A STUDY INTO THE VARIOUS STRATEGIES IMPLEMENTED BY INTRADAY EQUITY MARKET TRADERS
Abstract
Buying and selling stocks and other financial instruments during the same day is known as intraday trading, or day trading. Stated differently, intraday trading occurs when all positions are settled before the market closes and the trades do not result in a change in the ownership of any shares. The benefit of intraday trading is that should one predict a decline in the instrument's price, they can also short-sell the instruments to settle the trade by the end of the day. When trading positions, this is not feasible. Since they can see the money at the end of the day, many individuals are switching from positional to intraday trading. Until recently, day traders were thought to be the exclusive purview of financial institutions and experienced traders. However, with the rise in popularity of leverage trading and electronic trading, this has changed. This study attempts to investigate and provide three such successful tactics that can be utilized for intraday trading primarily in stocks, futures, and options. While many individuals and organizations have adopted many strategies to boost their profitability in day trading, this study focuses on these three strategies. Its goal is to provide entry and exit positions for traders who have a favourable risk-to-reward ratio.
