Summertime. Worst time to trade. I trade FX only and summer is the time to take off.
Tan looks good. Read all the books I wanted to. Went to Tahoe and Jackson Hole. Rested and recharged.
Back at it the Wed after labor day. I think I will go to the beach for a week
Cheers all - Sept will ROCK!
Happy pips!
'good' to know it hasnt been hard for me only...guess we have to place part of the blame on mkt churn innit.

ror, 100k shares a day aint nothin', that's what i do on my very busy days and am an intraday position trader....those who regularly bank that kinda profits usually do 1mln minimum of shares per day.

intraday position trader? I thought position traders held for weeks. How many trades a day for you Bitstream? and how many positions? (rough average) and you hold them for most of the day?
Quote from Bitstream:
well, as a daytrader u either scalp or position trade, no 2ways about it. i make max [rarely]50-70 r/t a day on my worst days [churn], so yeah, on those sessions i scalp quite a few times ; am no good at it but have no choice. the numbers of trades is high because i can't see opportunities and i take a lot of chances. on my best days i dont make more than 20-30trades a day and usually are all scale-in and out in the same stock when is trendin', buildin' my position from open [or there about] 'till close. sometimes i'm done with 10 trades if i find a stock that trends big time.
