short trading is always better when the market is fluctuating because the prices may drop suddenly it will lead to losing huge amount of money. Day trading will be much beneficial to those people who have a huge amount of money because they will easily manipulate the market and makes them a huge amount of money.
With the possibility of losing huge amount, how it will be possible for short trading to be always better? You're literally contradicting yourself.
Day trading may be beneficial for the people who are able to ride on market fluctuations. It means you will not need to have huge amount of money but you must have skills to ride on the swings of market. I believe no trader might be having all the required skills to accurately predicting all the swings of a market. At the same time, if you do not have enough skills to ride on swing, your big capital may not help you while day trading. Yes, you may get stuck in negative market directions and might need to wait until market turns.
