The allure of day trading, often promoted as a path to quick financial gains, masks its true challenges. Research has consistently shown that day trading is fraught with difficulties and often results in losses. The [Journal of Finance](https://www.jstor.org/stable/2325867) highlights that day trading frequently leads to poor outcomes due to high transaction costs, slippage, and market volatility.
On the other hand, swing trading—holding positions over several days or weeks—has proven to be more effective for many traders. According to [Trading Economics](https://tradingeconomics.com/), swing trading allows for capitalizing on broader market trends while reducing the impact of short-term fluctuations. This method often results in better risk-adjusted returns compared to the high-frequency approach of day trading.
