When I started to "day" trade I made myself content with being able to make a hundred dollars on a trade, I did that for about two years, I also never traded without sitting at the computer screen -- just watching, I stayed up into the early hours of the morning doing research, I only traded on those days when I only was able to do that, watch the movement
Later on when I could make real money I was besieged by "friends" wanting tips as I could do it "so easily" They didn't ask my wife what she did while I was buried in my office for 8 to 12 hours a day
Day trading is like every other job, to be successful you have to work at it, then you are right some of the time.
