xstuckey: Your question should elicit some good response.

From my point of view the "pros" are professional traders. I would say primarily those employed at various trading desks at financial institutions around the world. Typically these individual specialize in particular securities, markets and strategies. They are supplied with capital by their parent institutions and are given the latitude to trade it based on their abilities. Needless to say that bad traders get weeded out quickly in this type of environment. Also there are many of these traders who have become successful in their own right and trade capital for themselves. These types of traders tend to keep a low profile.

Personally I know several successful professional traders and I have on one occasion witnessed six figures turned into eight figures in a little over a year. Scary.
