Is day trading worth it?

[Turveyd]

What are you expecting? That someone will come to this thread, post broker statements indicating that he makes money every day, tell you exactly when he trades and why, just so that you can imitate him?

I thought that, then I thought still do maybe that's he's trying to sell something, but suspecting the simplest answer is the correct answer as always....

He's just a bit on the simple side nutter like most, with a huge ego, he thinks he's smart and everyone else must be dumb as he doesn't understand them.

He claims to be " on the other side ", but refuses to post any evidence or even explain how he's on the other side.

Or just a bored unemployed troll!

This type of evidence does not exist for DIY at home day traders. Just a bunch of claims from anonymous posters and Desperate folks wanting to be paid.

So if a successful trader puts a price on their time and privacy they are desperate. Yet you continue trolling ET all day every day with your theory trying to draw attention to yourself and you are not even a trader. You are a clown.

Interestingly, other succesful folks, in similar businesses, like poker players share their success freely. In addition, real traders do also-- remember trader magazine??

If you were truly concerned about privacy and time, you wouldn't post here at all--- there's a disconnect between your words and actions. I say SHORT.

Ha, your right! Tim has had an edge and made millions day trading.

JA and i witnessed the same thing at the fund--- 100's of supposed succesful traders-- ironically many from elite trader-- all with verifiable track records and vetted -- thru the door with a 99% failure rate day trading When tested with real money. And these guys want me to believe them??

Thanks for your contribution to my "successful" trader characteristics list:

1. Can't show ability to trade because you must pay first
2. Can't show seat at exchange because CME says so
3. Take the other side of ExperiencedJoe
4. Aggression and abuse towards those requesting evidence of ability to trade - if you can't beat the market, beat the crap out of the next guy passing by.

I believe he's merely diversifying his income stream via an advanced payment strategy. Not a trading strategy, but quite innovative and logical - first I have seen on forums in my years of experience.

To those who are at an early stage (and want to be constructive and make progress):

It's reasonable to be sceptical, however believing profitable trading can be possible is a critical step. It's going to be difficult to make progress if you don't even believe what you're setting out to achieve is possible.

Failing knowing a career trader personally, you could sign up to an online trading room where live calls are made. Make sure you do your due diligence and find a good one. Watch an experienced trader (his/her screen, P&L and live calls) day after day, raking in profits four days out of five for a few months and you'll soon believe it's possible. Even if you don't take (copy) the trades, it could be well worth the $150 per month fee.

The challenge is then to convert that belief of others' success into the belief it is possible for you too, which could will take time.
