Calling all day-traders!

On average, how many trades do you place in a day?

On some days, just 1 position - that would be a day where I get a runner.

On other days up to 5 positions - that would be a choppy low range day.

But do any of you make enough money to pay for that Mc Donalds burger deal?

Can you afford to buy a new underwear after paying daytrading spreads and costs is more appropriate.

As much as 10 % of a day trader's cost is commissions.
