Day trading

Day trading is the practice of acquiring and selling stocks and securities on the same day in order to profit. By the end of the market day, a day trader will have closed all their positions and capitalized on any gains, however small they are. Many day traders acquire and sell stocks in response to current events. They are preoccupied with what is happening right now. Other traders may employ complex algorithms or examine charts to determine the ideal time to purchase or sell.

Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest. This is a high-risk investment and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong.

Got it!
