how much could be earned day trading the stock markets?

Answer 1

This depends on the amount of money you are using as risk capital.
A fair average might be 4-8% per month, assuming you are trading successfully. Day trading needs to be treated like a job and a business.

You will lose money, and you can make money. When your returns exceed your losses consistently, you can consider yourself successful. Keep educating yourself, and learn to manage your risk/losses.

Answer 2

I think brokerages try to make day trading seem like a very "cool" thing to do. Buy-and-hold has historically been a better approach. Spend your free time doing research. Study companies' SEC filings. Invest and hold for a few months, and then reevaluate. This will lead to better results, and much less money spent on commissions.

Answer 3

I tryed daytrading for a few years. I had some big days making around $3000.00 a few times but by the end of the year i was broke. Your better off contributing a little bit each month to a mutual fund or buying quality stocks and holding for the long run. With mutual funds you can have money taken right out your bank account at the end of the month. Ive been doing this for a while and have been able to accumulate a nice bit of money. I wish i never tried daytrading. Id be a lot richer right now.

Answer 4

That is called pattern day trading, where you make more than 4 trades in a 5 day period. I don't know about India or wherever you are from, but in the USA, pattern day trading has many rules and regulations that normal day traders don't have to abide by. In order to pattern day trade, a trader has to keep $25,000 in a margin account in order to make those types of trades, plus there are many other rules. I day trade and I make 1 trade every other day. My goal every time I trade is to make 1-2%. Anything more than that is very risky and extremely difficult. Some days I don't make that goal and have to sell at a loss, so not every day is a profit. I don't think you will be successful at it if you try to make more than that.
