Intraday trading and delivery trading differ mainly in holding period. In intraday trading, positions are opened and closed on the same day. In delivery trading, shares are held for more than one day.
Intraday trading focuses on short term price fluctuations and uses margin. Delivery trading focuses on long term price appreciation and requires full capital.
Risk is higher in intraday trading due to leverage and volatility. Delivery trading carries lower short term risk but depends on company fundamentals and market trends.
Choosing between intraday and delivery trading depends on capital, risk tolerance, and time availability. Beginners should clearly understand this difference before trading.
