Intraday Trading

Let’s revisit the basic tenets of fundamental analysis and how is it overarchingly different from technical analysis

Equity delivery refers to buying and holding shares of a company in the stock market with the intention of owning them for an extended period. In this trading segment, the purchased shares are credited to the investor's demat account, and the ownership is transferred. Equity delivery trades involve the actual transfer of shares, making investors full-fledged owners of the company's stock, unlike intraday trading or derivatives trading where positions are squared off on the same trading day.

A day trader conducts short and long trades usually within the span of a day. By and large, these trades are executed online. It is unlikely that day traders will keep any positions open overnight. However, there can be exceptions.

Intraday trading decisions are usually made based on price movements. But not all traders may be equally adept at reading and interpreting these movements. This is why many intraday traders depend on some indicators to help them arrive at the right decisions.
