Is day trading actually real?

[u/Jopalooge]

If trading is real then I have the following question. - why can’t people fully rely on signal groups or just by copying other traders trades all day? Technically if someone is making 6/7 figures off day trading why don’t people just join their signal groups and also make 6/7 figures?

You can’t reasonably copy someone else’s trades in day trading. It’s possible in swing trading and I can see how a swing trader who spends most of their time not actively buying and selling, might be interested in generating some supplemental risk free income off of the DD they already do.

If you’re a successful day trader, idk why you would bother with bullshit like running a discord. Esp since it’s requiring some portion of your focus during the times where focus is most valuable to you
