As a matter of fact, I don't do day trading. Not yet at least.Jon,
If you were serious with that question, you should NOT be in the market!!
You can plant your money in a CD or a Treasury while you read up on trading. You can invest...Buy and hold quality stocks if you wish.
It would take hours to explain how market makers and dark pools work. But, if you were serious...STOP DAY TRADING!!
It involves as little as a single rogue trader secretly conspiring with peers at other firms over an encrypted channel like WhatsApp or ProtonMail to manipulate interest rates, or energy prices, or one of the many other trading markets.

Good food for thought items. GraciasExcept the part .... about whether or not it is good for longs?
Of course again context matters.
Bids being taken out somewhat near support, nah.
After, you betcha.
But which longs? Scalpers, intra day folks, swing, long term?
