What is a Day Trade?

December 24, 2016 By Matt Thomas Leave a Comment


Day Trading Breakdown:

Day trading is for trigger-happy traders looking to capitalize on intraday price movements. In other words, day traders are buying and selling positions within the same day – there’s no risk of overnight holds. To be a successful day trader, it requires a large amount of capital, knowledge, and experience in the marketplace.

The potential for quick profits makes it appealing to many beginners, but in reality day traders need to be well-versed in how the market works – ignorance and inexperience will ultimately result in failure. Overall, day traders rely on defined strategies, extreme discipline, multiple news sources, and technical indicators. And since they are so active throughout the trading day, they help keep the market efficient and liquid.
