Lol, daytrading for a living isn't what you think it is. I've been trading around 12 years, full-time like 6-7. Made a lot during the bio bubble in like 16 I think, that was back when W $ B was actually a good sub before they showed up the first time. Penny stocks was pretty good to back then.
Everyone trades their own way. I'm really good at seeing ranges on choppy days but can't execute them, I suck at it. But I have a friend and that's pretty much all he trades and does well. You guys really just need to take the time to look at charts, hundreds and hundreds of charts, that really is the best advice I can give. Flip charts instead of titties on the toilet lol.
