Where as you need patience with swing trading/holding long term. With DT you need to make quick decisions.

Would you think it’s best to set a stop limit early/profit loss order or just keep an eye and watch the $$$ fluctuate until it hits your mental target?

I think for new day traders it's best to start small. Get used to how fast and tricky the game can be. These stocks fluctuate so fast and so deep up and down. Stop orders most certain get taken out which is good if it's a profit sell limit order. Not so good for a stop loss.
