TradersLaboratory decodes Day Trading
Day trading is often seen in the light of normal employment hours, where workers clock-in in the morning and clock-out at the end of the trading day. Day trading is the hallmark of speculators, who use leverage in order to maximize the relatively small market price fluctuations that occur during the trading day. The volatility of markets such as the forex markets allows traders to open and close positions in a matter of hours. Day trading is done by the majority of individual traders in the market, hence contributing to the great market liquidity that the forex market boasts of.
