Daytrading is a fantastic profession if we are able to survive through the initial years. But let me caution you....the success rate is very small...less than 5 % so it obviously wont be easy.
Initially in daytrading we start with 1-2 Lacs capital but as we become successful, we have to increase our capital by adding back the profits. Problem is that traders after 5-10 years still keep trading 2-4 lots on small capital and compare their earnings with IT professional or corporate executives....for a full time trader one needs upwards of Rs 10-12 Lacs or more as trading capital....one can trade some swing trade positions also.
I have no doubt in my mind that trading is one of the best professions.If I have to start as a 20 years young man all over again, I will definately opt for trading again, no second thoughts.
