Both day trading and long term have the same objective to make profits. But those who want to make quick profits usually they do day trading, while those who want to wait for a long time do the usual long-term planning. However, although the objective of the investors here is the same, the strategies are different. Generally, in order to profit in day trading, an investor needs to use the market volatility every day to profit from it. Even if there is a cash supply in day trading, it is risky. Here an investor has to be experienced enough otherwise he will lose there.
If you talk about profits, you will surely make from the both short term trading and long term trading, but the profits will not going to be equal because long term trading used to bring huge amount of profits than short term trading, which I have experienced that from both.
Despite what is happening in the market, long term traders will not be shaking because they know that the more you continue hodling, the more you begin to see the opportunity that will make them profit massively in the market.
Day trading required steady attention, if you want to be achieving profits from market daily because market price can change at anytime for you to earn from the day trading to prepare for another opportunity.
