But the real point I wish to make here is that Intraday Stock Trading does NOT mean day trading. I am a short term stock trader, but I am NOT a day trader or a swing trader and even though I hold positions for as long as three days I AM an Intraday Stock Trader and I am glued to 15 minute bar data throughout the market day. Using intraday data in this manner gives me an enormous advantage over most other traders.
