액티브 트레이딩, 정말 성공할 수 있을까? 🤔

Asking if trading actually works is like asking if opening a hardware store will work. It depends on many things- Knowledge and experience with hardware, how much capital you have to invest in the idea, a definitive plan as to your costs and what you need to sell to be profitable. It's also important to know who you're competing against. Similar to wanting to trade. Regarding those trying to sell courses- don't waste a penny on them. Trading is a business like any other and you would no more open a business without either experience or being undercapitalized. Trading is lonely, boring, incredibly risky without any guarantees. Be very cautious of snake oil salesman.

There's a saying, "Those that can do, those that can't teach".

Can daytrading be profitable? Yes
Can daytrading be profitable for YOU? The truthful answer is, probably not, but everyone likes to believe they are an outlier.

I would recommend most new traders to learn swing trading, only after you're consistently profitable, have a dabble with daytrading. But let's be honest, most people want the immediate gratification / dopamine hit that day trading provides.

I no longer daytrade - but I'm consistently profitable on my swing trading with far less stress and far less time behind a screen watching charts. I'm happy. If I was to do daytrading again, I'd just look into algo set ups.

the truth is most of us knows will never make in this but before you reach this point take 2.5years actively trading

trading works for the people who treat it like Risk Management rather than picking stocks.

The trained professionals at hedge funds often fail because they are restricted by mandates, quarterly reporting to investors, and massive position sizes.

As a retail trader, your edge isn't being smarter than the algorithm, it's being disciplined enough to wait for the 5% of the time the algorithm leaves a gap you can exploit.
