You Don't Need a Crystal Ball to Buy and Sell on the Same Day (Unless You Want One, It's Your Money)
Ah, the thrill of the intraday trade! Watching that stock price like a hawk, ready to pounce and make a quick buck (or rupee, seeing as we're talking Zerodha). But hold on there, buckaroo (or buckette), there's a slight wrinkle compared to your usual "buy and hold" strategy. Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood financial Robin Hood (minus the tights), will guide you through the wonderful world of intraday trading on Zerodha.

| How To Buy And Sell Shares On Same Day In Zerodha |
But First, Why Intraday?
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Maybe you're a maverick, a restless soul who craves the excitement of the market rollercoaster. Or perhaps you just saw a meme that convinced you to get rich quick (don't say we didn't warn you). Whatever your reason, intraday lets you buy and sell shares within the same trading day, potentially capitalizing on short-term price movements.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
The Magic Words: Intraday MIS
Here's where Zerodha comes in. For intraday trades, you'll need to use the Intraday (MIS) product type. Think of MIS as your "Mutual Intraday Support" system (though Zerodha might have a different definition). It basically allows you to buy and sell stocks within the day without them chilling in your demat account overnight.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Placing Your Bets (Responsibly, Of Course)
 |
Alright, you've got your MIS figured out. Now, how do you actually buy and sell? Don't worry, it's not rocket surgery (though if you are a rocket surgeon looking to trade stocks, more power to you). Here's a simplified breakdown:
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
- Find your stock: Zerodha's Kite platform is your oyster. Search for the stock you want to trade and get ready to mesmerize it with your charm (or at least a good buy order).
- Pick your poison (product type, that is): Make sure you select Intraday (MIS). This is where the magic happens.
- Buy and Sell with Gusto!: Enter the number of shares you want and the price you're willing to pay (or sell for). Then, hit that glorious buy or sell button and watch the intraday games begin!
Pro Tip: Don't Be a Meme-Fueled Lemming
While intraday trading can be exciting, remember: it's also risky. Do your research, understand the stock's history, and have a plan before you dive in. Don't just follow the herd mentality because some internet guru said so (unless that guru is actually a talking squirrel who consistently predicts the market, then maybe listen to the squirrel).
The End Result (Hopefully Not a Cliffhanger)
So, there you have it! You're now equipped to navigate the intraday waters of Zerodha. Remember, trading is a marathon, not a sprint (unless you're a day trader, then it's definitely a sprint). But with a dash of knowledge and a sprinkle of caution, you can make informed decisions and potentially turn a quick profit. Just don't blame us if you end up buying a lifetime supply of fidget spinners (hey, they might come back in style!).
