Day trading
A style where positions are opened and closed within the same day; there is no overnight risk or swap, and session dynamics decide the outcome.
A day trader works on 5-15 minute charts around session opens and macro releases. The daily ATR, VWAP and previous-day levels are the main references.
Most prop firm evaluations suit day trading, though some rules ban holding positions overnight.
