Intraday trading

Intraday trading means opening and closing positions within the same trading session.

MIS and cover-order products are commonly used for intraday equity trades in India.

Positions left open may be auto squared off by the broker near market close.

Margins for intraday are usually lower than for delivery but can change with volatility.

Intraday profits and losses are realised the same day for cash-market square-offs.
