      After 15 years in the market (mostly investing, a lot of swing trading, couple of years of day trading) i concur that day trading is not worth it, not worth the time/energy/stress. Yes I have a profitable day trading strategy, but considering losses that take a lot of the profits, it makes it not worth it vs buy and hold and swing trading!

    Well said. Critical thinking is unfortunately not a skill most people have, and they factor out the possibility that they either lack the patience or are just not good at something - and are quick to assign blame elsewhere. On top of it, people go into endeavors with entitlement and believe success should come easily. I think this video is much needed.

    Day trading is mostly statistics and some probability theory. There is this concept called the efficient market hypothesis, which states that basically the price is always right, one can't buy or sell in the same day, but that is not true. There are some anomalies in the data. For instance one big investment fund selling 10.000 shares of Tesla will make the market move, opposed to a retail trader with his 100 shares of Tesla. There are some subtle differences that can be explored. It takes work.

      99.999% of day traders (including this channel) are not smart or sophisticated enough to use any sort of prob, stat, or modeling to day trade.
      It likely doesn't make sense for a retail trader to do anyway since granular and useful data that you can actually extracy any reasonable signal from is expensive and probably requires a lot of massaging and analysis to extract any reasonable information from the noise.
      I say this as someone who worked at an actual quantitative trading firm. The people I work with who are in this industry are graduates from top math/physics/CS PhD programs or are incredibly smart people from MIT, Harvard, Princeton, etc. Hate to say it but most youtuber traders don't hold a candle to the people I've worked with, so i basically discount all these guys opinions.

    When some people (usually men) don't progress in trading, they start saying things like, "Trading is a scam.". Because their ego won't allow them to look in the mirror and say, "Maybe the problem is me. Maybe I'm just not yet as good at trading as I think I am.", which is one of the countless reasons why so many traders fail and I know this because I used to tell myself the same thing. Then I got rid of the notion that "I should be further along in my trading journey" and I started to progress a lot quicker until it become obvious to me that it wasn't a scam because I stopped losing money. 😂

    Personally, I'm doing pretty well daytrading. However, there is something I don't understand. I don't trade ODTE options, but when I watch people trade them online, Im noticing something that doesnt make sense AT ALL. I notice a lot of people on TH-cam will buy 10-20 contracts of a stock like SPY or QQQ, the stock moves about .75 percent, and then they say they made between $750-$1,500 dollars. The problem is, each contract cost between $100 - $120 dollars a piece, so they wouldn't even BREAK EVEN until the stock moved at least 1 - 2 percent. How are these people making money if they haven't even reached the breakeven point yet?

      @LG-tw5vm 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @dedicatedserver8214 If an individual daytrading bought 10 contracts for $120 dollars each, it would cost him $1,200 dollars up front. Now, let's just say he's trading QQQ, and QQQ has to go from 430 - 431.75 to break even. He buys in at 430, and the market hits a top at 431. He cashes out at 431 and claims he made $750 dollars. 10 contracts x $75 dollars = $750 dollars. He's still down $450 dollars from his initial purchase of the contracts. So far, he's having a losing day but is claiming to be up $750 dollars! Do you see the problem here?

      I’m assuming you don’t day trade options. Being a buyer of 0DTE options is a horrible idea first of all, but for the people that hit the lotto (which is not repeatable long term), they are likely just profiting from the change in premium. The break even price only applies if you are exercising an option (which most of the time doesn’t make sense, but it has its place).

Kudos to you for sharing content on this topic, I hate talking about my trading outside of a few select individuals, it's just too many questions and misguided ideas - which makes sense because no one knows what they don't know until someone teaches them better. You managed to dissect a big part of that misinformation and correct where some people's arguments fall flat. And to anyone reading this, in trading, no one ever 'arrives'. You can be profitable or not, or profitable for 1 year, 2 years, 10 years. But vigilance is ALWAYS a must, as pride comes before a fall. Always be watching!

    I've been doing it for half a year. I have built up and lost my portfolio 4 times over already. However, everytime I lose money, it's less each time. It always occurs at trend reversals. I'm slow to adapt and lose money. Apart from this, my strategy while a market has a direction, is very consistent and profitable. I'm working on spotting reversals soon enough and not get hit by it. Once I figure it, it will greatly expand on my success.
    That's how it is. Trial and error. Don't use your life savings when you are doing trading. Especially not for the first few years.

