This is a much bigger deal than the quiet title may be indicating to you. And I imagine the title brought about a little curiosity, and you probably have some idea what I'm going to talk about. It's not meant to be a cute title, it is actually a term I use virtually every day. It does apply to both day trading and longer-term trading or swing trading, at least most aspects of this conversation do. It's part of a problem that I call the silent killer for traders because it often goes unnoticed, sometimes forever.
