Barb,

That fact that you have out-performed the market in your trading
account is great, however, it does not conflict with StaggerLee's
assertion that most short-term traders underperform the market.
Also, how long have you been short-term trading? Have you made
consistent gains for 3 or more years?

If more than a tiny percentage of traders were able to outperform
the market consistently then everyone would join the gravy-train.
In my experience it is very hard to make a buck day-trading.
If you have a talent for it consider yourself one of the few,
it most certainly is not easy.

Terence

BTW What is your strategy (if you have one)? Do you think LevelII quotes give you a big advantage?
