  • Regardless of what markets you are addressing or what securities are being traded - no one can properly respond to your question

    No records are or can be maintained as to what part of the daily volume is done by trades that were done for the day. This is a meaningless number that no one or agency maintains.

    There are too many types of day trades and none of them are or could be calculated for any type of report. When a trade is executed there are no records that indicate the source of the type customer that has executed the trade.

    If any my floor traders, whether they be options, equities or commodities, produced only a 5% percent monthly return, they would be fired.

    Most floor and in-house proprietary traders can a do make more than 5% return a month, while a novice trader trading from home usually loses more than they make

  • Yes 5% is reasonable if you are good, but you must be good, and to be good you need the right tools (tools are important). Most of these people don't realize the billionaire traders like Warren Buffet make 80%, 90%, 100%+ a year. The thing is most of the good day traders work for multi-million dollar corporations and only receive a small percentage of the money they make the company. Also remember you have to have a minimum of 25k to do day trading. So, I wouldn't start with less than 50k. And the Guy that said something about 1million become 121billion has his math way wrong, unless he calculated reinvesting 100% of your profit every single month (and I'm still not sure he'd be right, I haven't done the math) which nobody does and would land you in jail for tax evasion way before 20 years was up.

    If you do what a lot of individual day traders do and keep the same starting bankroll each month making your profit your paycheck: in 20 years with a 1 million bank roll you will have made 12 million before taxes and living expenses at 5% a month average.

  • @John has this correct.

    There are no documented examples of sustained returns of 5% monthly.

    None. Not floor traders. Not options traders. On a single month sure, but not sustained over a meaningful time period.

    Starting with just $1 million, such returns would produce over $121 billion in 20 years, which would be the wealthiest person on the planet by quite a bit. Since no such person exists, then clearly no such track record exists.

  • Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.

    Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.

    However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?

    The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.

    It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option

  • I agree in part with "A Nobody's" response.

    There are floor traders (both on the NYSE, & LME) that can and do average over 5% monthly profit. Remember professional traders do not need to nor do they trade every day,

    There are commodity traders that do easily average 5% return, although I do agree that many hold positions longer than a day.

    Bottom line, no one can track what "day traders" make since their trades are not nor can be determined.

  • Here you will find a step by step guide which will hopefully give you a better and deeper insight into how it is possible for you to make money from Binary Options trading https://tr.im/BinaryOptionsStrategies

    You will first need to know what exactly Binary Options trading is, whilst this may seem like common sense many people just have a vague idea of what is involved and the exact risks attached to any trade, so make sure you fully understand the difference for example between actually buying a fixed asset and trading in Binary Options as the two could not be more different.

    Next you will need to become something of an investigative journalist when you start trading in Binary Options and by this we mean you need to have a nose for a news story that is going to have a dramatic effect on whatever it is you intend to trade, and one way for you to do this is to keep fully abreast of all the daily financial news stories as this is the only way you are going to be able to make an informed decision on the movement of any Binary Options you are trading.

    Too many people think of sports betting as just something they do in their past time. However, many people can see the potential that exists if you manage to have the right sports betting strategy and correct approach to betting in general. Are you sick of losing? Interested in finding out how to turn your luck around? Do you want to know which sports betting strategies stand to help you make the most from your betting?

    Any good strategy should allow you to place bets based on a systematic method. Of course there is always a random element or so called luck involved, but betting is all about stacking the odds in your favor. There should be no guess work involved or bets placed based on gut feelings. Betting is a business and it should be treated like one. Any money you use for betting needs to be separate from money you use for your daily life or anything else. How can you possibly expect to follow a strategy with money that was originally set aside to pay next week's rent with? You can't. This will help you to focus on the task of betting and remove any emotional strings attached to the money.

    So what makes a good strategy or what should you look for in a strategy before you decide to implement it? Any good strategy needs to have a positive expectancy. This means that in the long run you will win. The hit rate of the strategy needs to be above 50% for you to be able to profit in the long run. An ideal win rate should be between 60 to 70%, because you will need to cover the fees and other expensive associated with betting. Is it feasible to expect you'll be able to find a system that has a 100% win rate? No, it isn't. The best you can do is find a system that has a positive expectancy and stick with it. In the long run you will make more money than you can possibly lose.

    Keep whatever information and news you have about the teams as up to date as possible. Any changes in the teams makeup or factors that affect how the players play will great affect the potential outcome of a match. Make sure that you are constantly up to date on every aspect that affects the potential outcome of a match. Information is the key to winning at sports betting.

  • Successful retail day traders average 20% a year (this figure does not include anyone averaging less that 5% a year). That would mean of the 5% or less that make money consistently in Day Trading, an average of 1.6% a month is very good.

    5% a month is equal to 60% a year. You could surely make 60% in a year (very unlikely)... but not year over year. You'd be in a very small group totaling less than one handful of traders in the entire world.

    Read some books. 6-12 would be the right start.
