Time in the market is a factor, but it's a very small one when you 
are looking at daytrading.  Daytraders typically work with tremendous 
leverage, such that they can make or lose thousands of dollars in a 
matter of minutes.  And guess what, more of them lose than win.  Lose 
thousands of dollars in 10-15 minutes, several times a day, and 
pretty soon you're talking real money.
