I used to, but got hooked on futures and never looked back. With the tax advantages, and the ability to truly reduce risk through trading of completely uncorrelated markets I simply can't imagine why you'd want to trade stocks.
Because almost no one really makes $ trading futures.
Actually, equities in the short term is also a zero sum game. Statistically there is little to no daily serial correlation in stocks, so if you are a true day trader, that's essentially a zero sum game when considered over enough periods.
Longer term trading is another story. Does the fact that futures is a zero sum game make it more difficult to make money? Perhaps. All I know is I struggled for 3 years to trade stocks and never really understood what was going on. I had my epiphany with futures and now understand what is happening and why I do what I do. I am also profitable and unlike before when I would have occaisional wins, I'm supremely confident that the results will continue.

I have been trading The $SOX for 3 yrs.
Good for both scalping and holding longer intra day positions.

SINA, SOHU, NTES,
And fast moving small coms.
IVAN,....(I can't remember what I used to trade,)
basically, anything with news.
I watch the ticker during 8-open and try to spot a fast mover.
then I wait till 10-10:30 to get in.
That way i get the direction down.
I used to trade KLAC, MSFT, QLGC
But I either caught a shift, or my technique changed...whatever works for you...stick with it for a while.
Until you find something else.
Good Luck.
