    Why is day trading so difficult?

    Not much complexity - if we'talking stocks....if its going up or down, and preferably strongly... find a good entry / stop....maybe at retracement....news already out .....no risk of overnight news or economic shocks...risk removed EOD by closing position or carring some if strong trend into close.
