Day trading stocks is different then swing trading and holding longer term. There are different rules, knowledge and skill sets needed. It's a much more faster experience.
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?

So depending on the stock I think with day trading it's best to have mental orders in your head ready to act on as the trade is in motion.
Of course long term stocks are different. You have to ride them out.
