When you buy a stock, it is up to you to decide what you want to do with it. You may keep it for the next decade if you like, or sell it on the same day. Both options have their own benefits, but if you’re going to be closing your position on the same day, there are some intraday trading tips you should know.
Key Points
As the name suggests, Intraday Trading is the process of buying and selling stocks on the same day. Basically, you buy stocks on daily basis, you look for a reasonable price to sell it and then earn your profit. While it looks like the easiest way towards big money, the adage “all that glitters is not gold” still holds true. There are some hidden complexities that might make you lose your path in this seemingly simple venture. Learn how to perform intraday trading here [link to article #82], and then take a look at a few steps down below that could help you trade well.
It is advisable to look for liquid shares for Intraday Trading. As the trader needs to square-off their position at the end of the day, it is better to go for large cap shares. Otherwise, you might have to hold the stocks due to lack of trading volumes. Here are some more tips and tricks for intraday traders.
Stop Loss is a feature that enables automatic selling of a stock, if the price falls below a certain limit. It is beneficial for traders as it minimises the potential loss that could occur.
It is as necessary to book your profit as it is to minimise your loss. Stop your greed from controlling your decisions. At the same time, don’t let fear stop you from pulling the trigger on trades. Look for a targeted amount to trade on any particular day. Do not put all your money in at once.
Look for all the technicalities before buying your shares, such as dividends, stock splits, bonus dates, mergers, etc. It is advisable to add 8 to 10 shares in your wish list and research in-depth about them.
Do not try to move against the flow of the market. Even the people who have been trading for over a decade fail to explain and predict the situation of the market. If the market goes against your expectations, you should know when to walk out.
