Most of the successful traders are event traders, those who trade on specific events in specific projects. Day trader, I've never heard of anyone maintaining the day trade cycle in my network. On the forum as well most people don't claim to be the day traders, it's really hard to trade daily in every circumstance of the market and maintain the balance sheet and profitability.
At the same time, there's no headache in maintaining the profitability of trade in event trading, people don't like to get themselves into mess, haha shortcuts are always prfeered. Anyway event trading is not the shortcut but yup it save time and has its own pros.
