My friend just quote this one. I think he is right
Day trading is like having sex.
''Get in and out as much and as fast as possible to get satisfied maximally.''
I think this exactly explains day trading. I am a day trader myself. I rather get in and out of the market 50-100 times a day and take small profits with smaller amounts of my balance than trying to chase a couple percent in 1 trade.
Letterally that's can be compare but emotionally has have a big difference and Personally I can compare this kind of business into a gambling game which you can earn more money while enjoying the situation and a chance of getting an addiction of it which resulting of your losing.
Agree with your point which i do have the same insights where it is rather comparable to gambling rather into sex.When we do talk about on how to go in and go out on specific market condition
then it might be considerable but overall it is totally irrelevant.
As a trader it would depend on your preference and skills on how much you would able to profit on a single trade or active trade within a day.
