Definition of day trading
The American "Security Exchange  Commission" has imposed a rule upon all stock trading accounts. This rule is "Regulation-T". This rule specifies that stock trading accounts must be permitted three days after the termination of a trade to settle the account. This is just fancy lingo to justify the guarantee that the funds are either transferred out of your account to another persons  (the person that made money), or the money flows into your account.  A "Day Trader's" account avoids the hassle because you're borrowing money from your broker to trade with and circumvent Reg-T.  It's technically not how long you hold the trade that determines if you're a day trader, or not. It's your accounts liquidity and your credit worthiness.
