I'd estimate that 95-97% do. The ones that make a living from it have plenty of capital to burn through, very good brokers / contacts in the industry, and are very selective about which technology and market data to use.

I would also imagine many among the remaining 3-5% are trading on some sort of insider information. :)

This is a message for Zeke. Unfortunately the system won't let me send a PM to you...
