Have you ever thought about why one stock might sell for Rs 200 and another for Rs 20? How do these prices get set? In this article, we'll talk about what intrinsic value is. What Does Internal Value Mean? The true value of a stock is called its "intrinsic value." This is calculated based on anticipated monetary benefits. Let's put it this way: it is the most you can pay for the asset without losing money when you sell it later. Technical analysis helps you figure out how the price of a stock will move and what price levels it may reach. But the price is still very closely tied to what the stock is really worth. So, technical analysis only helps figure out where and how much a stock's price will move. Prices have to start from somewhere before they can move in a certain direction. Say that the price of stock right now is Rs 300. Based on your technical analysis, it looks like it might go up to Rs 330. But how did the price of Rs 300 get there? There is a way to figure it out. Let's use the example of buying a house. The main reason for building this apartment is to rent it out. Let's say you want to keep it for 10 years. You shouldn't pay more than you can make from it. In other words, the total amount of rent you could get in 10 years plus the price you could get if you sold it after 10 years. The value found in this way would be the flat's true value. This value is adjusted for things like inflation and different kinds of risks to make sure it is correct. This will come up again in the section. The discounted cash flow model or the present value model is a way to figure out the true value of something. It can also be used to figure out what a stock is really worth. So, the bottom line is that a stock's "intrinsic value" is the total amount you could make from it in the future. The question then is: How much money can you expect to make in the future from shares? When you buy stocks, the company gives you a piece of its annual profit. We call this a dividend. If you add up the value of the dividends and the price at which the share will be sold in the future (called the "terminal value"), you can figure out what the share is really worth. However, does Rs 200 in dividends today have the same value as Rs 200 in dividends 10 years from now? The value of Rs 100 in ten years is less than the value of Rs 100 today. In other words, inflation makes money worth less over time. To account for this change in value, you will have to use a method called "discounting" on each future dividend. In this step, you will divide each of the future dividends by a certain rate and then add them all up. Add the values to get the intrinsic value. RELATIVE VALUE METHOD: Now, let's talk about the second way to figure out what a stock is really worth. This is done by comparing the price of the stock with one of the most important things about the company. Some key fundamentals include sales revenue, net income or profit (also called earnings), book value of equity shares, etc. When you buy shares of a company, you own a piece of the company's core assets. For instance, you might get a share of the company's sales or profits. This is because when you buy shares, you become a part-owner of the business. Now, it makes sense that you should always try to buy something at a good price and pay as little as possible. The less these shares cost on the market, the less you have to pay per unit to buy these fundamentals. Let's look at a specific case. The price to earnings (PE) ratio is one of the ratios you can use to compare prices. In this ratio, you compare the price of a company's share to how much it earns per share. If the price per share is Rs 300 and the earnings per share (EPS) is Rs 30, the PE will be Rs 10. This means that you pay Rs 10 for each rupee that the company makes. How do you know whether or not this price is fair? To find this, you must compare it to the PEs of the company's competitors. If, for example, the average PE of your competitors is 15, you are paying less for your shares. This is because you have to pay an average of Rs 15 per unit of earnings for a share of one of the competitors. But you only pay Rs 10 for your company. Because of this, this method is called the relative value method. You can also use this method to figure out how much a company's stock is really worth. By rearranging the formula for PE, you can see that the stock's real value is the sum of PE and EPS. Now, take the average PE of your competitors, which is 15, and multiply it by the EPS of your company, which is 10. This will give you the intrinsic value of your stock. It adds up to Rs. 150. This means that Rs 150 is a fair price for your stock. Since you can buy it in the market for only Rs 120, it is a great deal. You can buy it with the expectation that it will go up to this fair value. The relative value method is important because it uses both the fundamentals of the company and market trends to figure out how much a stock is really worth. This makes it more real, but also more likely to be wrong. If fundamentals change a lot in the future, your estimate of the stock's true value could be wrong.

