Is day trading worth it?

i just read a conversation on another forum where someone says thaey use a ''10 second tick chart'' Is this a real thing?
a 10 second chart makes a new bar every 10 seconds, and a 10 tick chart does so every time 10 trades has taken place.
What's a 10 second tick chart, though?>

might be a single tick chart 10 second long ? lol i don't know
 
Funny, I use to think the same thing about ES daytraders.

until I met a few guys trading 100lots and grabbing ticks with $MM accounts.


When was this?

It was possible once. HFT is even struggling to do this profitbly now. No way are DIY day traders still doing this consistently.
