You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

I've been trading profitably for 21 years. No, I have not been up every year but over the course of 21 years I have been very profitable. Even the best investors in the world have down years. Does that mean profitable investors don't exist? There are plenty of profitable traders out there.
In fact, I asked my trading/tax accountant about it one time and he said 36% of his clients are profitable but none of them could make a living at it if they are trading their own account. He said the only ones he knew who could make a living at it were the ones who manage other people's money.

himself
notice that even after i did show him the proof he is still in total denial..now he DEMANDING audited statements fo 7 ...oh ..no...now it's 10 years....OP-go back to that thread in my first post here...
i have no problem to provide you audited statements, as long as you pay for audit itself..
2 reasons why I believe there is more opportunity to become a successful trader:
1) to be successful in Hollywood or in pop music you generally have to be attractive .... not so in trading, AT ALL
2) to have a chance at a successful career in Hollywood or in pop music you generally have to start quite young, and those careers usually peak sometime before or around middle age .... in trading you can start in your 40's or 50's and be very successful; in fact you're more likely to have some money saved to work with, which can make all the difference.