Intraday trading often proves that taking fewer trades gives you better profits. Instead of buying and selling stocks the whole trading day, it might be smart to do intraday trading only during a few key hours. In fact, traders who work with stocks, index futures, and ETFs have found that it's better to spend one to two carefully chosen hours a day on trading. The ideal time-frame for intraday trading Long-term intraday traders will do well to find the best time frame. Using these hours can help you get the most done because they are when important things happen on the market. On the other hand, people who trade all day have little time for other things and don't make enough money. Even intraday traders who have been doing it for a long time can lose money if they trade outside of the best time frame for intraday trading. This raises the question: what is the best time frame for intraday trading? Most say that it is between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning. Should you buy or sell within the first 15 minutes? Intraday trading is best done in the first one to two hours that the stock market is open. But in India, most stock market trading channels don't open until 9:15 a.m. Why not start at 9:15 instead? If you have been trading for a long time, trading in the first 15 minutes might not be as risky. For people who are just starting out, it's best to wait until 9:30. This is because, in the first few minutes after the market opens, stocks are probably reacting to the news from the night before. A trade will often show sharp price movements in one direction. This is nicknamed the "dumb money phenomenon" because people rely on old news. Traders with a lot of experience may make some good deals in the first 15 minutes. They are mostly mean reversal traders. Beginners who have never heard of "dumb money" or the strategy that experienced traders use to fight against it will think the market is very volatile. So, it's better to wait until 9:30 than to jump in at 9:15. Trading at the open Not all moves are bad. After these first extreme trades, the market will have the right amount of volatility for beginners. Since this is the case, the best time to trade is between 9:30 am and 10:30 am. There are many benefits to intraday trading in the first few hours after the market opens: The first hour of the day is usually the most volatile, giving you plenty of chances to make the best trades of the day. The market is liquid enough to get in and out of during the first hour. Since there is more volume, liquid stocks are likely to be sold off faster. – It has been shown that the stocks bought or sold in the first hour make some of the biggest moves of the whole trading day. If you do it right, it can give you the best returns of any time during the trading day. But you should also prepare for large losses in the first hour due to volatility. – After 11 a.m., trades usually take longer and involve fewer people, which is bad for intraday traders who need to finish their deals by 3:30 p.m. If you need more time, it would be a good idea to keep this session going until 11 a.m. But day trading is a better fit for the strategy of only trading in the first hour. Think about the bigger picture. The range of 9:30 to 10:30 is not a rule that every trader must follow. It's good for beginners in general, but you can change it to fit your needs. It's smart to think about the bigger picture. For example, one strategy for intraday trading is to keep the day of the week in mind along with the best time frame. Monday afternoon is often a good time to buy on the market because prices tend to go down at the beginning of the trading week. Experts say that you should sell on Fridays, right before the drop on Monday. Also, not every trader needs to do something during that first hour. People who usually make more than one trade in a day can choose a shorter time frame. Intraday traders who only make a few trades each day can choose a longer time frame instead. Traders with a lot of experience may also change their time frame on different days, depending on how busy they are.

Researching stocks is not a long process, but it can take a beginner anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to finish the whole thing. A platform like Zebull Smart Trader for stock screening and fundamental analysis can help get the job done faster. Why should you look into stocks? Researching doesn't just mean reading about a company's founders and how it makes money. It takes into account all internal and external factors, such as the company's financial statements and how well it does in its industry and compared to its peers, among other things. I'm sure you spend a lot of time researching new gadgets (like a cell phone) before you buy them, so why not do some research before you buy a share in a company? How long should you spend researching? People have different ideas about how much time they need to spend researching stocks. Even so, the job is a lot easier now that there are platforms and tools for advanced screening and fundamental analysis. With just a few clicks and taps on your computer, you can get all the information you need about a company. But this isn't where the main part starts. Before you can start, you have to figure out which sector and industry you want to invest in. Once you know, the next steps will be a lot easier. You can use the "Top-down Method" to find a potential industry. With this method, you start with the economy and narrow your list down to one or two stocks of a potential industry. Let’s follow an example. Assume you have a good opinion of the IT Industry. There are a few things you can do to find the best stock in the industry. First, you need to look at the economy as a whole to see if the IT space is in a growth phase or not. Next, you can go straight to the specific sector (in this case, the IT sector) and try to narrow your search to an even smaller niche. To find these pieces of information, you might have to read business articles and analysts' predictions. If you have done this before, it shouldn't take more than a couple of hours. For a beginner, the same process could take an extra hour or more. In the same way, picking stocks isn't too hard because you can get all the financial information you need from fundamental analysis platforms like Zebull Smart Trader. The whole process could take anywhere from two to four hours, depending on how good you are at research and how far you want to go. After you've done a lot of research, you'll be left with a few high-quality stocks in your favourite industry that you can safely put your money into. What are your other choices? Now that you know how the task is done and how long it will take, you can save time if you still want to. Mutual funds are an easy way to invest because you don't have to do all the research and stock picking. Your job will be done by a person who is in charge of the fund. In the same way, you can invest in index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the whole Nifty50 or Sensex and give returns based on that. You can save the time you would have spent analysing stocks by using these.

