Intraday Trading (Day Trading)

Buy and sell within the same session using MIS. Brokers offer up to ~5× margin on equities.

Unclosed MIS positions are auto square-off between 15:15–15:20 with an additional fee.

Swing Trading

Capture multi-day moves using CNC or normal F&O codes. Requires 100% capital for delivery equities — no intraday margin liquidation risk.

Analyze daily charts after hours; ideal for traders with full-time jobs.

Delivery Trading

Long-term ownership via CNC; shares settle T+1 to NSDL/CDSL. Investors earn dividends, bonus shares, and voting rights.

Zero leverage — even a 50% crash leaves you owning the same share count to ride recovery cycles.

Knowledge check

MIS long opened at 10:00 AM; at 15:25 PM still down 2% and you want to hold overnight. What happens?
