Favorite Patterns

Tim, like any good trader, adapts to the markets as they develop.

In his earlier days, Grittani rode OTC pumps to the moon. These days, he looks more for OTC breakouts, low float listed breakouts, and short-sell opportunities.

Timeline

  • 2013 – Tim made his way up to the $100,000 mark; by the end of the year, he was at $1 million
  • 2014 – Grittani was doing well during this time, but not as well as he’d hoped … He suffered his infamous $290,000 loss because he wasn’t cutting losses
  • 2015 – Tim releases “Trading Tickers” DVD
  • 2017 – Near the end of the year, Tim crossed the $5 million mark
  • 2020 – Grittani breaks $10 million!

The available research on day trading suggests that most active traders lose money. Fees and overtrading are major contributors to these losses.

A 2000 study called “Trading is Hazardous to Your Wealth: The Common Stock Investment Performance of Individual Investors” evaluated 66,465 U.S. households that held stocks from 1991 to 1996. The households that traded most averaged an 11.4% annual return during a period where the overall market gained 17.9%. These lower returns were attributed to overconfidence.

A 2014 paper (revised 2019) titled “Learning Fast or Slow?” analyzed the complete transaction history of the Taiwan Stock Exchange between 1992 and 2006. It looked at the ongoing performance of day traders in this sample, and found that 97% of day traders can expect to lose money from trading, and more than 90% of all day trading volume can be traced to investors who predictably lose money. Additionally, it tied the behavior of gamblers and drivers who get more speeding tickets to overtrading, and cited studies showing that legalized gambling has an inverse effect on trading volume.

A 2019 research study (revised 2020) called “Day Trading for a Living?” observed 19,646 Brazilian futures contract traders who started day trading from 2013 to 2015, and recorded two years of their trading activity. The study authors found that 97% of traders with more than 300 days actively trading lost money, and only 1.1% earned more than the Brazilian minimum wage ($16 USD per day). They hypothesized that the greater returns shown in previous studies did not differentiate between frequent day traders and those who traded rarely, and that more frequent trading activity decreases the chance of profitability.

These studies show the wide variance of the available data on day trading profitability. One thing that seems clear from the research is that most day traders lose money .
