I wanted to attend for extra moral classes for day trading but the instructor who happened to be my friend told me that I should not go for full time trading but I can only trade once a while to have fun because trading can make someone to lose enough funds so I left trading for investment but only trade to have fun.
Yes we all agree that the both are for profit making buy investment is much more better than trading because in trading you can lose your money just a few seconds but you can lose your investment in few seconds but hours or days and even at that, you won't lose them if your are for long term investor. Therefore I like investment to trading.
Trading is not that easy, and a lot of people are losing money in trading due to how difficult it is to deal with. Trading is really risky, but I believe that with proper knowledge, one can make reasonable profits. The reason why many people are discouraged about trading is that they do not search for proper knowledge before they start. Many people are always very lazy to continue working towards acquiring knowledge as they start trading. Once they start losing money, they think it is all about luck and take it as gambling, but it is not fully about gambling. Trading seriously relies on good knowledge. And again, why would you waste your time and money trading for fun? It's better not to involve yourself if you're not serious about it.
Day trading will certainly always monitor the market and this of course can drain energy from the mind, if not able to do it better long term will be better.
The truth is that people always have their own way of trading, sometimes when they see a daily opportunity they can do it.
When someone is a daily trader, they don't always have any other side hustle apart from trading because daily trading really needs more than enough time to focus on it. As for me, I don't really like daily trading because of that time consumption, but as you said, every trader has their own way and knows the type of trading that will give them the profits they need.
