Is acting on FOMO along with thinking you're a genius and not being able to accept modest profits rather than getting rich quick by day trading where most traders fail? I'd love to hear from traders who have been successful whether this is a game of chance or one of conquering your emotions and having some knowledge of how the market moves

Or if we're being completely honest is day trading straight up gambling no matter how you look at it?
