I agree day trading was easier in the pre-taxes time. However, I still think I have made millions of day trading and I have only been playing for a season and a half now, so it can still be done.
Millions????? I cant see any evidence of this on your transfer history - a couple of 100k guys turned around for 200k - (i assume you get 80-85% of the 100k profit?)
Either way its a tough racket for the reasons mentioned before. I try now to make 5-6 trades a season that can net $300-500k without any training and if they dont work out then I'll try add some skills to them and then make them more profitable as the % sell on goes up and if they have 3-4 skill-ups then thats knocking on for $2mil + a season you can generate and include in your overall financial bottom line.
