what is a low float stock and how to identify it?

The concept is explained clearly here:

The Float of a stock is identified from the Share holding pattern as published by each company in the nseindia records.

Ideally any F&O stocks with float less than 20 crores quantity is considered as a low float stocks.

Some Momentum day-traders prefer to prioritize low float stocks for daytrading.

You can compile your own share float list from the shareholding records of each company or use a low float stock screener.
