Trader salary scale

You've all seen them. Many websites and employers post a scale..that if you work for them for 2 years, you make X amount..so on and so on until the scale has a maximum to how much you'll make a year.

from 1- 5 years, how much do you think a traders "salary" should increase year by year from the different forms of trading starting out at 50k ?

-- speak from experiance if you like --

Day trading:

Scalping
* year 1
* year 2
* year 3
* year 4
* year 5

Swing trading
* year 1
* etc...

Position trading
* year 1
* etc...

Ok, let me dumb it down for some people.

After 5 years of trading, what are reasonable expectations for how much a trader would take home before taxes and other expenses ?.

Is the trader in question relatively bright or a dumbass?

Some will make huge dough after 1 year, some will continue to collect food stamps after 5 years...... I think you're asking about the average trader. However, who the hell wants to be an average trader?

If you want a dependable salary get a job.
