I didn't say that you can't make money from trading, I said that you can't make money from day trading in the long run, BTW I'm making very good money and I live from trading thank you for your concern
You can make money in any kind of trading that you are into not withstanding the volatility or any thing else. Day trading doesn't require you to go so long to pick all long profit but what you require is to take out profit as you see them. The problem with day traders is they stay longer in and at the end lose all that they acquire on that trade.
