Day trading, the activity of buying and selling the same financial asset on the same day, sounds like one of the smartest approaches to investing in stocks. Why bother holding onto an index fund when you can make daily profits? And to make day trading sound even better, there are lots of people on the internet nice enough to teach you how to trade, and make huge easy profits just like them, for a fee, of course.

At 3:14 I say the study sample period was 1995 – 2019. The animation says 1995 – 1999. The animation is correct. Missed that in post.
As a Taiwanese, I'm really shocked with the percentage loss of GDP each year due to trading. Until now, day trading is still the most popular way to invest in Taiwan SMH
You know, I was asked what do I really think about our US 🇺🇸 STOCKMARKET.
My truth is this, it saddens me to know that our Stockmarket is being ran by such simple minded individuals.
Sincerely ,

I have some good news to share with you. Today I followed The Legendary Warren Buffett advice, when it comes to stocks. He has often quoted buy when everyone in the Stockmarket is fearful and Sell when everyone is greedy 🙄
QQQ, SPY, MSFT & TTD
Are now included in my list, which also include AMC ,GME, CLOV and of course my usual AAPL, TSLA, COIN & SPCE
This is why the Stockmarket is down over 900 points and CNBC or anyone else isn't calling it a crash.
Simply put, they are hard at work trying to defeat, the undefeatable and undisputable, yep you gest it 👍

Are still very much under my influence and control as you all can plainly see from their performance.
Now my Brother's and Sisters of all Nationalities, background and color.
I'd like to address some of your concerns expressed to me in the comment sections.
To begin with, many of you fear 😨 red days like today in the Stockmarket because of your miseducation about the stockmarket.
So, first let me try and put you in the right frame of mind about how the Stockmarket really works.
As we all know by now, it's manipulated only a daily basis and that's just a fact.
With that said, understand this, it wouldn't work for them, without you guys as victims. So, stop being victimized and open your mind to new concepts about how the stockmarket really works.
It all starts and stop with a False Narrative being promoted by the many online Trading Educators. They tell what to do and how to do it. After that, manipulating you and the Stockmarket is the easy part for them.
If you really want to win in the Stockmarket, stop being lead to slaughter and re-educate yourself. Start by understanding what I'm expressing to you now.
All successful traders are always on both sides of their trade hedging, in some form or another. So the next time you trade, you might want to consider my setup.
I trade with options and invest with stocks.
My option setup beings with a Delta 0.50 positive and a Delta -0.50 Negative. This puts me on both sides of my trade equally from the very start.
Because the Deltas moves when the stock moves, one will eventually appreciate in value and the other will depreciate in value, thereby living you with one as a winner every time.
Just remember, that real Day Traders are trading options, with one to three month expiration time. Not Day to Day, like the miseducators have taught most of you.
Let today, be the beginning of you winning . A Red day, will pay like a Green Day when on both sides of the trade.
Try it, before you knock it.
Remember where you heard it first,
OG Reggie B …..
Wallstreetbets needs to see this.

Great perspective on the subject. Thanks! Love the channel
looking from these comments i get the sense that you all not a fan of day trading lol the video was will put together and informative, TBH it was just talking about the risk level that comes with trading and its not for every one it wasn't meant to discourage anyone, just a caution, what to expect when if thinking of entering into day trading and he gave little hints on how to gain a passive income, if you thinking of a get rich quick scheme wrong place kudos Ben Felix for this very informative video about day trading.
I see a bunch of haters in the comments section who probably blew their accounts and are salty.
Day traders kind of have to exists to provide liquidity in the market. It’s no use having an investment if you can’t sell it when you need the money…

