Trading strategies

Day trading

Day trading means opening and closing your positions within the same day, holding nothing overnight.

A day trader profits from very short-term price moves. It requires availability, discipline and solid risk management: since you make many trades, small mistakes add up fast.

Example

You buy a stock at 9:45 and sell it at 11:20 the same day: that is day trading.
