Vonasi great reply thank you.

My own personal opinion is that it is easier to trade something like the FTSE 100 index over a few days – the price is just a lot easier to predict even just manually trading.  That is why I am thinking of moving away from day trading stocks.

I believe that to algorithmically day trade stocks is just too high risk as to make consistent profits requires movements of >2% in a day on a share with a sensible risk /reward ratio because the broker fees are just too high.

FX is meant to have greater volatility but I have never ventured in to FX.

Thanks again for a great reply – anybody else on here have any profitable consistent profits success stories?
