Intraday trading
Intraday trading refers to buying and selling positions within the same trading day, with no overnight exposure. In energy markets, intraday trading focuses on capturing short-term price movements driven by news, data releases, or flow imbalances.
Intraday traders rely on liquidity, volatility, and fast execution rather than long-term fundamentals. Common catalysts include inventory reports, geopolitical headlines, refinery outages, and macroeconomic announcements.
Because positions are closed before the end of the day, intraday trading reduces exposure to overnight risk but requires discipline and tight risk controls. Transaction costs and execution quality are critical.
Example: a trader may buy crude futures ahead of inventory data and sell minutes later if prices spike. Intraday trading plays an important role in price discovery and liquidity provision in active energy markets.
