Intraday

Within a single trading day, using minute-by-minute or hour-by-hour prices instead of one price per day.

In plain English

Daily data gives one open, high, low and close per day. Intraday data shows everything that happened in between.

Uncle Gary explains

Daily data is the one family photo from the reunion. Intraday data is the full video, including the moment Uncle Gary fell into the pool.

Why it matters for your money

Our golden cross test used daily prices only, so it says nothing about intraday versions of the strategy.
