Day trading and Delivery trading are the two main types of shares trading.

¨ Day trading –
Buying and selling of shares on daily basis is called day trading this is also called as Intra day trading. Whatever you buy today you have to sell it today OR whatever you sell today you have to buy it today and very importantly during market hours that is 9.55 am to 3.30 pm (Indian time).

¨ Delivery Trading

In Delivery Trading, as the name say, you have to take the delivery of shares and after getting these shares in your demat account you can sell them at anytime (or you can hold them till you want, there is no restriction).

In delivery trading you need to have the amount required to buy share for example, if you want to buy 100 shares of Reliance at price 500 than you must have (100*500) Rs. 5000 in your account; once you purchased these shares will get deposited in your demat account (say after basically, trading day and 2 additional days). Then you can sell these shares when the price of these shares goes up or else you can sell whenever you want.
