This is for people here who have $25,000+ and trade for a living. What kind of returns do you get and what amount of capital would you say in necessary based on avg returns for someone to survive by trading for a living?

$100,000 at 30% return is livable income, you won't be living rich but you can survive, although those type of returns consistently are not likely.

30% is pretty doable, you only need to average 1-2% gain on a trade every few weeks.

So if you are one of the ones doing that can you please comment on how much you trade (approx.) with, how much you started with, and just briefly about your strategies:

1. Positions in FX?
2. Lot of options?
3. Futures at all?
4. Little bit of everything?

Please comment thanks
