I've been trading on a consistant basis for over two and a half years. I'm trading from an income producing standpoint, rather than an investor (while I work full time). Typically, I have a day traders mentality. I've traded in all markets, Futures (commodities & Indexes), Stocks and Forex, but haven't spent too much time trading Options. My first experience in trading was in Stocks, on a swing trade basis, then had the desire to Day Trade, moving over to Forex and Futures, due to the ability to leverage higher, whether that's a smart idea or not. I traded in currencies for a long period of time, moved over to Futures and now trade between the two of them regularly.
