Practical approach of a day trader
Here is the rational to the statement! It depends on lots of factors like choice of right trading stock / instrument (trade planing), once chosen a trading instrument then it should make desired 1% move on the chosen day in the desired direction (trading strategy), entry in the instrument is made at the time when it is about to give that 1% or above move (sentiment decoding), after move is made by the instrument / stock don’t reverse in direction (sentiment decoding), even if reversed then trader quickly exit its position in profit and post exit (risk management), what ever profit is made is maintained till end of trading day (profit protection).
Luck vs Skills
After exit if stock continues to move in the desired direction, do not regret and move on i.e. no emotions (trading psychology). Further get ready to take next position in same instrument or different instrument (trade planing). Ideally next position adds to the profit and is not given away (profit protection)! Even if it goes away it is gone from profit and not from capital (risk management). Most important in case instrument doesn’t move in desired direction then trader do not lose more that calculated risk (risk management). Not sure if would have missed out on any additional factor that would play its role in this 1% per day earning journey!
