A lot of people think day trading isn't possible in any way and I get why, its completely misrepresented in what it actually is for the most part, people think its this get rich quick scheme where all they have to do is gamble on stocks and they'll make a fortune—this thinking obviously leads to mindless gambling and a loss of money. The reality is that trading is a skill that you will have to develop and a hard one at that, that will take years for most people, but nonetheless day trading is possible.
The statistics about the vast majority of day traders losing money is very true but its worthless without proper context, these statistics tend to come from trading platforms and its just thousands of newbies that know nothing about it, no proper training, education or plan to go about it. Imagine a "doctor" with no education or training that at best watched a few YouTube videos or read some books tried to do a surgery? of course its going to end up badly, when you're misinformed or unprepared failure is an inevitability.
