day traders
Quick stock sellers
Day traders are investors who buy and sell financial instruments within the same trading day, closing all positions before the market closes.
The strategy aims to profit from small price movements rather than long-term growth: Day traders watch charts all morning looking for entry points.
The practice requires constant attention and carries significant risk—most day traders lose money.
