Day traders always make money regardless of the market movement. Some of them are lucky if they do the market research and understand the market movement before opening the position. Some of the traders will liquidate their position even though they did not want to do so, but it's a crypto market and it is so volatile that the market movement changes so fast.

If a trader opens a position without setting up stop loss and take profit, they end up liquidating their money. But, as I said, the more market movement, the more money they make. I do not do day trade, I became a holder for a while.
