I consider successful day/month/week trading when you can post statements showing profits over multiple periods of the chosen time frame.
If you have been trading on demo then, that's a failure. Consider your winners as gambles and your account is due to blow shortly.

but surely say a 50p profit on a £1000 invest wouldn't be considered a great success ?
just playing devils advocate here...
What do you mean by the demo account comment ?

If you consistently make 50p every time that's an enormous success. See if you can make five 50p's in a row before you lose the 1000.
The demo account comment will light up within you soon enough.

Any day where Joe asks for or provides a statement is a good day.

Well mine's a success today and I have a statement to prove it.
Wahooooo get you! This morning I wiped my **** on **** roll that was worth more than your account and before you ask I flushed it so I can't post it up as a statement.

I don't know if this is a successful day or not, but what I am 100% sure is that this is "key for success"

We are talking about success here. No statement means no success. Makes no difference if you have a 20 mill account.

I've noticed that there are not many account statements posted up on this site, hmmmm>>
my idea of a successful day is when the first trade of the day goes well and then i pop my feet up on the desk and wait for another to come along and so on throughout the day
an unsuccessful day is when i loose and then lump one on for the sake of it and so on loose, loose,loose all day
Well mine's a success today and I have a statement to prove it.
Joe, that's your Oanda account, isn't it? You seem to have been working hard! I'm glad that you are happy with it and wish you luck.
I don't think that I could do anything like that, I've done three trades. One winner and two losers.

What are you implying ? That everyone here is too embarrassed to show statements indicating profits of more than a few pence ?

Yes, that's my play account. First thing I did with it was gamble like crazy before finally realising where I was going wrong and things beginning to tick nicely and more predictably under control.
I am still down a couple of euros overall, but those will be recovered soon enough on a nice trend ride.
