and a ferrari...but 100k/day consistent profit day trading sounds extremely tough and I would expect him to be in Trader Monthly's top 100 traders or something then.
Ask him how who enters the trades.Quote from kalikahuna:
