I agree day traders will get chances to make more profits, similarly they have more risks compared to position traders.
Quitting job for bitcoin trading is not a good idea in my personal opinion, as trading is always involved with the risks whereas a job is safer from those.
But sometimes day trades are exciting especially when there is a current rally increase that is happening. It really gives an excitement since you are waiting for your target price to sold your coins.
Also when we are in the situation like that, it's really a must to have an all day monitoring for us to ride the very possible situation that will happen.
