        a friend of mine got into it and claimed to have some early success; I did plenty of research and gave it a very serious, dedicated effort for about 9 months, but I couldn't get ahead in the long term. my friend, who wound up getting so involved with it he later began coaching others, eventually quit day trading due to "the fees eating up my profits." So evidently it wasn't profitable for him either.

        I think the notion of any long term (year to year) profitability from day trading on a home pc over dial-up is just a pipe dream used to sell day trading courses. You're competing against firms with fast computers and algorithms written in C, with the hardware located as close to the trading floor as possible to minimize response times. Running TradeStation on a home pc via DSL/cable just isn't competitive.

          A very good friend of mine owns a forex brokerage and he would show me all these accounts and how fast the brokers would just drain them. He told me in 20 yrs he's never seen anyone make any money. They all lose. That's why when crucifissio tells me he's day trading bitcoin and making bank I just laugh.

                        You must be confused. I'm not talking about buying bitcoins. I like cryptos. I'm talking about FOREX trading which has crazy risks.

                          FOREX is a losers game. Like 99% lose money and if you give them enough time that 1% will lose it too. The only people that make money are banks and brokerage firms. He just hears currency trading and thinks cryptocurrencies not realizing FOREX is the biggest market in the world trading 5 TRILLION daily.

                          Day trading anything is hard. If it was easy, casinos wouldn't be in business.

                            Money trading is a long term thing to really profit. Not a day thing.

                            And you need a large amount that you can risk. Im talking 100K or more.

                              similar experience from my friend, 6 figures+, long term 1.5+ year no profits still not ahead. About your guy - you know what they say

                                  WTF are you talking about? Currency shifts maybe 5% over long times, and that is a LOSS.

                                  Currency = daytrade
                                  Stock = Long + daytrade
                                  Options = Long + daytrade
                                  Bonds = long

                                    some people do longer term currency trades - days, weeks, months etc. It's not unheard of. I doubt if many are holding for longer than that, or if they are more likely not on margin at a brokerage but just in a bank account somewhere.

                                      Yeah they have currency options and agricultural options (corn, soybeans, soybean oil, soybean meal) etc.

                                        Might not be unheard of, but its the dumbest way you could possibly invest

                                          If you have an investment of 100K or more you can make some money in a day. if you dont you cant. you need to sit and wait for a big drop or a big gain. Thats in the weeks and months range not hours and minutes.

                                          For instance.

                                          today the mexican peso

                                          Day Low
                                          19.4106

                                          Day High.
                                          19.4146

                                          See that HUGE day difference?? No you dont.

                                          Now look at the year

                                          Low
                                          18.5033

                                          high
                                          20.6574

                                          that is a huge difference. With that, you made bank.

                                            I love volatility trading, but you must be able to sit at the box all day and keep cool - I can't do it.

                                              For instance.

                                              today the mexican peso

                                              Day Low
                                              19.4106

                                              Day High.
                                              19.4146

                                              See that HUGE day difference?? No you dont.

                                              Now look at the year

                                              Low
                                              18.5033

                                              high
                                              20.6574

                                              that is a huge difference. With that, you made bank.
                                              WTF? 10% a year if you are lucky.. How can you call that huge? Most pensionfunds here pay you more than that, at NO risk. Unless you can make at least 30%, you should not be in the game

                                                    Invest half a million or more.

                                                    thats what I was saying to begin with. These guys putting in 1k even 5k its not worth it. You need to move big money to make it.

                                                      Again, it nothing. Pensionfunds pay more than that.

                                                          I have a mate in Sydney who does it for a living (with one of the big banks).

                                                          I'm an options trader myself - love it.
