Popular Questions
Frequently Asked Questionsabout Day Trading.
What is a demo trading account?
Is demo trading the same as live trading?
While demo accounts mimic real-life trading, they do not account for emotional pressure or real-market slippage—the difference between your expected price and the actual execution price.
What is the minimum age to start trading?
Most regulated brokerages require traders to be at least 18 years old.
What is a "stop-loss" order?
A stop-loss is an automated order that sells your asset once it reaches a certain price to limit your potential losses on a trade.
What is the difference between "long" and "short" positions?
Going “long” means buying an asset because you expect the price to rise. Going “short” involves selling an asset (often borrowed) with the expectation that the price will fall, allowing you to buy it back later at a lower price.
