Day trading is the most difficult form of trading and honestly I dont consider even long term one as some easy job. Predicting the upcoming dip or surge itself gives a tough time.
If you deal with the day trading, you will risk much. Now, the market is not stable, and you will never guess the price of the altcoins. I suppose that the long-term trading will give you more benefits.
Day trading is a good way to have a source of income, it really helps those traders to gain more if they are doing day trading, yes for those experts of already have their strategies they can really have a quick profit by doing day trading.
