Intraday trading means buying and selling a stock within the same trading session (9:15 AM – 3:30 PM IST on NSE). Unlike swing trades or investments, intraday positions must be squared off by end of day — or they get auto-squared by the broker.
The Entry Range is the price zone where you initiate the position. A good intraday stock tip from a SEBI RA includes an entry range — not an exact price — because markets are dynamic. If a stock has already moved 2% past the entry range before you act, you skip the trade. Chasing is the #1 mistake in intraday trading.
The Target Price is where you exit with profit. For NSE intraday picks, targets are typically 0.5% to 2.5% from entry depending on the stock's Average True Range (ATR). Multiple targets allow partial profit-booking. Target 1 is conservative; Target 2 is if momentum continues.
The Stop-Loss (SL) is the most important number in any intraday call. It is the price at which you admit the trade is wrong and exit to protect capital. A strict stop-loss at 0.5–1% limits damage from any single bad trade. Without a stop-loss, one losing trade can erase weeks of gains.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio: Only take intraday trades where potential reward is at least 2x the risk. If your SL is 50 points on Nifty, your target should be 100 points minimum. This is why SEBI registered analysts like Sahib Singh Hora publish the full rationale — not just a stock name.
Position Sizing: Never risk more than 1–2% of your total capital on a single intraday trade. If your trading capital is ₹5,00,000, maximum risk per trade = ₹5,000–10,000. If your stop-loss is 1% on the stock, your position size = risk amount / SL% = ₹10,000 / 1% = ₹10,00,000 worth — which is too large. Position size accordingly.
