There are a lot of studies and theories which can help you to outperform professionals. There are also a lot of examples on amateurs doing much better than professionals. You can check "Random walk down Wall Street" if you are interested on this matter.

Right, but those aren't for day traders. Most of those strategies depend on holding for long periods of time.

Also if you know where to look (twitter, forums), you can find plenty of amateurs that outperform the market, and post their trades publicly.
