Daily trading: how can you make an investment?

In the field of online trading, we have seen several initial strategies, such as position trading. If you want to try to move with less caution and act more openly from the start, you can try to make a result with daily trading.

What is Day Trading?

Obviously, as well as the specific term since its definition, it is a technique for investing online operational over a day. The professional will in fact carry out various trades for positions that last from opening to closing daily.

This is precisely the factor that specifically characterizes the trading style that we deal with in the article: the time span of a day. Everything that happens after the night, or "overnight", is not taken into account by the trader, although the continuation of the investment beyond the time period considered by day trading could yield profits or avoid losses.

As for choosing this style, it is certainly not a thing for everyone: it is especially aimed at traders who are able to withstand a very high level of stress, as the risk associated with such investments is also high compared to other styles and strategies.

Having a ready and determined character is undoubtedly indicated: behind a "daily" strategy, in fact, many unexpected events are hidden but at the same time surprising results are achieved in the short term: in fact, one of the reasons for the success of daily trading is the possibility of winning different trades within 24 hours.

The characteristics of daily trading

We continue to explore the topic related to the type of professional who is best suited to invest online with this strategy. First of all, you need to have the opportunity to manage the money very rigidly.

During the day, daily traders will have to manage the minimum capital necessary to diversify their positions correctly.

The fundamental step consists in identifying the right agreements with the broker of reference: this leads above all to lower the possible impact of the various commissions linked to the brokerage activity.

If day trading fees are not well distributed and optimized, there is a risk that all the gains will be "wasted" in paying the broker who helped us place the trades.

Differences with position trading

Compared to this technique, the trader who does daily trading has at his disposal a greater spectrum of instruments to exploit to his advantage:

• may use leverage to increase capital invested
• can exploit derivatives to monetize
• can use higher-level strategies to gain even in very concentrated periods of time.

Using this strategy also helps the market: the large number of transactions during the day means that a whole range of financial instruments and securities remain "liquid" for longer, without risking greater price fragmentation.
