FAQ

  • What is day trading?
    Day trading involves buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day. Traders capitalize on small price movements in highly liquid stocks or currencies, closing out positions before the market closes to avoid unmanageable risks or negative price gaps between one day's close and the next day's price at the open.
  • How much capital do I need to start day trading?
    The minimum capital required to start day trading varies by country and platform. In the U.S., the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) requires a minimum of $25,000 in your brokerage account to day trade actively (more than 4 trades in 5 business days). However, opening a cash account allows traders to day trade with a lot less capital.
  • Can day trading be a full-time career?
    Yes, day trading can become a full-time career, but it requires significant dedication, research, and discipline. Successful day traders often have a deep understanding of the markets, a well-tested trading strategy, and the ability to remain calm under pressure. It's also important to have sufficient capital to weather the inevitable losses and periods of low profitability.
