Day trading is not always a failure. Make sure you observe the market for few stocks consistently. Mark its progress and the fashion in which it is moving. Don’t hurry since the market won’t go anywhere.

Don’t go too much technical. Observe the trend and pattern till 9:30 and start doing intraday after/between 9:30 to 10:00 AM.

you are sounds like a kid bro

day-trading always depends on speed 

EX: if you want to bye then 1.stock need to open high as compare to P.close 

2.stock need to loser in p.day should open high as compare to P.close 

don't expect more than .5% to 1% profit always increase your sl-tp 

don't lose .25% to .5% if you are wrong 

"TRY TO FOLLOW TREND " BULLISH need to bye , bearish need to short 

try this for 10 days and post experience ALL THE BEST MY FRIEND

It sounds like you are new to trading. I would recommend you to start off with holding shares ie. go for delivery and then graduate to day trading as and when you get the hang of the market.

Hi Mr.Sureshramaswamy,

Day trading is all about momentum and nothing else. You need some way to identify stocks with momentum. Though a knowledge of technicals surely helps, it is not completely fool proof. You should always rely on combination of technicals and not on a single one. You need to devise your own methodology and test it by paper trading before entering the real market. If you are a intra-day stock futures trader keep the following as base and then supplement with further value-additions:

  1. Stock selection for trading intra day futures:

    a) Do not trade during the first half an hour of the opening.

    b) By 10.00 am you will definitely have a fair idea about the general trend or atleast the market sentiment. This is a function of prev day DJIA performance, current day’s Asian markets performance, etc.

c) If general sentiments appear to be positive, look for stocks with momentum that can be gone long. Similarly if sentiments appear to be negative, look for stocks with momentum that can be gone short.

d) Now comes the crucial aspect of identifying stocks with momentum (bullish and bearish). At 9.50am to 10am, go to the market watch section of exchange’s website and find out stocks which have the following characteristics :

i) Open price is the lowest price / near lowest of the day so far. (indicates bullish trend with momentum)

ii) Open price is the highest price / near highest of the day so far. (indicates bearish trend with momentum)

The above can be easily automated in excel by downloading the excel link from the exchange’s website. If the general sentiments appear to be positive, focus of item i) else focus on item ii). If the general market trend is directionless and range bound focus on a combination of i) and ii). Few more parameters can also be supplemented to i) and ii) to confirm the momentum.

e) Last but not the least is discipline. Have a strict SL depending upon your risk appetite. If you are in profit do not hesitate to book it as greediness is the biggest enemy of a trader. If you are in loss, SL will take care of your exit. Do not overtrade.

Hope the above helps.

There are only TWO elements in YOUR trading - 1) The charts about which you already know. 2) You.

Now stay focused and develop the second element.

Good Luck.

Gud suggestion Scorpiomanoj… Here is a small google sheet to capture the open=high/low, but cant guarantee the availability of live data from google -

Hi friend, live data is available at , http://www.nseindia.com/live_market/dynaContent/live_watch/equities_stock_watch.htm
Nifty 50 and nifty midcap 50 are available. It gets updated frequently. Ensure you refresh the sheet using the round arrow given in the page before use. It can be downloaded in excel too. One can download in excel and apply the aforesaid simple algo. If one needs wide variety of fno stocks, one can use the bse market watch page which updates all stocks traded during the day and which can be downloaded in excel too. One can use this and filter only fno stocks using some methodology. In any case this appears to be a good strategy atleast as per my experience.
