Too unpredictable and I'm not smart enough or hardworking enough

Are you implying you know anything about investing?
Daytrading is zero-sum; net money only goes to speculators in the form of dividends and new buy-in (e.g., wages that go to a 401k). Thus it's a situation that typically needs a large number of small losers to support a small number of big winners. Not exactly robot paradise, unless you have enough money up front to count on dividends.
im dumb as a rock i'd lose the pitiful amount of cash i have in this world

there are supercomputers and thousands of people with Ph.Ds in math and economics getting paid 7 digit salaries working 80 hours weeks to perform extensive analysis on stock returns, utilizing a tool set of stochastic calculus and derivative pricing models, EVERY DAY for hedge funds on wall street, which are all constantly trying to get the one-up on, and you think you're going to just waltz into the market as an amateur and

But hey it's the American dream so go go, you can do it.
If all these "@home traders" actually had a clue of maths they'd know that any chart signal or price advantage has already been exploited by a bigger fish. Meaning the remaining risk is almost always 50/50. Try daytrading over 5 years and see if you made a reliable income.
The only thing that works reliably are dividends and betting on the overall economy, but that's really not a lot.
