I tried day trading for a week

After years of DCA + hodl and taking profits every now and then, I decided to try day trading "to speed things up"

I engulfed myself in scalping strategies, learned about the fibonacci sequence and watched numerous videos about so-called safe trading strategies.

I set aside $5000 for day trading and loaded some coins into FTX. First few trades went fine, then the fun was over and it was all losses for 8 straight trades.

My $5000 is now worth around $3000 and I'm furious that I even thought about trying this.

Yeah, I'm back to DCA + hodl.