Investing in an IPO can be a great way to build wealth with promising companies. However, if last year is anything to go by, IPOs can be extremely tricky to invest in. If you are purely investing in an IPO to benefit from the listing gains, we suggest that you find promising companies, apply to the IPO and sell your shares on the day that it gets listed. However, if you are a long term investor, you can hold on to your gains. In this blog, we'll talk about what an IPO is and the 10 Things to Check Before Investing in them. 1. Read the Red Herring Prospectus. A company files the Draft Red Herring Prospectus with SEBI when it wants to sell its shares to the public to raise money. This document explains how the company plans to use the money it gets from the public and what risks investors might face. So, people who want to invest in an IPO must read this document first. 2. Reasons for Raising Money: It's important to know what the company plans to do with the money it gets from the Initial Public Offering. One should find out if the company wants to pay off its debts or if it wants to raise money to grow the business, or use the money for other business purposes. This shows that the money will be used well in the business, which is a good sign for an investor. 3. Know the business model: Before investing in the Initial Public Offering, investors should know what kind of business model the company has. Once they know what kind of business the company is in, the next step is to find a new market opportunity. This is because the size of the opportunity and the company's ability to get a share of the market can make a big difference in the company's growth and shareholder returns. If investors don't understand what the company does for business, they shouldn't buy into its IPO. 4. Analyzing the background of the company's management and promoters: It's important to find out who runs the business since they are the company's backbone. Investors should look at both the people who started the company and the people who run it since both play important roles in how the company works. The company's management is a big part of what moves the business forward. One should look at the qualifications and length of time that the company's top management has been there. This gives an idea of how the company works. 5. The company's strengths and weaknesses: Before putting money into a company's IPO, you should do a SWOT analysis of the company. The DRHP can be used to figure out what the company's biggest strengths and weaknesses are. Investors should find out where the company stands in the industry it is in. People who want to invest in a business should try to learn as much as they can about the company and the strategies it uses. 6. The company's valuation: Investors should also check the company's valuation, since the offer price could be too low or too high depending on the industries it works in and its financial ratios. 7. The company's health: It's important to look at how well the company has done financially over the past few years to see if the company's sales or profits have been growing steadily. If the company's sales are going up, it might be a good idea to invest in its Initial Public Offering. Before putting money into an IPO, investors need to know how healthy the company's finances are. 8. Investment Horizon: An investor should know what their investment horizon is before putting money into an IPO. They should decide if they want to buy shares in the IPO just to trade them on the day it is listed or if they want to keep them for a longer time. The reason for this is that a trading strategy would depend on how the market is doing right now, while a long-term strategy would depend on how the company is doing in its core areas. 9. Comparable Peers: Investors should also look at who the company's competitors are. The DRHP compares the company to its peers in terms of both its finances and its value. Investors can look at how the company is valued compared to its peers to see if it is priced fairly. 10. The company's potential in the market: Investors should also look at the company's opportunities and threats in the sectors where it operates. This is important for long-term investors to determine if the investment is worth it.

A well-diversified equity fund, which is usually just called a "diversified equity fund," invests in companies of all sizes, no matter how big or small they are. Diversified Equity Mutual Fund: What is it? A diversified equity fund puts its money into companies of all sizes and in all industries. It spreads investments across the stock market so that investors can make the most money possible while minimising risk. Unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs), mutual funds, and other investment firms all offer them. There are many different types and sizes of companies on the stock exchange. 1)large caps 2)mid caps, 3)small caps. How does a fund with a wide range of stocks work? A diversified equity fund also invests in companies from different sectors and industries. So, it can take part in the growth of the whole economy and isn't tied to any one sector or industry. They can choose to put their money into businesses from - Pharmaceuticals Technology Engineering Automobiles Power/Services Services for banking and finance Gas and oil Simply put, a diversified equity fund invests in companies from different sectors, industries, and sizes of the market. Diversified equity funds, which include both ULIPs and mutual funds, are created so that investors can profit from the financial growth of companies of all sizes and in all industries and sectors. The rules for investing in ULIPs and mutual funds are different, and investors are told this in product literature and on company websites. Who does it work best for? Diversified equity funds can be helpful for investors who like stocks and have long-term goals like planning for retirement or saving for a child's education or wedding. They can be used on their own or as part of a portfolio with other investments.

