description: "I've been in trading for over a year, having dealt with US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, A-shares, and cryptocurrencies. In the end, I find that intraday swing trading in US stocks suits me best. Although it won't make me rich overnight, having a relatively stable income is reassuring.There's no risk of holding positions overnight, nor the risk of sudden pre-market news. I trade as soon as the market opens, take profits when I have them, and cut losses when they occur. The account doesn't experience huge fluctuations.This is also the question I'd like to discuss with everyone: Would you choose to take the risk of holding positions overnight to capture the full market move, or would you rather pay some cost to avoid risk in exchange for a relatively stable income?"

- **厉害钊 · 2026-04-02T15:22:52.000Z**: Is your intraday trading just simple buying and selling for day trading, or is it options trading?
  - **Olen** (2026-04-02T15:23:46.000Z): Not touching options, too timid.
  - **厉害钊** (2026-04-02T15:25:35.000Z): Then you can only go long, not short, when day trading.
  - **Olen** (2026-04-02T15:26:48.000Z): Dude, are you serious?
- **锅边王道 · 2026-04-02T14:41:59.000Z**: I also do day trading, closing positions before sleep. However, like last night when I closed my short position at a high point, I couldn't make money in today's pre-market. Lately, I've been losing money. Do you have any good day trading strategies to share?
  - **Olen** (2026-04-02T15:01:26.000Z): I only enter the market after the opening when the overall trend becomes clear. I don't trade pre-market, firstly because the trading volume is small and price fluctuations are minimal, so you can wai
  - **锅边王道** (2026-04-02T15:06:24.000Z): I also entered the market at the intraday extreme point like this, and also lost money. Mainly because my position size is small, not enough to support my continuous margin call top-ups.
  - **锅边王道** (2026-04-02T15:08:29.000Z): Most of the time during the day you won't lose money, it's mainly that I keep running into one-sided market moves recently.
- **刘佳明 · 2026-04-02T14:33:25.000Z**: How do you look at intraday indicators? What should I do if it keeps falling after I buy? How many points should I set as the stop-loss?
- **Olen · 2026-04-02T14:31:08.000Z**: I chose the latter through my own practice. To be honest, I'm just timid and don't want to take big risks.Sometimes, if I hold a position overnight, SNXX might earn back several days' worth of money for me in one night. But then again, it's hard to say when I might wake up to find that my bottom-fis
  - **刘佳明** (2026-04-02T14:40:03.000Z): My account recently went from being up 32% to down over 20%, and now it's back to break-even. I think a more stable approach suits me. With my small capital, I'd be satisfied making 40-50 dollars a da
  - **Olen** (2026-04-02T14:59:58.000Z): I only look at trading volume myself, I don't pay attention to other indicators, basically just naked K-lines.I understand that indicators might be more suitable for SwingTrading above the 1-hour time
  - **刘佳明** (2026-04-02T15:02:44.000Z): Thank you
