You may have heard of people who day trade for a living. You might even know someone who does stock trading either full time or part time. But maybe you don’t know exactly what a stock trader does? When they hear the word stock trading, most people conjure up images of men in suits on the floor of a stock exchange center shouting at each other. This is not really an accurate picture of a day trader. Most day traders spend their days at home working only 2 to 3 hours per day. They work in front to their computers most of the time wearing whatever they want to. This is the lowdown on day trading.
