The terms "intra-day trading" and "day trading" refer to the practice of buying and selling assets on the same day, either on or off the stock market.
In forex trading, intra-day trades are common, because even the smallest fluctuations in rates can be leveraged through broker loans.
Intra-day trading normally requires constant oversight of market rates and therefore isn’t a good choice for hobby traders.
