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.
Hahahaha, your post makes me laugh so hard because trading is just like that. Now i'm betting for the long term trading, let's see if this bring some nice profit for the future. But i want to play the short too, as you say is to make a small profit, but with this, the snowball could grow fast.
It's putting a naughtier perspective to it dude but it does make sense lol. Though i don't think everybody will be able to have satisfaction with that since not everyone can read the market as efficiently as others. Though if you can trade with little profits several times each day then that's good for you.
