How would you make money ?

Further, he has a greater monetary base to do it from than Abramelin will have.  When you have a bigger pot, you can withstand the ups and downs of bad calls much more easily than when you have only $50,000 to do it from.

The banned member who started the thread '50 000 us $' is someone else,not me;and I don't own dollars,I only have euros.Actually,investing 50,000 euros or 500,000 euros is not the point of my thread.
I just ask how to invest,not how much.
I don't understand why someone who day trade,let's say as an example,500,000 euros,can withstand the ups and downs much more easily than someone who day trade 50,000 euros.Losing 1,2 or 3 % of 500,000 euros is as bad as losing 1,2 or 3 % of 50,000 euros;it's just a matter of proportions,really.

But I would like to emphasize that he is well connected (as in knowing many other day traders, frequenting their chat rooms, etc. He has been doing this a long time, so he knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff - kinda like participating here. If PatrickA posts about a game mechanic and adeyke does too, we know which to believe, eh?).

There is no need to be a genius to make money by 'day trading' or only trading.As for chat rooms,I know some.
I agree that the more experienced,the better.Still,there are good traders who can lose a lot of money;The Barings went bankrupt because Nick Leeson lost billions pounds.

Lastly, this is his 'job'. He spends from 6 to 8 hours a day on it to be able to get the results he does.

There is no need to spend that amount of time/day on it.Day traders can buy/sell a dozen times a day,or just once,it's just a matter of opportunities.There is a possibilty to buy and sell on the internet while having a real life job.Buying just once in the morning and selling in the afternoon can be enough to make money.

My point is that, while it is possible to make decent money doing this, the circumstances described by Abramelin do not fit the description of the only person I know who has managed it.

Your friend hasn't told you about his failures,because I am sure he lost money too.Ask him about his losses.
Sure,I don't fit the description of your friend,at least for experience.However,asserting that without a lot of experience and without billions $,it is impossible to make money,is untruth.
