how risky is day trading?

[Emperor of Man]

It's very risky.

And the biggest risk with day trading is a trader's emotion, which everybody claims to have under control, but nobody can really control them!

Specially margin trading is extremely dangerous, because it has the potential to get you liquidated and completely rekt! I learned to stay away from it...

Day trading is as risky as playing gambling!

Thing about day trading is that it's not that hard to make little profits here and there. For example, you can see prices rising and dropping repeatedly on a trade chart, and you can follow that.

Problem is that by doing so, you could miss a huge opportunity if a coin rises a lot in price. Essentially, you would be waiting for a dip that never comes.

Due to the high volatility in the price of bitcoin, this has made the price of bitcoin to be very unpredictable. As a result, day trading at the moment is very risky to venture into.
Critical examination of the price of bitcoin reveals that the price of bitcoin rises and falls so frequently that it does it even within hours of the day.

Forget about the risk, the stress level is so much. You buy something, then that worry about the price just minutes later, is it going up, or down. The annoyance when it's going down. The annoyance of not knowing if one should sell.

Emotion is a great factor why we do lost up money specially on day trading because it do really involve critical analysis and mind boggling decisions into a certain scenario regarding on moving prices.If your cant comprehend on what you are facing specially on decreasing prices then most of the time you will surely lose up money and even going to rage which would even more worsen the situation.
