I just want to hear from serious investors what they think about day trading. I think that it is a bad idea? What are your thoughts? No I don’t want to visit any websites to make money for all of the bots that seem to rule this section.
I do think it is a bad idea, but I was wondering what other people thought.

It is a good way to make a small fortune — if you start with a large one.

Very few people make money day trading over a period of time. Please do not risk your money in that fashion.
Only you can decide if it’s for you.
You must have a plan as to how to proceed.
Nothing wrong with paper trading a market to see how you might do.
Keep records of exactly when you are taking a position. Get out of losing positions.
You can even get paper trading accounts online.
Pick a market and try to get to know it in detail. If it’s the stock market you’re interested in, pick a few hi beta stocks and try to learn their patterns.
If you have to ask others about this subject, it is probably NOT right for you.
If you’re American and you’re using the stock market, you must put up 25 K to be a day trader. If you use the futures market and want to trade, say, the ES, then the amt in your acct can be much lower.
But do get an education before you trade for real. You have plenty of time to get rich. Most day traders lose money. You must work hard to be successful at this.
Understand the stock market is in a bear market. Short positions are probably the way to go, and shorting is against the grain of many people. Plus the SEC might be on the verge of cracking down on short selling. You must keep up with current events to see what restrictions the gov might impose.
The investment value of the security.
