$310 * 5 days a week * 52 weeks a year = $80,600

110k pre tax in the USA is 80k post tax per year-- it is often helpful for us to think in terms of both numbers when comparing money making methods. That's my guess at least.
Probably more that they didn't account for weekends, $310 x 365 is $113k
They are also trading on a small account most likely. If you have $500k to trade with making $300 a day is much easier.
Yeah you’re right, I just multiplied by 7 days. Then again you don’t work 5 days every single week (depends of the location) but 80k is definitely closer to the actual figure.
