Stock market analyst and other researchers always say that 90% of the traders lose money in the stock market. Day trading is really a risky one for you if you are not a pro.

You need to check lots of parameters at once before entering into a trade. So, it is better to avoid day trading if you are not a skilled trader or not relying on the stock market analyst.

Instead of day trading, you can focus on long-term investment or positional trading. Investment for a longer period will always provide you return depending on the stocks. However, positional trading is also a bit risky and still, you can hold it till you are in profit.

I suggest you invest in stocks for a longer period as you will get the dividend and along with that you will enjoy the price appreciation.
