What Is Day Trading and How Does It Work

Day trading is buying and selling financial instruments (e.g. stocks, forex) within the same day. Positions are closed before the session ends, so you're not holding overnight. The aim is to profit from short-term price moves.

You need a broker, a strategy, and strict risk management. Day traders use charts, levels, and sometimes news to find entries and exits. It's fast-paced and not suitable for everyone—education and practice are essential before using real money.
