Day trading is the practice of buying and selling financial instruments like stocks, options, or currencies within the same trading day, aiming to profit from short-term price movements. Day traders rely on technical analysis, chart patterns, and real-time market data rather than long-term fundamentals, and typically close all positions before markets close to avoid overnight risk. It requires significant time, discipline, and risk tolerance, as it can result in substantial gains or losses.
