What is intraday trading?
Buying and selling on the same day.
Explained in more detail
Every position is closed before the market shuts, so you are betting on movement within a few hours. Costs are frequent and mistakes are fast. Most people who try this without training lose money.
An example
For instanceBuying at 10:15 am and selling at 2:40 pm the same day is an intraday trade.
Why this matters to you
You will meet this word in broker apps, company results and market news. Knowing what it means is not the goal on its own. The goal is being able to judge whether a number is good or bad for the investment you are actually holding.
