📘 What Is Day Trading? (Beginner Explanation)
Day trading is the practice of buying and selling financial markets within the same day to take advantage of small price movements.
Instead of holding trades for weeks or months, day traders:
- Enter a trade
- Take a profit or a loss
- Close the trade the same day
Nothing is held overnight.
The goal of day trading is not to get rich fast. The real goal is to:
- Follow rules
- Manage risk
- Take high-probability setups
- Stay disciplined
In day trading, you don’t need to be right all the time. You only need:
- Small, controlled losses
- Consistent risk management
- Patience to wait for good opportunities
Many day traders use prop firm capital, which means they trade with a company’s money after proving they can follow rules. This allows traders to grow without risking large amounts of their own cash.
Day trading is a skill, not gambling. Like any skill, it takes time, practice, and structure to improve.
If you’re new, don’t rush the process. Learn the basics, respect risk, and focus on consistency over profits.
