How much do day traders make

[systematictrader]

*rubs temples*

Maybe one day in the future, Rufus, you'll get to see what I am on about if I start a journal here. But for now, I need to trade to be able to eat, pay rent etc.

fair enough man, u and i both go back on forth on opinions but its very evident and is a fact with small traders that their focus is always how much money they make rather than percentage which in itself i believe why many fail( including my past self), when they turn an account thats 5k or 10k to double they are not happy,, why? cuz its not enough to live off of annually speaking yet whats not realized is that was 100 percent then they step up risk even more to MAKE MORE dollars and blow away what was good,, meanwhile a person who comes up and says i made 500k in trading but his account is 10m is looked upon highly yet that guy did worse than buy and hold

trading results is measured in percentages and thats a fact,,, u can make allll the money in the world u want but if its aint near top in percentage basis no one cares, at least now wall st

seems like u know bullshit and a lot of its smell, make sure u get the double thick toilet paper,,,

@vanzandt perhaps there might not have been a slam but i didnt see it that way, you and @algofy and @Overnight always gang up together, its evident in most of ur posts, u should approach things more neutrally

one might wonder if ur here to team up or truly learn,

@Overnight got butt hurt the other day for being called buddy,,, hahahahah

ur rather a plain idiot overnight, and its proven with ur posts, percentage matter only to the small guys and not the big guys??? wtf?? do u listen to ur self??? then how is performance measured at big funds and ctas??? by how much money they made or by what percent up is the fund??? ur telling me that u trade and the only figure u care about is percent??? when just in ur previous post u said u trade on a profit target and based on how much ur cell phone bill is,,,, lol,,,

i still dont know how and where u infered that i got a ton of money,, if i did i wouldnt be here to learn more and argue with the few morans like u and algofy,,,,

percentages is all that matter for the bigger guys cuz thats how they measure what they are making and whether its worth the time,,,

ur obvioulsy so small minded that u cant see it any other way,,,



rather the smaller ones, who are trying to trade for a living
do u interpret ur own writing? how does percentage matter to the small investor who at the end of the damn year or month has an X amount of expenses in aboslute dollars??? how tell me???? tell me how do u draw these conclusions..

a small trader makes 100 percent and is great,,, thats what he cares about according to u,, when that 100% might have been made on a 3000 dollar account and end of year he actually made less than minimum wage,,, ur a brilliant man overnight... BRILLIANT,,,

make sure u bring enough toilet paper while wiping @algofy butt[/QU

make sure u bring enough toilet paper while wiping @algofy butt

OK, little man.

 

[systematictrader]

OK, little man.

You write like an uneducated slob. You're disqualified for being dishonest with the general population. Further communication with you is illogical.

u might be in the wrong field cuz trading with that sense might make it a hobby rather than a profession, u might not trade 10m account but i know 2 people that trade near that size and they are very comfy and trading stress to them is just as much as it is to the smaller guy, the amounts are usually irrelevant, the percentages are what matter,

OH, I am pretty sure I am on the right business as I trade and make what I need to live and then some, and on top of that I have the time and the freedom to use it as I wish which is the reason I got into trading in the first place...

but then, for me the money I make trading are the mean and not the end as I know I do not need 10M$ and especially I would not need to trade with such an account, ever.

its all relevance, do u trade to live comfy or do u trade to make money? i know for those two they simply trade to live, they dont care how much percentage that is all they care is how much money it is,

u might not need such an account, for me tho i do know once i reach that point i will STILL be trading, for the money? for the return? for fun? to stay busy? i dont know i can only answer when i get there all i can tell u is i will be still trading maybe more maybe less, but i believe in trading and i believe in this industry
