You and Your Intraday Dreams: Conquering Zerodha Like a Boss

But before you dive headfirst into this thrilling rollercoaster, there's the small matter of knowing how to navigate the beast – Zerodha, in this case. Fear not, dear trader-to-be, for this guide will be your Yoda (minus the pointy ears and questionable fashion choices).

| How To Buy And Sell Intraday Shares In Zerodha |
Signing Up: A Journey of Clicks (and Maybe a Selfie)
First things first, you'll need a Zerodha account. Download the Kite app (their fancy trading platform) or head to their website. Signing up is like online shopping – a breeze! Just fill in some details, maybe take a selfie (because who doesn't love a good selfie?), and voila! You're in the intraday game.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
But wait! This game requires capital. Unlike free candy samples, you'll need to add some moolah (money) to your account before you can buy shares.
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.
Understanding the Lingo: Not Your Average Word Salad
Now, Zerodha throws around terms like "CNC" and "MIS" like they're going out of style. Don't worry, they're not some secret handshake. Here's the skinny:
Tip: Scroll slowly when the content gets detailed.
- CNC (Cash & Carry): This is for the long haul (not intraday). You buy shares and they settle in your Demat account like trophies on your mantelpiece.
- MIS (Margin Intraday Square Off): This is your intraday buddy. You borrow money from Zerodha to buy shares, but you gotta square it off (buy or sell) before the market closes. Think of it as a library book – borrow, use, return by closing time!
Pro Tip: When placing an order, you'll see this magical button called "product." Click it and choose MIS for your intraday adventures.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.

Buying and Selling: May the Intraday Force Be With You
Alright, let's get down to business! Here's how to buy and sell shares like a seasoned pro:
- Find your prey (aka stock): Use the search bar to find the share you want to conquer.
- Decide your fate (buy or sell): Do you see a share price going up like a rocket? SMASH that buy button! Feeling a price drop coming on? Click sell and make a strategic retreat (because sometimes cutting your losses is the bravest move).
- Quantity and Price: How many shares do you want to snag, and at what price? Be your own financial Robin Hood – aim for the best price possible!
- Order Type: Here's where things get fancy. You can choose a market order (buy/sell at the current price) or a limit order (buy/sell only at a specific price or better).
Remember: Intraday trading is a battlefield. Do your research, have a plan, and don't get caught up in the heat of the moment.
And the Most Important Lesson: Don't Panic!
The market can be a fickle beast. There will be ups, there will be downs, and there will definitely be moments where you want to throw your phone out the window. But stay calm, assess the situation, and remember – even the great Zerodha can't control the market.
This guide is just your launchpad. There's a whole universe of intraday trading knowledge out there. So keep learning, keep practicing, and most importantly, keep it fun! May your intraday dreams be filled with profit and prosperity (and maybe a little less chai).
