or intraday trading is a type of trading in which traders can buy and sell stocks at the
same time on the same day. Here, the main goal is to make quick profits and exit the position as soon as possible. In addition, the waiting time can vary from a few minutes to a specific time period. Usually, large beta stocks (that is, stocks whose prices fluctuate greatly every day) are traded as intraday. If the price does not change throughout the day, then buyers will not have the opportunity to get profit from the stock during the day.
How to trade intraday
Step 1: Open Demat and trading account: you can open your trading and Demat account from Kotak Securities by visiting https://www.kotaksecurities.com
Step 2: Margin balance availability: You must have sufficient margin in your
account (the minimum amount required for trading). Compared with MIS (Margin Closed Intraday), the amount required to be marginalized is very different.
Step 3: Select assets: It is impossible to focus on all the stocks listed in NSE and BSE.
However, having a specific list of selected stocks allows us to take advantage of all trading opportunities on the day.
Step 4: Choose a stock to trade: Now, we have two ways to buy transactions: (1)
market orders and (2) limited orders. If we choose market order, we can buy and sell at the current market price. On the other hand, if we choose a limit order, we can choose our own quotation.
Step 5: Choose the order type: The next thing to choose is the order
type, such as ordinary system or MIS system. If we choose a limit order, the expected value will be the same as the current margin price. However, if we choose the MIS system, the threshold required for trading varies between 5% and 20% of the current stock price. Step 6: Check the order: You can check whether the order is pending or executed by clicking on the Order tab from the platform.
Step 7: Continuous monitoring: You must continuously monitor the current
market trends to take advantage of the opportunities for entering and exiting transaction at the right time.
