Do you think daytrading is a good idea If you have money to play with?

I got offered a large sum of money to trade with If i wanted to, by a relative who liked my views. He Said that he would be Willing to offer it to me as a start If i was serious and that i could take 90% of the profits but that If i would lose all the money i need to pay it back but without any interest.

Considering 90% of traders lose money the first year this might be a stupid deal to take but then again it could be great in other ways.

Tl:dr is trading someone else money for a majority cut worthwhile?
 
Absolutely not, unless you are a super forecaster and can dedicate the time and energy

Alternatively, social and charisma max into successful day trader circles and know when they make moves

How to know if you are a super forecaster, or on the spectrum to one?

This is a Dunning Kruger problem, although there’s no record like winning.

But I would venture that if you are very good at 1) physics 2) reading comprehension (author intent, theory of mind), you will have good starting chops

I used to do it a few months ago with my margin account trading leveraged nasdaq funds. Was able to make $700 everyday pretty consistently but stopped cuz I live in asia and don’t want to stay up staring at screen. Also I would lose some money sometimes like $200 a day but still made more than I lost.

indices are better to trade than fx pairs or individual stocks. dow jones is great, no lack of opportunity during the ny session
