Day Trading
Day traders rapidly buy and sell stocks throughout the day in the hope that their stocks will continue climbing
or falling in value for the seconds to minutes they own the stock, allowing them to lock in quick profits. Day
trading is extremely risky and can result in substantial financial losses in a very short period of time. If you
are a day trader, or are thinking about day trading, read our publication, Day Trading: Your Dollars at
Risk. We also have warnings and tips about online trading and day trading. For more
information on day trading and the related FINRA margin rules, please read the SEC staff’s investor bulletin “Margin Rules for Day Trading.”
