Short excerpt from a Kardec Trader YouTube video (May 19, 2025) explaining a benefit of intraday (day) trading: closing positions intra-day and re-entering with increased capital allows faster compounding and captures retracements that occur overnight, rather than holding unrealized profits through higher-timeframe rollovers.
And this is the benefit of intraday trading as well. Typically, the rollover session overnight, there's usually going to be a retracement. As an intraday trader, you're extracting more money out of the market, you're attracting more points out of the market, because instead of just holding through it, you're closing at a specific position and then you're re entering with more capital, right? You're compounding that capital faster rather than keeping that unrealized profit open the entire time. And you're still trading an intraday model inside of a higher time premiere.
