How much was your highest intraday trading profit?

Good trading is a marathon, not a sprint. A trader is inclined to suffer their largest losses after their largest winning spree, until they get their black belt in risk mgmt - capital preservation.

Highly tuned traders become a lot more concerned on how good they play defense, the profits will always take care of itself if you can stop the big losses.

"A well-played stop-loss is just about the most beautiful trade there is." Cy, Japanese retail trader that made $34M on his big Nikkei short.

And original poster needs to say , does he mean on the account that got blown up or on account with more wise trading?? LOL Big difference!!
 
I think it was 2005 had 7000 shares of SRPT at about $8 ,i think it was a Monday and they were looking at getting approval for their drug for DMD. On the next day the stock was up to 46 ish at open i sold out around 38 a quick $210,000. It dropped right back over the next while and i missed the most recent pop. Shows you should always put an alert on a stock even though you are not watching it!!!
 
My best day was $37k profit on a bunch of mining stocks that went crazy, but I'm not intraday.
Biggest loss $18k in a day.
Twice I've hit $24k profit in a day, but then the next few days normally a lot of it evaporates.
Today I was up $7k.
