What is intraday trading? Find a clear answer in this FAQ by 021 Trade.
Intraday trading is a type of trading in which traders buy and sell financial instruments, such as stocks or currencies, within the same trading day. The primary objective is to take advantage of small price movements that occur during the day in order to generate profits.
However, intraday trading can be risky because it requires quick decision-making and involves frequent trading. Many intraday traders use tools such as price charts and technical indicators to identify potential trade opportunities. While intraday trading offers the possibility of quick profits, it also requires proper risk management to minimize potential losses.
In case you do not square off your intraday position before the specified time (generally around 3:20 PM), the broker’s RMS (Risk Management System) team may automatically square off the position. In such cases, auto square-off charges along with applicable taxes may be applied by the broker.
