Message: [QUOTE="Tomhgriff1, post: 1838742, member: 85640"] Sorry for the late reply guys, only got an email to say ppl had been replying to my question today. Thanks for all the responses, interesting to see there are a few traders here. Cuttlefish, well done on turning a profit if youre trading part time youre already doing better than a lot of people. OzExorcist. Actually it depends, but most day traders will trade 40/50+ times a day which is actually why i think there is a big similarity between trading and poker. Because most of those trades you are out in a couple of seconds for a small loss or break even (a scratch) because you dont think its any good. Only takes one or two good trades/(hands) and with money management you make your day off that. Dlam i think you are spot on (if i have understood you) in what you say about the infinite factors effecting the market, you know a Full House will always beat a Pair. And that is controlled. In trading what is a good hand one day isnt the next day very often because some outside factor has changed (an interest rate decision, some foolish politician saying something etc). And this is the reason I think poker is something that can be beaten long term if you have the right skills. However with trading it gets harder and harder, technology is squeezing out the need for humans, if a trader that makes ok money today could go back 15 years they would make fortunes. Would you say the same is true for poker? Or does that controlled environment mentioned above a reason why the rate of the games evolution is a little slower? I mean is there room for a gu yto come in and play one table at a time on his own able to make steady money or are all the online poker champs using super computers playing 8 tables at a time etc?
