Day Trader

A Day Trader is a type of trader who actively buys and sells financial instruments within the same trading day with the aim to capitalise on short-term price movements. They typically make numerous trades throughout the trading day, using technical analysis to identify patterns and trends. Day traders often use leverage to amplify their potential returns, but this can come with a higher risk of losses.
