It is just that you said that you can bang out 20 - 100 handles in a single
day, but your average for 1998 is 4.3. There must be an offset, if that's
the case.

I think that I shouldn't have said stress - too many other variables to
induce stress. OatTrader I think put his finger on it when he called it
burnout.
I realize that it is a style more than anything. I'm NOT saying that
daytrading isn't possible or that it is less profitable or any such thing.
I am saying that to daytrade, there is a cost that there doesn't seem to be
in position trading - a "health cost" if you will allow it - or maybe a time
cost. You are unaffected, but I think that you must be out of the ordinary.
(You are aren't you? :~).
Then, is the cost worth the extra $$$? Are there extra $$$? Is it MORE
profitable?
