Day Trading

Opening and closing all trades within the same trading day.

Full Definition

Day trading involves opening and closing positions within the same trading session, never holding overnight. Day traders avoid overnight risk and swap charges but must make decisions quickly and manage intraday volatility. Successful day trading requires significant time commitment, strict discipline, and understanding of intraday price patterns.
