Forex certainly isn't all day traders but it's a good sampling to look at this question. Randy m sampling shows that probably something between 60-98% of daytraders lose money in the long run. In probably the best analysis, only 2% of daytraders make money over a long time frame.

So does anyone know how he actually trades?
Is he a daytrader?
Is he a position/swing trader?

How often does he take trades?
How long does he keep his trades open?
Does he close all trades daily?
Or does he double down on losing trades?
Or keep tight stops?

How much of his portfolio does he put in each trade?
5%? 10%?
Would he go all in when he sees a golden opportunity?

What type of trading does he do?
Breakouts? Buying crashes?

What market does he trade in?
Penny stocks? Forex?

There was some error in the stock exchange and he bought a shitload of stock for pennies on the dollar. He made a fat stack off of that alone and used that to compound his gains. If not for that lucky trade/error, he wouldn't have nearly as much.
