I started in crypto without having any idea what Day Trading was. I thought it was just about buying and waiting... until I saw that there were people entering and exiting the market in a matter of minutes, making (or losing) quite a bit.
I started studying and understood that Day Trading is not just luck, it’s analysis, patience, discipline, and a lot of risk management. Now I practice it in short sessions, I review 15-minute or 1-hour candles, I use stop loss no matter what, and I try not to enter if the market is crazy or if I am tired.
The hardest part is not the analysis, it’s self-control. Because when you see something moving strongly, you feel the urge to jump in without thinking. And that’s where many lose.
My golden rule: if I don’t have a clear plan for a trade, I don’t do it. And if I already have a profit, I prefer to secure it rather than wait "a little longer" and end up losing.
It’s not a strategy for everyone, but if you like to stay active and make quick decisions, Day Trading might be your style. Just remember: the market doesn’t forgive impulses.
Do you also do daily trading or do you prefer to let trades run? 🧠📈
