Answer:

Yes this sequence of transaction is considered as a day trade.

Explanation:

As per the definition of the day trading, <em>Day trading is defined as the purchase and sale of a security within a single trading day. It can occur in any marketplace but is most common in the foreign exchange (forex) and stock markets.</em>

As per this definition, the trading has to be done such that the purchase and sale is made on the same day. As indicated in the question ,this is the case so the given sequence of transactions is a day trade.
