For fun - swing trade stocks and options. Its harder the busier I am and less profitable I am, but thats why I do it for fun
I do it as a side job. Been doing it for over 6 years. And been positive every year escort my first where I was day trading and not swing trading.
As long as I earn more than I spend I’m ok with it. Some months I’m a little over and there are month where I’ve made 10x. some month I’m in the red but never too deep. Some of the services really good at managing risk and cut losses. I don’t spend time at all. I get an email that says buy. I see the chart and I make a judgement call. Most times I follow the call. Then when it’s buy or sell I assess if there is more upside or downside potential and make a decision. I used to just follow instructions but after many years I do some legwork too. Time spent is very minimal.
Pro
If you are working from home it’s easier to trade. The time normally spent commuting, you can trade instead. For day trading the first thirty minutes of the open is usually the busiest.
Rising Star
The retail investors lose money int eh first half hour. The pros make money the last half hour.
The time between 11am and 1pm is usually when liquidity is lowest and you can see some extreme prices.
So if the market is going ‘with you’ on the open you can trade. So buy on an irrational dip or sell on a pop.
The end of the day is the truest price. The midday might be the ‘best price’ depending on your trade.
