independent traders trading their own account and either have another business and job and have no clients.

That pretty much nails me, actually.

I'm an independent trading my own account, but with a successful business/career that gives me time + opportunity + capital to explore this.

About 10 years ago... I was just out of college, and like many of the hot-shot daytraders who still storm into the "Trader" forum claiming it should be easy to make 5-10% a month/week/day. I was using MBT way back then, too. I started off with $20k of borrowed money, and lost about 60% of that within 6 months. Tuition paid.

Now I'm back after making my fortune in the "real" world, and I (hope) wiser about the trading world. I'm not day-trading, and instead am automating a multi-day statistical arb strategy.
 
You should have made a Survey if you really want to get a good representative of the board.

Most guys are amature to semi-pro, most of the real pros headed for the hills a while back.
 
This board is mostly for traders hence the word "Trader" in its name. :) I guess you'll need to add that category or you should be asking that question on a different forum.
