Thanks very much! I really appreciate your answers.
However I would risk asking again for a very approximate estimate of the performance of the successful trader. I do understand, that most probably one would end up losing money. I am not asking about millions per day wonders.
But if there exist SURVIVORS, then considering day trading for a living as a regular job, what average (probable) return do you think could be a reasonable, humble goal?
If it a return of 1.5% a year, one would better put his money in a bank. So there definitely exists a lower bound.
Then what are the stakes a day trader is playing for?
Thanks again,
George J.
