#DayTradingStrategy

🎯 What is Day Trading?

Day trading is the strategy of buying and selling financial assets within the same day — sometimes even within minutes or seconds — to profit from short-term price movements.

🛠️ Popular Day Trading Strategies:

1. Scalping

Super short-term trades, often seconds to minutes.

Targets small profits on high volume trades.

Requires tight spreads and fast execution.

2. Momentum Trading

Focuses on news, trends, or volume spikes.

Traders enter when momentum is high and exit before it slows.

Suitable for volatile markets (like crypto).

3. Breakout Trading

Enters trades when price breaks a key support/resistance level.

Uses volume confirmation for stronger signals.

Stop-loss placed just outside the breakout range.

4. Reversal/Mean Reversion

Trades when price moves too far from the average (e.g., Bollinger Bands or RSI extremes).

Assumes price will return to the mean.

Works well in range-bound markets.

5. News-Based Trading

Involves reacting quickly to market-moving news, earnings reports, or economic data.

High-risk but can be highly profitable with fast execution.
