Day Trading to Multimillionairedom

You can day trade or swing trade when SPY only goes up and the Fed will not stop operation BRRRRR
Doesn't really matter what you do as long as you press buy

This guy naively believes that profitable trading is all about time frames.

So if you use a 5 or 15-min (as a daytrader) you will automatically lose in the long run. (?!?)

On the other hand, according to his "logic", if you use the 4h, daily, weekly or monthly time frames, you will automatically make money in the long run, because now you are swing and position trading.

Total nonsense.

In reality, if you ask 100 random traders to make 1 000 day-trades, swing trades and position trades, the 1 000 position trades won't be any more profitable than the 1 000 day-trades, assuming the same capital is used in all cases.
 
If you have a contrary view, feel free to post your day-trading PNL for the last 3 years. You're welcome.

You nailed it, there will be deluded bullshiters on this thread claiming to be profitable day traders. But none can show any real proof, because they dont have any.

It's not that day trading for a living is all that difficult, the difficulty lies in the substantial work both technically and personally required to become proficient in a demanding profession. ..... is we didn't quit.

14 years before I am profitable. Fortunately through that time I broke even after comms.
OP should just admit, it is either too much work, would take too long or beyond their ability. If you cannot consider that is the most probable description, you should not try because it will be beyond your ability.

Easy money is a myth. Day Trading is hard work to get consistent and profitable.
 
Whether someone is a daytrader / swing trader or how you recognize someone as a daytrader is irrelevant. Day trader or not, objective is to earn money.
While unfortunate exceptions do happen, in covid mkt if you can't make money, trading is not for that person. But asking pnl for believing someone is unwarranted.(in my humble opinion). You should be able to get a superficial understanding about any one from their replies.
A good trader admits his mistake and probably will not repeat atleast knowingly.
 
2. About you not showing your PNL.....yeah.....that's what I thought. People always know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody. Mostly, they can't name them and have never verified their records to ascertain.

Why the hell would you verify anything unless you're selling something? So you spend time and money to impress someone online who won't likely accept the evidence anyway. For a successful daytrader, this is completely irrational.
Yeah, most of my money was made daytrading.

Who would be motivated to show financial statements to anonymous dopes on the internet? SMH There has been a steady stream of these loser threads through the years. What they believe is irrelevant, nobody should care.

The only reason to reply is to counter some of the negativity foisted on beginners and journeymen. I don’t encourage people to get into day trading as I know how difficult it is to master but I don’t discourage anyone who has the drive, determination and work ethic. Just understand that it will likely take longer and be more difficult than anticipated.
 
What comes to your mind when someone tells you that he/she is a day-trader? I immediately know that I am dealing with a clueless amateur, no offence.

Brokers love pushing the day-trading narrative to retail traders. Their goal is to transfer the money from the trader's pockets to their pocket. It is in their best interest for you to trade as often as possible, in the largest size possible. It amazes me how "elite traders" in this forum still fall for that narrative.

Very few people can actually profit long-term from day-trading net of fees. In fact, the number is so small that it is generally advisable never to day-trade. You will never meet a successful day-trader. Most trading legends with verified track records were swing and position traders.

I know that some of you have high hopes of striking it big with day-trading, so you better take my advice very seriously because it will save you time and lots of money.

DAY TRADING IS FOR DUMB MONEY
