Strategy styles

Day trading means opening and closing positions within one session, so no position carries overnight risk. It relies on liquidity, volatility and speed.

Costs matter enormously: spreads and fees are paid many times a day.

Edges are small and mechanical, so discipline matters more than insight.

Published studies consistently find that the large majority of retail day traders lose money over time, and a small minority persist profitably.

If you want to try it, use the sandbox first and record every trade with its reasoning. Judge the approach over at least fifty trades, never over five.
