It's no secret that the financial market trading arena has gone through a few major shifts over the past couple of decades...

And with the advent of high-frequency computer algorithms, many old-school professional traders have been pushed out of the markets.

Even really smart guys like James Altucher shut down their hedge funds after the markets changed in 2008.

Yet, there still seems to be thousands of people looking to make a career out of full-time day trading.

So, is it still possible or is it another career pushed out of human hands into the control of automation?
