I know that we can buy a scrip and hold for some days for profit. But can we do the reversal, i.e., can we sell a stock and hold for a few days and buy for profit? please clarify.

Hi , you can’t do like that in equity , only you can buy a stock in delivery basis ( CNC in zerodha ) and hold for profits , cant sell a stock in delivery basis , or you can sell a stock in intraday basis ( MIS in zerodha ) , ie sell at morning and should be closed at or before 3.20

Thanks for clarificatioin.
What is this futures? Can we do sell first and buy later after a few days as questioned before in futures? If so, what is the procedure?

NO NO NO , looks like you are not prepared for trading in futures ,my opinion / advise , dont think about entering in Futures trading at this stage , first learn trading with small capital in equity , dont be hurry to trade in futures :mask: , again telling dont enter futures , first learn in equity , whenever you get confidence then enter in fututres .

It would be better if you would start with mutual funds.

you can, in the SLB segment. But liquidity is very very poor.

They should remove ban on short selling, but govt’s are scared. So not gonna happen.
