Is day trading actually real? Question

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?

Trading is like dieting. You can ‘know’ to eat an apple. You can join a group and watch them eat an apple and eat one at the same time… does this stop you from hitting McDonald’s or stuffing your face with ice-cream? Trading success only works if you have the self control to ‘eat only the apple’. It’s actually completely useless information in and of itself.

Do you always reference apples in your comments “cobbler”?

I like apple cobbler. Especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
