At that point in time when my ladyboy friends started requesting money for their company.
On a more serious note, I have been trading for around 15 years.
In the good old days of wide spreads and fractional equities spreads, I daytraded the bid-ask spread. In a post-decimalization world, I moved to intraday swing trading. In response to lower volatility in the early 2000s, I moved the bulk of my trading to inter-day swing and position trading. I have stayed an inter-day trader since I feel that I am able to make better decisions when not they are not required to be forced real-time decisions.

You'll have to be patient with me, I'm a novice.
Does this mean you were placing orders to buy at the bid / sell at the ask, using the level 2?

Yes, I traded level 2, when it was still a practical viability.
When trading the spread, yes.
When I moved to intraday swing trading, no -- I traded stocks making unusual intraday volume, since I was looking for clean and sustained microtrends.
Were you able to make as much after switching to intraday swing?
Yes, by position sizing differently and by modifying reward to risk, I was able to maintain and in fact increase aggregate annual trading expectancy.
I met someone who traded for a living. He showed me his set up and he discussed his profits. I was hooked.