Im buzzed AF and realized that in one video you said that dividends doesn't matter but in this video you downplay day trading… so just to clarify how do you invest personally.? 🤔 … i mean i have learned alot from your videos and i have liked and subbed regularly 🥰 but im really curious about your portfolio… dont mean to be intrusive or rude.. just curious. I appreciate the lengths of research you delve into for your viewers novice or not btw 🤘🏿
Come on Ben. Using a study on individual investors from 1991-1996 is weak. The investment world has flattened significantly since then. Intuitively, information costs and transaction/trading costs were much higher for individual investors in the 1990s, and therefore the differences between 'day traders' then and 'day traders' now is meaningful. As a result, you should expect day traders to have a poor aggregate performance in the 1990s.
Hi Ben, Thanks for another great video. I was wondering whether you have made a video on Options trading such as "Cash secured put". What is your opinion on it? I will appreciate your response.
Lol, this guy.
it's weird that he doesn't blink
If there's anything people should learn from this video, it is that it is very easy to know whether you will be a successful day trader or not. Traders that can be consistently profitable while taking on less risk than the index can be confident that they're doing alright because most traders are not consistently profitable and are really just making leveraged beta plays. Unfortunately, it's very much a matter of getting it or not getting it – most people don't adapt no matter how they trade.
Just started, made my own strategy and everything. 5-20% positive days for two weeks straight and now the strategy suddenly doesn’t work anymore, makes no sense
What about other sorts of traders? Do traders who work on multi month timelines fare better?
How much of this can be attributed to commissions and fees? With today's brokerages offering 0 fee commissions, that is mostly irrelevant now.
I'm made just over $300/30% in one day day trading during the AMC GME shorting frenzy. I pulled all of it and got rid of my account. It was very clear to me how quickly I could lose a lot of money keeping it up.
The facts of this type of gambling is pretty sobering!
I been day trading for 4 years… been pretty good so far…
Perhaps dumb question, but is that even possible for retailers since trades are only settled after T+2? Otherwise you're freeriding right?
Ben – I'd love if you could do a video on what is known about returns in high frequency trading and / or hedgefunds. Thank you!
Could you do a video on Total Expense Ratio vs. Tracking Difference? Its amazing how ETF "beat" the Underlying by 0.5% for years, i dont get it.
This is why nobody should try to be an average day trader.
my first experience happens to be a total failure but i never gave up because i knew is going to work out for me by trying continuously, fortunately but now am smiling by getting involved with @Mai_trades at lnstagram I TRADED WITH $1000 and i got back $9,000 in five working days, this man has changed many life's including me
I’ve been doing day trading with penny stocks for the past 4 days and getting returns of $80-$430 a day. Day trading is really working for me! Started with $1000 and on day 5 I now have $2101
splendid
“Allright, let me enter your deposit into the system. Aaand it’s gone”
I watched all this guys videos, but I had to learn my lesson with GME. Glad I only put $500 in.
Where did you go? We need you this week!
Huh? shorts beneath 2 day Vwap, 2nd day trades, dip and rips,, gap and go's, bounces, options plays, changing fundamentals, 3 bar plays, oversold buys, overbought shorts, futures during market sell offs or increases, news bases oil futures, inverse ETF's, scalpers, tape readers, treasuries, the US Dollar, social momentum, moving average plays, high vol names. Intraday discretionary traders are some of the most successful players in the game and sharpest. It's what you trade that makes you good & knowing when to trade it. You gonna trade $X on the open when the dollar got trashed overnight, you gonna trade pot stocks or say $SDS against the SPY. SQQQ say against the Nasdaq. $TSLA getting uplisted to the SP500, , swinging low beta names during volatility, working the VIX, Fas or Faz. Intra day guys know markets better than any investor does and they crush it with size on setups they wait for.
This might be a stupid question(s) but I will post it anyway:
If there is something like "daytrader", are there also week-, month-, etc. -traders? Where is the line between trader and investor? What does is mean "short term" and "long term investing"???
As a wannabe day trader with consistent daily losses that have nearly led me to divorce and losing my kids, I can confirm everything this man says in this video.
The house always wins
"..and when everyone is super, no one is super"
Hi Ben, great video. Just curious, have you looked into why Micheal Burry constructed a portfolio of call options instead of holding stocks? Is there any inherent benefit to making a portfolio of call options instead of just holding the stocks directly?
While I agree with the conclusion, I think:
1) there is a point missed in comparing futures trading and stocks trading. Derivatives contracts are by definition zero sum games. With fees, they become negative sum games. Stock investing on the other hand entitles you to profit participation in the form of total returns.
2) Unless you've a edge (as in Medallion Fund or HFT) or spreads are high (as they were in the 1990s due to market structure), it's not within a single day that the total returns will exceed transaction costs.
3) A point that could have been added was the SOES bandits. This opportunity has been gone in the 2000s due to decimalization.
Why is this based on Taiwan's market? vs US market? Kind of ridiculous…
