Day trader is actually a general term, not only limited to forex, about a person who trades financial tools such as stocks and currencies within a day and trying to take advantage of the market fluctuations. Day traders normally hold stocks and other financial instruments in a very short period of time with the goal of making a profit from the difference of the buying price and the selling price.

Day traders differ from swing traders and buy and hold investors. Swing traders hold financial instruments longer, normally in a few days to a week, before trading while those people who are in buy and hold doesn't trade a lot. They hold securities for a long period of time and are taking advantage of the growth of the stock. Short term fluctuations never matter for investors because they know that their investments will grow in time.

As for the risk, traders face a lot greater risks than investors. Many people lost money in the stock market because of trading. However, with greater risk comes in the possibility of greater returns. Since traders are trying to take advantage of the daily or short term fluctuations, if one could just perform well, the returns could be much higher than investing.

Trading requires knowledge and experience, it is a skill.

Take note, only the top 20%-30% of day traders are considered "winning" traders.
The rest are break even or even losing, kay you also have to account for the charges made whenever you buy and whenever you sell.

So, if you're not in the mood to study and gamble, skip day trading and proceed to swinging or buy and hold, or the safest but lowest returns would be mutual funds.

Reliable stocks jud and long term ang angay kung investment...but mostly sa mga tawo..ganahan man ug dinalian din i suggest to them nga short term investment/savings like sa bank....

Before sila mag trading kung ganahan jud sila, I suggested study first about sa trading like technical analysis, etc...aron walay mahay kung mo trading na....hehehehehe!

I'm sure day trading is profitable kay daghan mansad nadato ani, but its 20% or less of the trading population, and this is what the newbies never see. Kay they bust really early. Unless willing ta mo commit ug time, study, and emotional discipline(there can be huge losses).

So better ang long term fundamental investing and cost averaging para sa newbies. And murag kani rapud ako buhaton, kay my primary source of income is already like day trading and di nako mag need ug additional labad sa ulo ug stress hehe.
