you’d be hardpressed to find five day traders who make 60-100k/year from age 20 until they retire at age 60. this income is not very difficult to acheive for someone willing to put in the time at any investment firm. speaking as someone who started in a day trading firm, i was the only successful trader within a six month period. out of a class of 16 people, nobody was profitable except me, and i was only making $600/avg/week at my best.
the worst part about day trading is the fact that you can make $3,000 in a week and then lose $3,000 in 3 seconds. it is most demoralizing feeling in the world and not worth it at all.
day trading is dead. write algos and move on.
