Day Trading is the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day, so all positions are closed before the market closes.
Day trading involves short-term trading where traders aim to profit from small price movements during the day. Positions are not carried overnight, reducing overnight risk but increasing intraday pressure.
In India, day trading takes place on exchanges like the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange, regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India.
"A trader buys a stock at ₹100 in the morning and sells it at ₹102 before market close, earning a profit of ₹2 per share."
