It’s not comparable, but also Simons would agree; he backtested models with years of data, you can consider that long-term

he had a pool of strategies, not only “day-trading” I would assume he had a portfolio of strategies in different timeframes; from high-frequency to swing. Of course there are traders making a living trading a single asset manually, if they backtested their strategy and stick to the rules it could work, but even in that case; they check higher timeframes to get a bigger picture of the market, maybe they are not wired to open a trade that last 2+ days or few weeks.

No one's interviewing you about it bud

the criteria for trading is not just making money in a day it's make money every day for long term those day traders do not make money long-term day traders also day trading out of bad habit bad emotion (greed)

@@RonCadillac They are interviewing SMB Capital 7 and 8 figure traders and more than a dozen. Larry's not finding the break out stocks. Watch all the interviews on The Humbled Trader. All 8 figure traders. They are not trading SPX. This isn't a controversial subject. It's either objectively true or not. He puts up a chart of a flat chart that none of the big traders are trading. Tom Hougaard another 8 figure trader. Trade's live. No go look at Larry's projection for 2023 that he sold customers and the one that he posted after the act. I have his reports. You obviously haven't researched the subject for yourself nor been following Larry's recent track record nor the controversy that followed him in the '70's where he traded two accounts during the Robbins cup and was exposed for it. It's public record for any motivated individual that looks it up.
