Smaglito: Are you Scott? The %gain on a daily basis is a function of the capital you have/use. Example: You have 25k. You put half, 12.5k to work, assuming you day-trade. A 1% gain garners you $125. A 1.5% gain gets you $157.50...is this attainable? sure. But it helps if you're a pretty good trader. And of course you can't do it every day. Hopefully you are in the 5-7% group of traders who are consistent winners.
