Day Trading
Opening and closing positions same day - no overnight exposure.
Day trader opens positions in the morning and closes before session end (crypto is 24/7 but traders follow London/NY sessions). Needs 4-8h/day. Pros: no wake up to a surprise overnight risk, clear daily metrics. Cons: high fees, stress, needs solid capital.
In plain words
You open in the morning and close in the afternoon - never sleep on a position.
Example
