I’ve been diving deep into day trading lately, and I’m torn can you really build a sustainable career from it, or is it just glorified gambling? On one hand, I see traders who swear by their strategies and make consistent profits. On the other, there are horror stories of people blowing up their accounts overnight.
For those who’ve tried it, what’s your take? How do you separate the pros from the gamblers? Are there specific skills or habits that make day trading viable long-term, or is luck a bigger factor than we’d like to admit? Curious to hear your experiences and any hard-earned wisdom you’ve picked up along the way.
