Plan to trade in futures stock!! pls advise

hi day traders,

now i am intraday trader in NSE cash market, i plan to do intraday in futures stock,,,

In My view, the only difference for cash market and futures market is lot size..

in Cash market we can buy single qty , in future we can buy in lot size...


pls tell anyother difference between cash market and futures..

can i do daytrading in future stocks.

pls advise..

thanks

why futures only. ...why not options.????

why options only ?? why not mcx, commodity, US markets

thanks

then there is expiry factor also, if u r a swing trader. its not a big deal, its simply closing current month contract and opening next month contract.

Yes.. you can definitely do day trading in future stocks.

1. Future contracts have expiry date which is the last Thursday of every month whereas cash stocks don't have any expiry date.

2. If you invest in cash, you have to pay entire money but for future you have to pay only the margin amount decided by the exchange.

For example,If you want to buy ICICI Bank (lot size 250), you have to pay 58000 but in cash if you buy 250 shares, your investment amount will be (250*1453)=360000

3. You can short sell in future and carry-forward and you can day trade in equity but if you short sell in equity and you don't have a share in your demat account, you have to square off your position before the market closes for the day or you have to face auction.

Thanks...

hi amitrandive,

your quotes:-

"Preparation + Opportunity = LUCK"


is very good...!! i love it

I have tried both futures and options.....but I feel futures are better in many terms than options....to be successfull in both these instruments you need to know the direction of the market.

BUT I do agree that futures can burn a big hole in your pocket especially if you a re afresh in stock world (has happened to me) and since then I am learning and learning and learning...

And based on my experience I suggest futures but to be done with STRICT DISCIPLINE.

very thanks NARAYAN.

strict disciple in most important aspect in trading and in life.!!

thanks

My advice ........If you traded.....more than 3 yrs in cash (School )

market.....You can start future.......but never Future stocks.....(university) first try in Index (College)........after two years in index you can start stocks future....it's because of risk.....:thumb:
