stock price on the same day.

Leveraging: This means borrowing money from your brokers to increase your purchasing
power and increase potential investment returns. For example, you can take advantage of
leverage in intraday trading for greater exposure while paying a fraction of the open position.
Use it wisely because where there is more benefit in it, there can be more loss.

Stop loss: Stop loss during trading can save a person from a huge loss. It is a facility with
which a trader can reduce or stop his loss if any. When placing a buy and sell order, the trader
can place a "stop-loss order" with a certain price and if the trade goes the opposite according to
the individual's assessment and the stock price hits that certain price, The order gets
automatically executed which protects the trader from extensive losses.

So, never forget to put a stop loss on your selected trade.

can make good trades without the help of indicators. They play a vital role for everyone from
beginners to advanced traders, Especially when it comes to technical analysis, it is impossible

Best intraday trading strategies

And this type of situation arises when news acts as a catalyst. Many intraday traders are in a search for such stocks and place bets on them, assuming that the gap will close by the end of the day. This strategy is great for the person who wants low but quick profits and does not want to bear much risk. Now the question must arise in your mind:

How do you know if the stock is gap up or not? 

The best way to know whether a stock will gap up or not is to use a stock scanner. We recommend that you scan the pre-market each morning for stocks with a minimum gap-up of 3% and a premarket volume of 100,000+ also, filter and value any stocks with news triggers.

1. Momentum trading strategy
   Momentum trading strategy is all about the market trading in the right direction and right momentum, In this strategy before significant changes occur in market trends, investors choose the right stocks and invest accordingly. Stock selection is facilitated by news reports relating to the stock which can move the graph up or down. The role of an intraday trader is to study such news before the market becomes available for investment and then trade accordingly. An intraday trader needs to remember that due to external factors the data will either go up or may go down, A quick decision has to be taken as to the investment. Depending on the speed of market direction, investors can hold security for minutes, hours, or even for more time. The momentum trading strategy is great, but investment needs to be accelerated as soon as the news comes out. Further, the time for holding the securities is entirely based on these market trends and analysis, which are closely followed every day and have to be delivered at the right time while making the right decision.
    
2. Breakout trading strategy
   It is a type of momentum trading that requires, in this trading strategy, timing plays a crucial role when making trading decisions. It includes identifying threshold points and
   when stock prices move above or fall below a specified time frame. In this, if the trend continues to propel prices above the threshold point, investors buy the stock and take long positions. Besides that, if the selected stock prices fall below the threshold point, the investor takes a short position or sells the stock. The basic thinking treatment behind the breakout trading strategy is that if prices exceed the threshold, they will be more volatile and remain trending.
    
3. Gap and go strategy
   This is a very popular trading strategy among intraday traders, it is used when the stock
   gaps up or gap low from the previous day's close price.
   1. Gap up: The term gap up means that the price of the selected stock opens
      higher than the previous day's close price of the same stock.
   2. Gap down: The term Gap down means that the price of the stock opens lower
      than the previous day's close price.
       
4. Moving average crossover strategy
   A moving average crossover is a type of indicator that is often used in price charts to
   represent a price trend, many investors use them as their primary analytic tool While
   others simply use them as confidence drivers to support investment decisions.
   
   Let's understand the uptrend and downtrend.
   Uptrend: When the price goes above the moving average it is known as the uptrend.
   Downtrend: If the price falls below the moving average, then it is referred to as a downtrend.
   
   The key to the moving average crossover strategy is to select such stocks at the right
   time and these can be acted upon with the help of catalysts, such as news about
   stocks, directly or indirectly.
    

Note: If you are trading then keep this in mind that none of any strategies gives
you a 100% profit guarantee but yes you can definitely reduce your chances of
loss to a great extent by simply applying them. And also for getting more profit
you should have a good understanding of these strategies and by practicing
them regularly you can be a good trader.
