day trades
Same-session stock swaps
Day trades are stock or securities transactions where positions are opened and closed within the same trading day—buying shares in the morning and selling them by market close, for instance.
The strategy aims to profit from small price movements rather than long-term growth.
Someone who does this regularly is a day trader: He quit his job to focus on day trades.
