The stock markets have become one of the most sought-after avenues to make profits. Among the numerous strategies aimed at maximising wealth, two commonly used strategies are intraday and positional trading. Here is a detailed analysis of these two strategies along with the critical features of intraday vs positional trading.
While intraday and positional trading strategies exploit profit potential in the stock markets, intraday trading does so by trying to capture the maximum profits during the day. However, positional trading requires investors to hold on to their positions for a more extended timeframe. Since intraday traders do not carry forward their positions to the next day, they are exposed to a lesser risk than positional traders, who hold their positions overnight. Both these strategies can help in cultivating profits or creating losses. Positional trading may backfire if you have bad timing and invest in the wrong stock. Moreover, intraday trading may generate losses if you do not have stop-loss or profit targets.

Intraday trading refers to buying and selling securities on the same day. Intraday traders seek to capitalise on small profit-making opportunities throughout the day and close their positions by the end of the trading day.
Positional trading refers to the strategy wherein traders initiate their positions for a longer timeframe, which spans from several weeks to months. In positional trading, the trader typically has a long-term view of the stock.

An in-depth analysis of these strategies combined with a thorough understanding of day trade vs. swing trade can help you select the best-suited strategy.
