Kotak charges Rs. 500 on profit of Rs.800. How to make day trading work?

Hi,

I need your help in understanding if I am being charged correctly and how to make day trading work.

I recently purchased 100 shares of 'Bank of Baroda' at 730.5 and sold them 738.67. I thought I made a cool Rs. 800 minus a few rupees as Broker's fees.
It turned out that the broker's fees took a bite of over Rs. 500. and I received only Rs. 300 for taking all the risk!!

Step 1: Bought 100 shares of 'Bank of Baroda' at Rs. 730.5:
============================================================
Gross Rate: 730.5000
Brokerage rate per security: 1.4610
Net rate per security: 731.9610
Gross Value: 73050.00
Brokerage value: 146.10
Net settlement value: 73196.10

Other charges:
--------------
SERVICE TAX ON BROKERAGE 15.05
SERVICE TAX ON OTHER CHGS 0.75
STAMP & OTHER CHARGES 14.64
STT 91.00
----------
Final cost: 73317.54



Step 1: Sold 100 shares of 'Bank of Baroda' at Rs. 730.5:
===========================================================


(


Gross Rate: 738.6750
Brokerage rate per security: 1.4773
Net rate per security: 737.1977
Gross Value: 73867.50
Brokerage value: 147.73
Net settlement value: 73719.77

Other charges:
--------------
SERVICE TAX ON BROKERAGE 15.22
SERVICE TAX ON OTHER CHGS 0.76
STAMP & OTHER CHARGES 14.74
STT 92.00
----------
Final cost: 73597.05



Net profit: Rs. 279 Instead of theoretical Rs.800.



So I take risk of over Rs.70,000, make theroretical profit of Rs. 800 and The broker keeps Rs. 300, I lose another Rs.200 in taxes and other charges. And get to keep only Rs. 300.

How can I make this work?

how the heck is that daytrading since u have got 20 paisa brokerage.This is a delivery which u took and u took 8 rs profit on a 730Rs scrip how do u expect to make a decent profit.8rs moves can be seen intraday so if u take delivery make sure u swing trade for at least 2 weeks or more.

Your absolute gain was 1.11%.

Aditya 14 suggestion is spot on. Swing it more on positive side in delivery trade or else come and join future market.

Hello,

If you are have purchased and sold the shares on the same day then brorage is tooooooooooo high. If you have done delivery then that is fine.

For intraday trading brokarage should not be more than 73 rs for turnover of 73000 rs shares.

If you are intreseted in swing trading then I would recommed go for futures in which you will charged same as intraday but you can hold posistion from 1 day to till expiry date.

Happy Trading...
