"For example, assume a good trader is able to achieve annual returns of 100% on his/her $100k account. After only two or three years, the trader now has $400-800k in his account to manage"

Do you think he might spend some of the money? Computers,programs, commissions, feeds, etc. besides his personal expenses. Wouldn't you guess that only about 1% can turn 100% a year? if you don't, I bet you play the lottery.

100% a year is certainly possible to a very small percent of position traders but I would like to hear how a "day"trader can do it. $392.16 a day, 255 trading days a year. Not much room for losses. it doesn't seem real, does it.
