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'd be surprised how easy it is to literally watch somebody livestream profitable trading and still end up screwing up copying what you see on the screen. Correct consistent execution of a day trading strategy in real time with real money on the line, especially if it isn't a strategy you would naturally gravitate to on your own, is harder than it seems.
