If you want to be a full-time trader, don’t limit yourself to day trading
Day trade futures, sure
Then also swing trade stocks
Combine whatever technical analysis you already have to swinging stocks, and combine that with researching earnings reports, economic data, what sectors are trending, etc
I’ve had weeks where my day trading has done -$100k but my stock swings have made me over $700k the same week, so it helps you diversify massively
And on top of this, if you’re scalping or doing short-term day trading you’ll eventually reach a stage where you can’t scale your strategy past a certain risk (could be $1-2k per trade for tiny scalp positions, or $10k, or $20k, etc)
There’ll come a point where you just can’t scale your day trading any further
So swinging stocks allows you to continue putting that money to work somewhere else so you can continue to grow your wealth
And what’s even better? Swing trading stocks is way easier than day trading futures too
