Is daytrading easier now than a year ago?

[chinook]

Can somebody let me know where I can find historical margin requirements for NQ/ES? I got curious about what NQ/ES overnight margin req. were during summer of 2002.

Thanks.

It was always easier in the period before the current one.

Exactly. Even in the "Glory days" of 1999/2000 people bitched and moaned how hard the market had gotten and oh how they wish we could go back to the good old days. Most traders lose, and so by definition the market is hard for them.

It's like saying...

This years flu is much tougher than last year.

Past is always viewed passively and the moment is always tough...

Stupid question to start off with.

Will your setup start losing edge?

Yes, it will stop working. Nothing stays, everything thing stays in motion.

That is an entirely relative assumption, to say the least.

With increasing price comes declining price leverage.
