Welcome to the new reality of day trades where traders make no money. If traders know what they are doing, then 1 shot per day trade exists to make as much as 20 and 30 pips. But the trade must be hit perfectly or no money is earned for the day.

But this requires 7 1/2 hours of screen watching and Americans must trade within day trade times or forget day trading.

Losers under the new day trade system are traders as no money exists anymore. Vast majority of time, price existed in neutral.

Judging by the numerous posts by traders, they are in desperate need of a strategy as they don't have a clue what they say, trade or recommend to other traders. The reality doesn't match the words nor does the credentials in the bio match expertise.

The day trade is a literal joke. Traders are wasting their time to day trade.
