What sum of money do YOU day trade with? and how much profit do you expect to earn?
It would be interesting to know how much gains (if any), different traders make on a daily or weekly basis and what sort of capital they invest to try and profit.
Looking at many of of the exchanges, you see many alt coins going up by two digit gains so I would assume capital investment of between £1/5k on some of the ascending coins would bring back a decent return?
Setting a target profit per day is I think a mistake, trading by definition is going to give to you a variable income, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down, however a profit of 1% is great if you are able to manage to pull that off, for many that is too low but that is a lot more than what you can earn in forex and in many other markets.
