daytrading
Same-session stock buying
Daytrading is buying and selling 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.
Daytraders watch charts obsessively and execute dozens of trades daily: He quit his job to try daytrading but blew through his savings in six months.
