    Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions are usually closed before the market close for the trading day....

    When the position is squared off same day is know as day trading.

    eg you buy 100 shares of xyz today morning and you sell 100 shares of xyz in the afternoon before the market closes whether you make profit or loss, its a day trading or intraday trading.

    to know what to buy and when to buy for day trading you can visit

    Buying and selling the same stock in a day is day trading. It is very tempting however one of the most riskiest forms of investing. I would suggest only buying fundamentally strong stocks. http://www.moneyworks4me.com/

    The price and value of investments and their income fluctuates: you may get back less than the amount you invested. Remember that how an investment performed in the past is not a guide to how it will perform in the future. If you are in any doubt about investing in these types of investments, you should consult a financial adviser.
