Day trading: how it works and should you do it?
In short: Day trading means buying and selling within the same day to profit from small moves. It is one of the activities where individuals lose most often: repeated fees, leverage and decisions under stress.
How it works
The day trader opens and closes positions the same day, often several times, earning a fraction of a percent per trade… or losing it.
Why it is so hard
Intraday moves are dominated by noise. Fees add up. Professionals use algorithms that react in milliseconds.
If you are curious
Start with a simulator or demo account, without real money, for several months, and compare your result with a simple long-term investment.
