Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that day trading is profitable for most retail traders?

No. Population-level administrative data from multiple markets indicate that roughly 89-97% of retail day traders lose money and fewer than 1% are consistently profitable, directly contradicting the claim that day trading is profitable for most retail traders.
