Is day trading worth it?

I never said that I made 60 and 80 NQ profits. As for my P&L, I don't have either at the moment. My only trade was a scratch.

And since it's nearly 1100, I'm done.

How many trades do you have typically in a day, DB?

You quit trading for ET, hilarious.

Why trade longer if you don't have to?

DBP, I honestly don't make or lose a dime on the fact that you don't trade. My only contention was that you should limit your unending BS to your SLA thread (singular we pray!). Stop infecting other threads with your snake oil.

Interesting, so now you're a noob? Up until this morning, you were preaching other real traders, who have been doing this for decades, as if they were noobs...lol

PS: 7 point emergency stop on a 1 minute chart....good luck!

Sorry - I thought you were actually interested. You are the only one in this thread who thinks I was claiming to be an expert. I believe I can speak to trading psychology as a former professional poker player but that's about it.

Also an emergency stop is in case I get disconnected. It doesn't represent my actual risk in most situations.

Wow, you must know Joey Commisso if you're a former pro. Somehow I doubt it.

Ok guys what do you think of this:

Yesterday Nodoji posted a fake blotter. See link: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showpost.php?p=3960386&postcount=280

The second price (101.85) is impossible. Price wasn't there at that time.

She admits it later in the thread that it was an April Fool joke.

So if she's faking a blotter now, how do you know she wasn't fudging all her blotters?

I see two today. Is that it?

Looks like it. Slow day.
But that's still 2 more calls than you've made in a decade.

There's a trader called pinkman who has posted hundreds of live calls.
Unbelievable results, but all in realtime before our eyes.

Noooo! You doubt the veracity of the chick who never has a losing day?!

I didn't bring it up, Daring did. He handed it off to LF. You and your friends ran with it. This whole thing could have ended 300 posts ago. If you want to stop, then stop. I have no interest in continuing it, particularly since all I see here is a lot of haha and lol but no trading.
