I do use boligo band and relatively strength index  trading tools to analyze the state of the market during my trading of forex and commodities. In day trading one has to be very fast and caculative if you actually want to make it. Most time you will need to always be on alert if not you will lose a lot of trading opportunities. If you are good in spotting pattern using candlesticks you can also apply the same knowledge you have from long-term trading to day trading.
