I day traded options for about 2 years full time. There was weeks I was up 20k. Weeks down 70k. Constant stress and gradual losses. Margin calls daily, experienced Incredible market manipulation and deceipt. Ended up walking away with a 258k capital loss. The learning lesson was very costly. There is very very very few people that ever make money in this game. It is a game and there is no reason , hence why almost all lose. You'll have better luck at the card table as there is no manipulation and trickery as the stock market. But as humans we are all drawn to the quick easy buck which is why the stock market was created, Where all ponds in this game and the bankers and fund managers reep the rewards of our greed.
