Can you make money out of it?

Is it possible to take advantage of arbitrage for intraday? How about short delivery scenario?

Most of these are illiquid in BSE. Check the market depth of JSWHL - bid is at 3722 and offer is at 3887. You are unlikely to make any money on these scrips. Also, when NSE reopens, the prices will converge and nullify the difference.

Yeah man. I just ran a script to find it without liquidity considerations. But, few of them are good on liquidity front - MAYURUNIQ, HSCL … from top 3. Besides … you only need 1 or 2. :wink:

Disclaimer: No Recommendations!!

Have no precedent how the exchange will open or if it will open at all today. If there is any kind of pre-opening session to match prices (today and de facto 9:00 - 9:15 tomorrow) … there is almost no possibility to make sizeable money. If not … maybe Zerodha Basket can come handy.

Logically, I suppose - if you mean MIS EQ, I think the broker can clear with BSE, If you mean, MIS FnO, broker will clear it on next available session (even tomorrow - opening). If you mean, CNC EQ, Exchange auction with delivery or cash on T+3, doesn’t matter whose fault it is.

You should instead be looking for unusual volume spikes in BSE (possibly a big position getting squared off). Check MUTHOOTFIN candle at 2:27 pm when it dropped from 1280 to 1211. A few minutes later it is at 1300.

Hmmm. Sth odd definitely happened in MUTHOOTFIN. But it is very hard to trade this for nobody knows / publishes outstanding share information (marked for intraday) and sth like delivery % (which may help) - one only comes to know at EoD. Volume spikes is typically post event/big order, maybe for swing traders, but more often than not, in volatility whipsaws - you lose money.

Arbitrage, is more plain vanilla and easy to trade. Assuming BSE price is the current correct price, as you said things will move towards each other unidirectionally unless difference is nullified. But, then again - very short lived.
