Are you looking to dive into the fast-paced world of intraday stock trading? In this article, we will explore various strategies, tips, and criteria to help you make informed decisions. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced trader, this guide will provide you with valuable insights to maximize your performance.

Working with a Financial Advisor

Before you start trading, it is highly recommended to consult a financial advisor. A financial advisor can assess your risk tolerance and investment goals, and provide personalized recommendations that suit your needs. They can also help you create a diversified portfolio that is less likely to be affected by market fluctuations. Visit the Investor.gov website for additional resources provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Simplest Strategy with High Accuracy

Here is a straightforward strategy that has shown remarkable accuracy:

Step 1: Check the Nifty direction. This means determining if it is moving Bullish (up) or Bearish (down). Step 2: Apply the strategy only when the Nifty is either Bullish or Bearish. Step 3: For a Bullish direction, find a stock that opens at the low price after 10:30 AM. Buy this stock with a stop loss at the low price minus 0.01 percent. Hold until 3:10 PM or until the Nifty changes to a Bearish trend. Step 4: For a Bearish direction, find a stock that opens at the high price after 10:30 AM. Short-sell this stock with a stop loss at the high price plus 0.01 percent. Hold until 3:10 PM or until the Nifty changes to a Bullish trend.

Wishing you all the best in your trading journey. Happy trading!

Criteria for Intraday Stock Buying

Understanding the right criteria for buying stocks is crucial for successful intraday trading. Here are some key factors to consider:

Liquidity: Ensure high volume transactions (more than 1 lakh). Mobility: Choose stocks trading above 10 Day Exponential Moving Average (DEMA). Gapped Down: Look for stock gaps down at the opening price and wait for 10-15 minutes to confirm if the low is sustained. If so, buy with day low as stop-loss. Bollinger Bands: Use Bollinger Bands with trendline confirmation. If stocks cross above the midline and break the trendline, consider buying it.