Experts say that reading a company's quarterly earnings is an art that must be honed over time with careful and deliberate work. A company's quarterly earnings report is like an internal compass that shows how it is doing now and how it will do in the future. It also helps figure out how much the company is worth. Still, many regular investors still don't understand how a company's quarterly earnings work. How to read a company's quarterly results? What can you tell about the company from these results? Why do companies even bother to report their quarterly results? Security and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) rules say that every listed company must make its quarterly reports public. This is to protect the interests of investors. As an investor in a company, the quarterly results will help you figure out how the company is doing now and how it will do in the future. You can also tell from the quarterly result if you should invest in the company for the long term. The quarterly results of a big company could have a direct effect on the market for short-term investors or intraday traders. When a big company announces its quarterly results, the markets go up or down depending on the effect. How can you read results for a quarter? If you are a beginner you can focus on three main parameters of the report. These are the sales growth, debt to equity ratio and promoter holding. WIth an increasing sales growth and a high promoter holding, you can know that the company is doing well. Debt to equity ratio tells you whether the company has incurred more debt compared to the previous quarter. Gross sales Gross sales is the total amount of money a business makes in a certain amount of time. Gross sales that keep going up over time are a sign of growing demand and a healthy business. Net sales Gross sales minus discounts, returns, and allowances equal a company's net sales. When putting together the top-line revenues and the statement of income, net sales are often taken into account. This is a better measure of the health of a business than gross sales. Expenses and income Operating income is the amount of profit made by a business after operating costs like wages, depreciation, and the cost of goods sold are taken out. It shows how much money the company is making. On the other hand, other-than-business income is income from sources other than the business. It includes, among other things, dividends and rental income. A steady drop in operating income could mean that the company is losing market share or that fewer people want to buy its goods or services. Things to think about when writing quarterly reports Interest cost To run a business, the interest cost is the money paid for a loan amount. So, if the cost of interest goes up, it means that the company has more debt. What else should you look for in a quarterly earnings report? Investors should also look at things like net interest margins and non-performing assets when it comes to banks. Experts say that investors should also look at how much cash the company has on hand and how many shares have been pledged. Not every company may be declaring their pledged shares every three months. Investors should also look at the asset-liability statement, which shows half of the financial year when they look at the results for the next quarter. Why should investors pay attention to news about earnings? Earnings reports are often one of the most important things that move stocks. When big stocks report earnings, they can shake the market. When the earnings reports come out, the stock market could be at a record high or a record low. When a company's sales go up but it doesn't meet the analysts' expectations, people will sell their shares quickly. So, the report's estimates are also just as important as the report itself. Before analysing the quarterly reports, make sure to compare them with the previous year’s audited report as well. This will help you with understanding the projections for the upcoming quarter as well.

We all know that investing in stocks can be good because, if done right, it can give you a huge return. We buy our stocks from the companies listed only on the stock market. However, there are companies that are not listed on the market whose shares you can buy. These are called unlisted stocks. Many of us don't know that there are many benefits to investing in shares that aren't on the stock market. 1. Diversification of risk Unlisted shares have different risks than listed shares and can be a good addition to a portfolio of listed shares. They can be a good way to spread out your investments. Unlisted shares have the same or a better chance of making money than listed ones. There's a chance that these stocks will go public at some point in the future. When they do, there's a good chance that they'll go up a lot. But whether you buy listed or unlisted shares, it's important to look at the valuation metrics along with the price and buy stocks that are undervalued but have a good chance of growing earnings. 2. Undervaluation: Since most unlisted shares can't be sold quickly, they can only be bought by people who are willing to keep their money invested for a long time. Since there is less interest in these investments and fewer people want to join this community, the valuations are usually lower. There are many chances to invest in a stock that is undervalued. To find these opportunities, you need to be smart and know what to look for. For a beginner, it may be best to hire a professional who can give them the help they need. 3. Lower volatility Because the shares aren't easily sold, there are a lot fewer worries about their volatility. The standard deviation, which is a technical way of talking about how volatile something is, is much lower than listed shares. But if the wrong investment is made, the amount of money lost can be very high. Demand and supply for these stocks are not tracked every day, so the price would not change every day. When compared to listed shares, this investment will be less stressful in terms of money because the prices are fairly stable. How much should you spend on unlisted stocks? One should only buy unlisted shares if they are a good fit with the rest of their portfolio. Going overboard can make things a lot more dangerous. It is important to figure out your risk-appetite and how risky the investment is. Then, you can choose an investment that fits your risk profile. The risk of losing a lot of money in unlisted stocks is very high, so it's important to only buy as much as fits your risk tolerance. We suggest that if you are a beginner investor you should keep away from unlisted stocks but if you are an experienced investor, that you still take the help of a financial advisor before investing in unlisted stocks.

