David:

You are exactly right. The 10% with the talent at daytrading will succeed.

My intended point is that trading abilities such as "talent" are best identified in hindsight. ==> Those who succeed must have had it, those whom are now broke, clearly didn't! Unfortuneately, by then it is too late.

This brings us to an excellent question: How should the new up-and-coming daytrader determine whether they've got what it takes to succeed in daytrading (without risking serious money to find out)?

My suggestion... He or she should spend a very disciplined period of time backtesting and/or papertrading to assess their ability and/or validity of their 'method'. Comments? Other ideas?

Good Luck,
-Eric
