In my understanding, if we compare long term trading to be as easy as driving a car, day trading will probably be as easy as flying a space ship to the moon!


You need a bit of capital (to get over commissions) & a bit of balls & a lot of alcohol :)


I researched the idea, not recommended to amateurs (less than few years trading experience) otherwise you'll be wasting your time & money.


I bought "trading for a living" by Alexander Elder, it was a good read but for an amateur like me, I felt more comfortable doing short - medium term trading (few days to weeks), also book clearly mentioned that you have to learn how to walk before starting to run!


In short - medium term investments & with a lot of research on your potential companies you tend to understand more about your potential investment & using few indicators you can hopefully get in at the right price.


I'm still a newbie (2 years experience), so I could be wrong!
