Day trading is buying and selling the same shares or other securities such as options and currencies within the same trading day (such as between share markets opening and closing). It's often used interchangeably with the term intraday trading. Day trading can also be used to describe frequent trading, such as buying and selling the same shares within a trading week. Typically, the aim of day trading is to benefit from stock movements and volatility hoping to make a capital gain quickly. Learn more about day trading and risks.
