This depends on your available time. If you have so much time and you can spend those available time in monitoring and analyzing charts and trends then Day Trade is good for you. HOLD also requires analyzing charts and trends, but since you are more on holding for a longer period of time it doesn't require you to check and analyze every hour or every other hour.
I am more inclined to choose day trading, this is because I think that day trading will be much safer. Even though we will only get a smaller profit opportunity, but it will be far better than when we have to wait for a long time with no certainty to get a profit. So each strategy must have its advantages and disadvantages. Whatever we choose must be in accordance with the capabilities we have and it is true that you think that everyone who has more free time then choosing a day trade will be much better.
