Day trading is the buying and selling of stocks during the trading day by individuals - known as 'day traders' - on their own account.
The aim is to make a profit on the day and have no open positions at the close of the trading session.
New technology, including real time quotes, state of the art decision support systems, charts etc, has put the day trader on the same footing as the Wall Street or City professional.