VaR and SPAN margins are related to every position you take in the stock market, especially if you trade in FnOs. But what exactly are they and how can you calculate them? Here’s everything you need to know. VaR is a way to measure the risk of a loss. Value-at-risk, or VaR, is a way to measure the downside risk or potential loss of a portfolio or investment over a certain amount of time. It helps analyse and estimate how much the minimum loss can be with a certain amount of confidence. Essentially, it is a number that tells you how risky a portfolio is. For example, VaR can tell us that an investor can expect to lose at least 2% of the total value of their portfolio on 1 out of every 15 days. So, it helps figure out how much money could be lost, how likely it is to lose that much money, and how long it could take. Statistical simulations can be used in a number of ways to figure out VaR. The risk management department of a company keeps a close eye on this parameter and tries to make sure that extremely risky trades are not taken. Margin SPAN On the equity markets, traders also need to have a certain amount of money set aside as "margin money" to help cover trade losses. But it is hard to guess how much of a margin is needed to cover all the losses if the market shows the worst-case scenario. As a result, the SPAN, which stands for Standardised Portfolio Analysis of Risk, is a standard way for traders to figure out how much margin money they need. When figuring out margin amounts for every single position, the SPAN system uses complicated algorithms and machine learning techniques. Each margin amount is equal to the most a single account can reasonably lose in a single trading day. It was made by the CME in 1988, and more than 50 exchanges around the world use SPAN as their official way to figure out how much margin they need. This margin is different for each security because each one comes with a different level of risk. For example, the SPAN margin for a single stock will be higher than that for an Index because single stocks are more risky and volatile. Risk management Every trader who is successful knows how important it is to manage risk, which is even more important than making money. With the help of VaR and SPAN calculations, a trader can keep a large number of contracts in their portfolio and stay away from serious margin calls. More brokers and financial institutions are now focusing on better ways to handle risks. Many of them require that, in addition to SPAN margin, which is collected when trades are started, an additional margin called Exposure margin to be collected to protect against liabilities caused by wild swings, rogue trades, or reactions to extreme stress in the market.

As Indian markets become more developed, it will change the stock market in a big way. Even though Algorithmic Trading has been around for a while in India, it is still in its early stages. Algos make up 70–80% of the global market volume and have many different structures, rules, and participants. In India, however, algos only make up 50–60% of the market volume and are simpler and less understood. Around 2010, algorithmic trading began in India, but at first, only Institutions and brokers used it. But now, thanks to the growth of digital discount brokers and API solutions, anyone in the retail market can make algorithms, and the possibilities are endless! Algorithmic trading is becoming more popular, and people are learning more about it and getting better at it. But even so, there is a lot of room for growth for Algos in India if you look at how they are used in other markets. Algorithmic trading is different in many ways. Not only does it give the trader the chance to make money, but it also makes trading more systematic by removing the effects of human emotions and mistakes. It also makes the market run better and have more money in it. The main reasons why algorithmic trading is better than manual trading are that it is faster, more accurate, and saves money. Algorithms can find patterns and trades in a fraction of a second, which is faster than humans can see. When a machine follows instructions that have already been set, accuracy and precision are good. Also, the algo keeps an eye on your orders all the time without you having to do anything, which cuts down on trading time and costs and saves you a lot of time. Most people are interested in algorithms that are used for systematic trading. Trend watchers, hedge funds, and pair traders find that it is much more efficient to programme their trading rules into software and then let the software trade on its own. But apart from that, Execution and Arbitrage are two large areas of trading where algorithms are used. Mutual funds, pension funds, and insurance companies use algorithms to split up their orders when they don't want their single, large-volume trades to affect stock prices. And there is arbitrage, which is buying and selling instruments that are highly related to each other to make consistent small profits from the spread and make the market work better. Then comes high-frequency trading, which means they trade every millisecond, or medium frequency, which means they trade every few minutes or even days. Trend following, also called momentum trading, and mean reversion, also called range-bound trading, are two other important types of algos. Smart Beta is a way to invest in market inefficiencies based on rules. It is becoming more popular in India. High-frequency traders use arbitrage and market-making, which is a way to trade on both sides of the range. Rules and the Way Forward: Along with the growth of markets, India is also changing its rules for Algorithmic Trading. SEBI has recently put out a consultation paper to make automated trading rules stronger and better for the end customer. Algos have had their fair share of problems, like the Colocation scam or the way some algo traders take advantage of people. But as the industry becomes more well-known, the inefficiencies would be fixed, and algorithms would change the markets by making them more efficient, fair, and data-driven. If you are looking for the best stock trading platforms? Then, we are here to help you. We make online stock trading easy with our best trading platform.

