Momento · Mar 13, 2003

another thing about the survey?
... there should be at least 2 more categories above 50K... come on...

I bet within the 50K + category.. there are at least a few guys in the 150K +

75K +
100K +
150K +

BOLT....

The question is: How much do YOU really make trading? Doesn't matter how much anyone else makes (less your spouse trades).

BSAM

Since you asked, fiscal year 2002: $92,156.23 net. That's minus commish, chat service and data feeds.

that's not too bad but if you press a little harder on good days you could pick it up a bit

You know what, it really doesn't matter whether these claims are real or not.

Only the posters know the real story, and who knows, maybe some of them trade under two names, with two bankrolls, long and short the same stocks/futures and only talk about the winning side. Shades of Hillary.

How the f are you guys doing it?

If I could make 8% of that, I'd be a happy man.

I move from stock to Futures in Jan 03... trading ZN,ZB,YM,ES and NQ with an automated system. To date I've netted $483K.

Don't let that get you down. It might be true, but it's just as possible it's BS. And for everyone who is making money, there are a lot more who are blowing out, losing their ass, or struggling to breakeven.

I'll be sure and post when I start pulling in 100g's a year.
