  • Intraday trading is a kind of trapping of the investors for some particular stocks with the hope of making some quick money. But to me, it is the most riskier part of the stock trading. The interesting feature of such negotiations lies in raking unimaginable profits say within a couple of minutes but the effect might be the opposite with the heavy losses otherwise.
    We are guided with Fear, Greed and Aggression in the process of Intraday Trading. Such operations would provide both heavy losses or amazing profits.
    Intraday Trading is a working pattern where the transactions are to be carried out on the same day. Here we are receiving benefits of both trends - buying and selling. If the price of the stock is bearish, we can sell it at a higher level and can buy them at a lower level known as short sell.
    The following aspects are to be understood in this context-
    1) Understand the market behaviour.
    2) Select Trading Strategy.
    3) Evaluate the individual risk appetite.
    4) Identify the risk taking behaviour.
    5) We should be familiar with the Economic, Industrial and International market situations.
    The prices of shares would depend upon some factors like fundamentals including Profit or Loss, Its quarterly results, Balance - sheets and other factors affecting directly or indirectly the performance of the companies.
    The Technical Analysis is to be evaluated so as to find out both supporting and resistance level of the stocks in order to garner handsome profits.

  • The intraday traders will have a focus on the following;

    1. Define Manageable risk: In intraday trading managing risk is very imprtant. Define the risk you can take. Cap the maximum and minimum risk you can take. You should have a set limit for a reduction in the capital in a day, in a week and in a month and under no condition you should not deviate from this. Stay out of trading if you are not able to get grip on the situation. Fix the maximum loss you can withstand.
    2. Learn from the mistakes committed: There are chances we may do some mistakes while trading. But don't repeat the same mistake. Wait while for a while and see the reasons for the losses. Try to understand the core reason and get corrected it. Never do the same mistake again.
    3. Operate the trading with a plan. Make a plan and execute the same.
    4. Study the behaviour of the traders recently. What is the recent high and what is the recent low and what is the position today? Take note of all these factors and then decide on the shares you want to trade.
    5. Don't go for some many shares. Limit companies.
    6. Don't get panic and plan the strategy based on the ground realities.
    7. Don't be greedy. When you have fixed a target and you got the profits as fixed, don't change your targets and don't go for further trading.

  • Intraday trading is not the everyone's cup of tea. It is done by those market players who have an experience in this arena and are well aware of the market moods and their movements in certain conditions. It is like a psychologist who knows how the mood of a person would change with circumstances and situations in life. So, the expert intraday market players can predict the mood of the market during the various hours of the trading time. They are in continuous touch with the news channels giving the political and financial conditions of the country and based on the data they take calculated risks. Many things help them in taking a good decision like announcement of some new policy or some routine seasonal policies by the RBI during the day. Foreign relations, world trade, sentiments in foreign markets and local perturbing factors all are taken in consideration by them in going for intraday buy/sell decisions. For example if at 1100 hours IST some foreign country announces to ban some imported items from India the intraday broker would unload some related shares from his kitty to take advantage to again buy them after 3-4 days when they go down due to the dissemination of this news in public. So, essentially the intraday trader is well aware of what is happening in India as well as world in respect of political and financial matters.

    Intraday traders not only consider the trends of a scrip but also see its inherent strength so that if due to some reasons the scrips are held with them before offloading them for a profit then they can keep them for the long term growths. So most of the intraday traders would like to trade in the so called blue chip companies where inherent risk of losing in long term is minimal. Please note that an intraday trader has to earn within the same day so he would like to avail all sort of options and hedging the loses to the minimal extent and try to limit his risks with options and futures by paying the upfront margins. It is imperative that the trader should have a clear understanding of these processes in the share market environment.

    Another interesting thing about such investors is that they would be perfect in settling deals simultaneously within a short span. For example if an intraday trader finds that a share is available for Rs 340 in the market and he finds that a particular broker wants to buy it for Rs 342 to give an already maturing delivery then the investor would settle both the deals almost simultaneously to make a cool Rs 2 on only one share. At the same time a lazy investor would not be able to do it as by the time he turns back to the Rs 340 offer it would have changed to Rs 345 at which price it is not a viable deal. So I have given one simple example to show the swiftness with which a intraday trader has to function. There are much more complex situations then that.

    The contracts in intraday trade survive on quick decisions and prompt responses. Only such people who have that type of potential to act in the market can really be benefited by it. One thing which is very important in this matter is one has to take positions as per one's capacity and if one falls in the grab of greediness then sometimes big losses might had to be suffered by the investor. One in hand is better than two in the bush.

    Knowledge is power.

The number of shares must be limited and set the limits of entry and exit price to avoid loss. We can sell the stock in morning and buy it back in the evening. This trading does not affect any delivery as the net position on the closing of the day will be zero.
