I tried daytrading back in the day. At first I was making good profit, then with just a few bad trades I broke even, and sort of ended up wasting a whole day on trading. Never again. It's really just not for me, so I end up doing semi-long term trading instead(weekly trades).
If you like staring at charts all day and go crazy, then day trading might be for you.
Well trading is just a matter of needs, if you feel in need of money they trade it shorterly but if you can hold it for long it will be better like others do.
For me I'd prefer to have monthly trading so i can decide for the right to do.
