Well, I don't make a fortune from it, but after losing a fair amount of money day trading, I wrote an iOS app where people can practice their day trading. The income from it has covered my losses from trading. So, yeah I can say I make some thing from day trading!

Do you see what the parent's point is? You may not be one of the people making money directly from day trading itself, but you are an outlier, in that you used your experience to create a product. Which is something that only you did.

I do think its a smart idea though. My comment was directed more at the appropriateness of the parents' observation.
