Thx, very interesting - I would not have expected the vast majority to have that kind of net worth.

But I wonder how this was conducted -- for instance I think the last two brokers I used asked me to specify my net worth in a drop down list on a web application form. Are they using this data I wonder?

I think they're more likely using floor traders... I don't know that many people trading with that type of account size, and I'm very active in the community. I talk to alot of brokers and traders.
Maybe Big Mike can chime in on this....

The report is confusing, it says Networth, which should be your home+car+anything you have... However, in the next 2 lines, it says:

The Staff reviewed a total of 123 trading accounts. The average of the profitable accounts was $177,732, while the average of the unprofitable accounts was $73,756.

Which shows bigger account has a better chance to win..

Plus the report is
February 25, 2000, which is really really OLD.
