Basic Questions:

Q: What is day trading?
A: Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders.

Q: What are futures?
A: Futures markets are the most popular day trading markets. They offer a wide variety of markets, can be traded at very low cost (i.e. low commission), and do not have any day trading restrictions like stocks.
Futures markets are traded at futures exchanges like the DTB (Deutsche Boerse) in Europe, and Globex (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) in the US.

Q: What are options?
A: An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date. An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security. It is also a binding contract with strictly defined terms and properties.

Q: What is the forex?
A: The foreign exchange market, often referred to as forex, is the market for the various currencies of the world. It is a market which, at its core, is rooted in global trade. Goods and services are exchanged 24 hours a day all over the world. Those transactions done across national borders require payments in non-domestic currencies.
