    Scalping crypto (daytrade tactic), turned 300$ into 2000$ in 24h! Was on employment insurance at the time so it went into essential stuff.

      Just keep in mind that financial markets are a zero-sum game. For every gain one person makes, other people lose that much.

        Eh… Don’t know how that’s relevant here, but keep in mind that any financial gain is a zero sum game?
