I’m not a day trader, but I picked a bad time to day trade.

They say everyone is a genius in a bull market.

I started on April 20 day trading tqqq. I am up 4.6% day trading tqqq relative to my portfolio.

That underperforms qqq still. Qqq is up 6.9% since April.

I’m curious if day trading actually outperforms long term buy and hold, in the long run.

Do most profitable traders average 20%+ returns relative to their portfolio?

I’m talking about consistent day traders over 5+ years, not new traders.