Algorithmic Trading is something that investors use in many different ways. Here are some of the most common. As an online share broker, we understand the need for an efficient online trading platformand we offer our customers just that. Also, get in touch with us for the lowest brokerage options. Rebalancing: Index funds constantly change their holdings to match the current market price of the asset they track. So, they give algo traders chances to take advantage of the trades that are expected and make money from the difference of 20–80 basis points. Most of these trades happen when an index fund rebalances are done through algorithmic trading. Trend Following: This is the type of algorithmic trading that algo traders do most often. In this process, they use moving averages, price changes, channel breakouts, etc. to make a set of instructions for the algorithmic trading software. Arbitrage: It is when you buy a stock at a low price in one market and sell it at a high price in another market at the same time. You make money from the price difference. Investors use data to find stocks that are trading at different prices and then use algorithmic trading to place buy and sell orders in both markets. Mathematical Model: Investors trade on the stock and derivative of the same underlying asset by using mathematical models that have been tested and shown to work. Since this can be a complicated set of trades, they use algorithmic trading to find these assets and place orders across different asset classes based on price changes. Mean Reversion: This strategy tries to take advantage of an asset's temporary highs and lows. If given enough time, the asset price will always go back to its average value (average price). VWAP: Investors use algo trading to set a price range for an asset and make sure it automatically buys or sells when the price goes in or out of that range. Investors seek to execute orders as close as feasible to the VWAP. With algorithmic trading, investors can break up large orders into smaller pieces that change over time and make sure their closing price goals are met. Please keep in mind that these are just a few of the strategies that you can use with algo trading. Apart from this, you can also trade breakouts, chart patterns and price actions as well.

An algorithm is the core of every computer programme and how it works. With the rise of new technologies, the effectiveness of almost every sector is based on this piece of logical coding. Algorithms use user data, patterns from the past, and a set of instructions that have already been decided on to reach their goals. In the financial world, the need to lower transaction costs is driving more people to want to use algorithms in everything from customer service to trading stocks. When you trade with algorithms you need to have a powerful technology to support you and we understand that. As one of the top brokers in share market, we offer the best trading accounts and the lowest brokerage for intraday trading. Algo-trading is the technology that changes the most quickly. It has amazing and smart features that make trading faster and better for market participants. Financial institutions like banks, brokerage firms, and investment funds use complex algorithms to open and close positions at lightning speed. This setup lets these institutions take advantage of small differences in real-time market conditions, which is harder to do manually. Algo-trading constantly watches markets and places orders when conditions match a set of parameters, such as volume, price, resistance, support, or any other factor that the trader or market participant is comfortable with. One of the benefits of algorithmic trading is that it can easily and quickly find a trend by using the data that is already available. If they can't analyse a large amount of data quickly, it's hard for market participants to act quickly. Market participants can also use more than one strategy at the same time and decide what the net result of the strategy will be. Let's look at an example to see what I mean: if a market participant has used 10 different strategies on one stock, the system will suggest other ways to trade that stock. If 7-8 of these 10 strategies give buy signals, the trader will buy the stock. Most of the strategies are giving buy signals, so it makes sense to think that the strategy will be good. Algo trading uses technology and computers to make trade decisions, which can be hard for traders who don't know much about the financial markets to do on their own. Trading automation is a great way to try out different strategies and automate boring tasks to get results faster. Also, the use of algorithms in financial services is likely to create growth opportunities in the near future that will be very profitable. There is no doubt that algorithmic trading will be used more often, especially now that platforms exist to make complex technologies easier for everyone to understand. When trading with algorithms you need to have a powerful technology to support you and we understand that. As one of the top brokers in share market, we offer the best trading accounts and the lowest brokerage for intraday trading.
