Day trading and hodl both are profitable if you use them in right way or by using good strategy
Like most people are not able to get profit even in hodl also and same with day trading
But hodl is safe and easy job from day trading
Even if you go for day trading you can but I prefer you to start with small amount first then if you find yourself doing well you can try with more funds
If you wanted to find which is more profitable then it depends on you that how good you are doing something
I use hodl because I found myself very good in it
