Intraday trading refers to buying and selling the same stock on the same day. The goal is to capture short term price movement rather than long term growth.
For example, if a stock opens at ₹200 and moves to ₹205 during the day, an intraday trader may buy at ₹200 and sell at ₹205. The trade is closed before market close, and no shares are held overnight.
Intraday trading relies on price action, volume, and technical indicators. Traders often use margin, which magnifies both profits and losses.
Because of fast price movement and leverage, intraday trading carries higher risk. Proper stop loss placement and position sizing are essential for capital protection.
