The financial market works in ways which is not so easy for a lay man to understand and thus work around investing through it. It requires a good sense of fluctuations and expectations to be judged and trends to be identified before making any buy or sell decision for any kind of financial securities or trade worthy entities.

The knowledge and the precision is extremely important for investors, especially in day trading when the market sentiment is speculator and people or rather speculative investors are trying to get in the market to earn and generate instant and large amount of profits. This also justifies the name given to this system of trading which is day trading since the trading on the security is carried out on the same day itself.

The people who under take this kind of financial activity in the market are called speculative investors. This is because they are coming or rather entering the market because of their motive of getting quick gains and profits. As it is said in the financial markets that higher the risk in the investment higher is the gain. And this is exactly what is played on by the investors who enter in to the day trading market. They enter with the aim to earn the maximum out of the single day of trading and thus they are also faced with a high risk of getting nothing out of the day trading process and also of suffering very high imaginable losses.

Day trading is also one concept which should be very well known to any speculative investor before he or she jumps on to the band wagon to gain and earn quick profits and money. The day trading is a financial method of investing in the market where both the buying and selling positions are held in the course of the same day. This means that if one person has bought a certain financial security in a particular day then before the market closes for the end of the day the investor or speculator will also sell that security on that very same day.

The various financial securities which are available in the financial markets can be traded under the method of day trading. These securities include stocks, stock options, currencies, future contracts like equity index futures, interest rate futures and commodity futures.

There is a very large amount of financial leverage involved in the process of day trading and the mere pace at which this entire process f trading is carried out, two possibilities are highly likely. One being that of a very profitable result of the trading and the other being that of highly un profitable. There is no middle level path which the investor can hope to achieve and then stick to that pattern of trading.

So playing the fundamental analysis vs technical analysis in the entire process is the speculator or the day trader himself, or herself. He or she is the one who is responsible for the market swing through the way of investment, buying and selling of securities and other financial activities which he or she under goes during the day trading process.
