No, we do not recommend that most people day trade. It's very risky, and there's a high probability that you will lose money if you try to "time the market." You may prefer dollar-cost averaging, which involves investing a certain dollar amount at regular intervals instead of going all in on a stock in one day. For example, you may decide to invest $100 in a stock every month, regardless of the stock price. Some months the stock will be more expensive and you'll get fewer shares, and other months it will be less expensive and you'll end up with more. This is less risky than trying to maximize on trends that occur in one day, as with day trading.
