Compradun: I agree with much of what you said about this thread. We should be focusing more on "Trading for a Living" and not "Why Trading for a Living is an Impossible Dream". The reality is that successful daytrading is very difficult for many reasons, but huge profits are feasible for those traders who learn methods to successfully navigate the marketplace. I believe each successful daytrader has developed their own ideas and strategies that are profitable and give them an 'edge' in the market. Without getting into the details of your personal trading strategies, perhaps you could share with the thread some of your experiences that have helped to make you a better trader. Maybe that will help stimulate ideas that others could contribute to make this a more positive and informative thread. I look forward to any contributions you choose to add and hope you will rebookmark this thread! Thanks, -Eric

..."offering that no one can be successful" Hold on, compradun, or whoever you are....no one ever said that no one can be successful at daytrading. Your reading comprehension appears to be as defective as Barb's. I believe there have been plenty of references here in the nature of "90% failures," stuff like that. That's quite a bit different from saying "no one can be successful," don't you think? Rather than you complaining about the posts on this thread and telling us that you're leaving, you could have just left and been done with it. Or, you could have made a constructive post that some people might have found interesting or helpful. Perhaps the thread will benefit from your departure. You know, others have only been expressing their opinion. You could have expressed yours too, but less arrogance and more diplomacy would go a long way. Bill
