Just to add to Rtharp's comment, many super successful senior traders at my firm eventually became trading desk managers, they still trade their own account, but the money they make from commissions makes it possible to take their income to next level . . .
As a day trader I think you will eventually top out at a few million a year (not that I will ever get to that point), but successful trading desk managers can contest for 10 million a year and beyond . . .
