Short-term trading entails. intraday trading, where you buy and sell stocks within a single trading day. It could also include trades where the period between buying and selling ranges from a few days to a few weeks.

(2) When to sell it

How do you get your share market timing right? Here are some tips:

  • Assess how stock prices are moving: Observe the price movements for a few weeks. Once you understand the patterns, deciding when to buy and sell becomes easier.

  • Monitor the share market live: Invest in stocks or sectors that show positive movements. Reduce your exposure if you’re expecting major declines.

  • Evaluate the average price: This informs you how the stock has performed over the years. Usually, good stocks show an average that slopes upward on a graph.

  • Diversify your portfolio to spread the risk: That way, if one set of stocks performs poorly, there will be other stocks that do well. So, your portfolio will still generate an income.

  • Avoid emotion and bias while investing: Do thorough research on the track record, earnings, and growth prospects of a company. This will help you to make informed trading decisions.

  • Set up a stop loss: For instance, you may decide to sell a stock if its price declines 15% below your purchasing price. This could reduce your potential losses over time.

Bottom-Line
