Step 3: Learn the Basics

Types of Trading

Intraday: Buy and sell on the same day

Swing Trading: Hold for days to weeks

Positional: Hold for weeks to months

Scalping: Very short-term trades (minutes)

Market Segments

Equity (Cash): Buy/sell shares directly

Futures & Options (F&O): Derivative contracts (requires higher capital and understanding)

Commodities: Gold, silver, crude oil (via MCX)

Currency: USD/INR, EUR/INR pairs

Step 4: Understand Key Concepts

What is a Lot Size?

In F&O trading, you trade in lots. For example:

Nifty 50 lot size: 25 units

Bank Nifty lot size: 15 units

Circuit Limits

Indian exchanges have circuit breakers:

Individual stocks: 5%, 10%, or 20% limits

Index-wide: 10%, 15%, 20% triggers

Settlement Cycle

T+1 Settlement: Trades settle the next business day (India moved to T+1 in 2023)

Step 5: Start with Paper Trading

Before risking real money:

Use virtual trading platforms to practice

Track your trades in a journal

Understand your emotional responses

Test your strategy with small capital first

Step 6: Build a Trading Plan

Every successful trader needs a plan covering:

Entry and exit criteria

Risk per trade (typically 1-2% of capital)

Daily loss limits

Time frames and instruments

Review process

Common Mistakes Beginners Make

**Trading without a plan**: Impulsive decisions lead to losses

**Over-leveraging in F&O**: Margin trading amplifies both gains and losses

**Ignoring risk management**: Not using stop losses

**Following tips blindly**: Social media tips without personal analysis

**Not maintaining a journal**: Missing patterns in your own behavior
