What's the biggest challenge you guys faced with day trading? Mine was with my mindset, I used to struggle with my mindset and with FOMO but the good thing now is that I had been doing better and now less care about trades.
For me, working full-time while also day trading. The obvious question I know is gonna be why not swing trade and my answer is that I don't have the patience to swing trade. Then, my issue became that I wasn't comfortable with the fast-paced nature of day trading. What eventually worked was implementing a set and forget approach where I spot my setup and place the corresponding orders managing the trade without me having to do anything else.
%% Making any where near what I made with US investments; that is/ add up all the weeks+ days+ decades. Yes its possible to make millions/ selling pet rocks or a country music song, market making; but I 'm noting what I've done. Sorry you had such bad experience with investments, ever do any real estate in a good neighbor hood??
Offsetting large cycle moves which are liquidation events, while balancing maximum profits with least effort, never had FOMO which is essentially a lack of confidence in what you are doing.
