What is positional trading and Intraday trading?

[Ganesh]

Intraday Trading – Bought and sold shares within a day.

Positional Trading – Bought shares and holding it for a while may be for a week to a month and then selling it.

[Gokul Ramachandran]

Positional trading is long term trading where the trader holds a stock for months or even years. The short term fluctuations in the price will not affect them. Here the earning capacity of the stock is considered.

Intra day trading is buying and selling stocks within a day. Here the momentum of the stocks matter.

[Hassain]

Positional trading duration more than 3 years in other words. Stocks are bought in a long term investment perspective

Intraday trading duration is one-day where the stocks buying and selling should be done and exit the position in a single day

[Sriram Raghavendran]

Intraday trading – trading positions are entered and exited in the same day

Positional trading – positions can be bought and held over few days/weeks/months or longer
