How many do you do? I'm wondering if you are the most active here. From what I've seen while lurking on the chat board (I've only been there a few times actually), you probably trade more than anyone here.

I've been trading since '77. In spite of the conventional wisdom... "less trading is better...", I say HOGWASH. One of the best years I ever had was one where I traded the most. One of the worst was when I traded the least. What really matters is "trading well"... good decisions. FREQUENCY of trade is entirely irrelevant!!

I do an avg of 24 trades a day, so on a 20 trading month.
---> APPROX. 480?

(450 to 500) not more, not less.

I am a one stock scalper too when it comes to stock trading.
(but i find the ES so much better to trade and scalp lately.)

Scalping------------about 25-50 trades a day
Swing trades-------about 15-20 trades each month

10 to 30 option trades per month. Usually, hold the contracts until expiration to reduce commission and slippage.
