Intraday Trading

Intraday trading involves buying and selling financial instruments, such as stocks, commodities, or forex, within the same trading day. Unlike long-term investments, intraday traders do not take delivery of the assets, as positions are opened and closed before the market closes. This type of trading is popular with equity shares, but commodity options and forex futures are also commonly traded on an intraday basis. The goal is to profit from short-term price fluctuations, and it requires careful monitoring of market conditions and technical analysis to make timely decisions.
