What it taught me

97% of the people who day traded Brazil’s stock index futures for at least 300 days lost money. A study tracked people who began from 2013 to 2015, and fewer than 1 in 100 of those who lasted earned more than a bank teller’s pay, about $54 a day.

It’s a single data point, not a forecast, and nothing here says I’m exempt: I day trade too with my own algo.