    Dan I think you hit it right square. Learning to day trade has been the single hardest thing I have done in my life. I am a multiple time Ironman which was extremely difficult to do but is much easier than learning to trade profitably. There is no magic bullet to it and no single method of trading and you cannot learn what you need to succeed from one single person. You very eloquently pointed out the key. Participation and endurance. You can't become a trader if you think it is "Too Hard". Your mindset has to be, I can do this. You must get up more times than you fall. That is how you become successful. I have a number of sayings and quotes. Here's one: " The market will definitely test your resolve and it will break you if you let it. Don't let it..."

    Mindset is crucial, when I decide to day-trade or scalp I have to be right many times and my tolerance and patience to let the trade play out is compromised. When I have the mindset to build a position over time and swing trade or “position” trade, especially a stock I’m already familiar with and usually pays a dividend, I’m around a 75% win rate. It’s much easier for me to preserve my capital and also let winners run. It’s possible to be profitable, but big stakes day trading can be a fools errand indeed.

      My rough est. net is $100,000. It would be silly to try and extrapolate an hourly wage from it because for most traders, the first four years are going to be lots of learning and losses. With any skill I learn, I am not concerned with some type of hourly return, rather, I am considering future potential to determine if the up-front effort is worth it.

    @Cactuspractice12 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Probably missed the reply time-window from Daniel, but id be curious to know what role he sees personality playing in being good at trading. Ive heard people talk about needing to have 'nerve' and was wondering whether that translates into being stimulated by taking risks, like if you are 'risk averse' might you not have the grit neccessary for it? maybe being risk averse is a good thing if tempered by some other character trait..any thoughts Daniel?

    • @InkheartKnox
      @InkheartKnox 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As you missed the window, I'll answer roughly from Mark Douglas's trading in the zone book. We hear of pro traders needing some nerves of steel. This would imply an internal battle, if this were true they would be unable to flow with the market and make choices objectively without emotion. The answer is risk less than your tolerance, have an exit strategy so your emptions aren't able to dictate results. I for example use a warning sign of volume increase against my position, I then go on smaller TF and work my way up looking for signals that the move is over. And confirming with a break of market structure. It should be comfortable, positive but apathetic to results as we know the market does anything anytime. It is not personal.
      I'd say traits you do need is lack of ego, ability to self reflect, read books like the one I mentioned. You should exercise, have a quiet non intrusive environment, not look at forums etc and be swayed from your personal opinion and growth. So personality I'd say its really a full package, a consistent person, with a winners mindset who is able to flow with the market and able to trust their gut not enthusiasm. There's a fine line between confidence and wilful ignorance, that change alone in last week has gone from -2% last week being a ****, re read that chapter and I'm up 4.5% in 2 days. 2.5% IN 2 hrs this morning just feeling confident to follow the market. I could have got more but I have max day profit and that me done cementing good change in my mind.
      You really have to want to push yourself to be your best version and look at yourself in the mirror every moment and also take care of all emotional and physical influences outside of trading.
      Highly emotional people, or those with internal struggles with themselves, or with pre conceived ideas will fail. Also why you see so many drawn to scalping, high risk high reward. I'd say those naturally drawn to swing trading as are less 'engaged' from the offset tend to have success rates, but also slower returns.
      Risk averse people will naturally be drawn to smaller returns, longer time frames, likely higher success rate. Mismanaged this could end in being gun-shy so to speak and/or constantly closing trades early for fear of bigger loss only to see the trade play out. Every out of balance with trading in terms of mindset is a double edged sword. This is the beauty of its mastery, its about a personal journey as much as money.

    If someone were to buy a futures position at a time where the price is unusually low, thinking the price will rise, but the price drops further, is there a reason why someone can't hold onto the position for a few days/weeks, because the price is probally going to rise above your buy price at some point. I'm just a beginner though.

    Nothing at the financial markets is easy or for free. The demands on your own discipline and mentality are immense.

That explains a lot at the beginning, without burning money.

    IMHO as a 23 year old with a little bit of trading success going on part time on and off for about 3 years now, the 99% stat line is BS to be more realistic the VAST majority of people will fail day trading. Not even to mention you have to have a career that can supplement your trading as well as your living expenses. Many people work 9-5s so they don't even have the time to day trade or they have families to take care of financially. Trading is also pretty difficult and it will really test your mental and emotional strength which is a big reason people fail. The taxes are also pretty high on us day traders as well. So if you overcome all those things id say go for it, work your way up and attempt to be a full time trader but id say just don't quit your day job.

    Question: How are your profits taxed when you day trade?
    I feel that this is something not a lot of people talk about when it comes to trading. Often what is shown are the "massive" amounts of money you can bring in but never how much of it you actually get. Sure I can make 10K out of a trade or maybe just $500 but what do I really have at the end of the day. This would be insightful thank you!
