Intraday stock trading has many merits then the long term investment some of them i have written below:

1) You will have to pay less Brokerage.

Following are the rules whihc an intraday trader should/can follow for minimising the risk of making a loss in share trading:

1) Donot overtrade beyond your financial capacity and donot hurry in making profits, always have some reserve money.

2) Diversify your intraday investments into different sector stocks, this minimises the risk, for example if a person had invested in IT stocks before recession started then he would have been worst affected by his decision.

3) You can follow the trend of the market to be more safe with the investment, These trends are started by the brokerage houses which passively control the working of the stock markets as a whole, thus you can follow what they say, but not blindly.

4) Dont be to greedy - In share markets and intraday trading you cant expect profit everyday, just invest inside your budget.

7) Do not average out in our share tips when market is not in favour. Limit your losses by keeping a stop loss order - Never cancel a stop loss order after you have placed it, otherwise you may loose more.

8) Intraday trading is more fruitful if you trade only in high volume stocks.

9) Focus on short selling instead of long term investment.

10) Follow your instincts and not thr rumours as rumours in stock markets are very dangerous for your hard earned money.
