What is the difference between MIS and CO orders?

MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off) is a flexible intraday product — you can place market or limit orders, modify stop-losses, and adjust positions freely. CO (Cover Order) is a bracket-style order with a mandatory stop-loss attached at entry, which gives you slightly higher leverage in return for less flexibility. Most active traders use MIS.

Intraday Stock Tips & Analyst Calls — NSE / BSE

Same-day buy/sell recommendations with entry, target and stop-loss, curated by SEBI-registered ATS research analysts for NSE and BSE day traders.

What this page gives you

This page is a live, daily-updating list of intraday equity recommendations published by the ATS Share Brokers research desk. Every call carries a clear bias (Buy or Sell), a recommended entry zone, two target levels, and a stop-loss — everything a day trader needs to act on the same trading session the call goes live in.

We publish these calls before or near the start of the NSE and BSE trading session (09:15 IST) so they are usable inside a single market day. The data table you see above is the same dataset our analysts use internally — no marketing-only screen, no curated highlight reel.

Who this page is forActive day traders who use MIS / CO product types on NSE and BSE, intraday F&O scalpers cross-checking equity strength, and learners studying how a research desk frames same-day setups with risk-reward.

What is intraday trading?

Intraday trading means buying and selling the same stock within a single trading session. In India, the NSE and BSE equity cash market opens at 09:15 IST and closes at 15:30 IST, with intraday positions auto-squared-off by your broker around 15:15 IST if you have not closed them yourself. There is no overnight delivery and no settlement of shares to your demat account — you only realize the price difference (P&L) between your entry and exit.

Brokers offer specific product types for intraday: MIS (Margin Intraday Square-off) and CO (Cover Order). Both apply higher leverage than delivery (CNC) trades because the position is short-lived. SEBI peak margin rules now require upfront SPAN+Exposure margin even for intraday equity positions, so leverage is real but lower than it used to be a few years ago.

Intraday vs delivery in one line

In delivery you buy a share, T+1 settlement moves it into your demat account, and you hold it for as long as you like. In intraday you never own the share — you settle the price difference inside the same session.

How ATS analysts pick intraday calls

Our intraday selection process runs in three stages, every market morning:

Pre-market screen (08:30–09:15 IST): we scan the SGX Nifty / GIFT Nifty cue, US closing, Asian open, crude, DXY and any overnight news. Stocks with material news are flagged.
Opening-print read (09:15–09:30 IST): we observe gap behaviour, opening-range high/low, and volume thrust on the first 5–15 minutes. Stocks that respect a clear level enter the shortlist.
Setup match (09:30–10:30 IST): shortlisted names are matched to a specific technical setup — VWAP reclaim, opening-range breakout, supertrend flip, or sector-leadership trade. The call is published only when entry, target and stop-loss can be defined cleanly.

We also weight F&O open-interest build-up and sector heatmap colour. A stock breaking out without F&O OI confirmation, or breaking out against its sector, is treated with extra caution.

How to read the table above

Column	Meaning
Ticker	NSE/BSE symbol of the stock the call is on
View	Buy = expect price to rise; Sell = expect price to fall (short)
Entry	Recommended price zone to initiate the trade
Target	First profit-booking level — partial exits begin here
Stop-loss	Risk-defining level — exit immediately if breached
Time horizon	Always intraday — squared off by 15:15 IST

A call where the entry is above the current market price (CMP) is a buy-on-breakout setup. A call where entry is below CMP is a buy-on-dip setup. The opposite logic applies to sell calls.

Risk management for intraday trading

Intraday is leveraged. The single most important rule a day trader can follow is the 1% rule — never risk more than 1% of trading capital on a single intraday idea.

Position size formula:

Position size formulaQuantity = (Capital × 1%) ÷ (Entry − Stop-loss)
Example: ₹2,00,000 capital, entry ₹500, stop-loss ₹495 → Quantity = (2,00,000 × 1%) ÷ 5 = 400 shares max.

Never widen your stop-loss after entry. Move it tighter as the trade works in your favour, never looser.
Square off losers fast — letting a 0.5% loser become a 3% loser destroys the maths of the 1% rule.
Trail your stop-loss to entry once Target 1 is hit, so the trade becomes risk-free.
Avoid taking new entries after 14:45 IST — auto-square-off is at 15:15 and slippage rises into the close.
Stop trading for the day after 2 consecutive losses. Forced revenge trades destroy more accounts than bad calls do.

Tools and charges that matter

For an intraday equity trade in a discount-broker MIS product, expect:

Brokerage: typically ₹20 per executed order or 0.03% (whichever is lower) on each side.
STT: 0.025% on the sell-side turnover only.
Exchange transaction charges: ~0.00345% (NSE) / 0.00375% (BSE) on turnover.
SEBI charges: ₹10 per crore of turnover.
Stamp duty: 0.003% on buy-side turnover.
GST: 18% on (brokerage + transaction charges + SEBI charges).

Use the ATS brokerage calculator before sizing a trade — total round-trip cost on a typical intraday trade lands at roughly 0.05–0.10% of turnover, which directly eats into your edge.

Common mistakes day traders make with these calls

Entering at any price instead of waiting for the published entry zone — chasing prints destroys risk-reward.
Skipping the stop-loss altogether or moving it after entry — turns a 0.5% loser into a 5% loser.
Doubling the position size on "high-conviction" calls — single-trade outsized loss is the #1 cause of blown accounts.
Trading every published call — discipline means picking the 2–3 best setups that match your style and skipping the rest.
Ignoring market regime — even good intraday setups fail in choppy, range-bound, low-volume sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hit-rate of intraday calls varies by market regime. In trending months our internal tracking shows 60–65% of calls hit Target 1 before stop-loss; in choppy or news-heavy weeks that drops to 45–55%. The honest answer is published on the Analyst Performance page — we report both winners and losers.

Practically, ₹25,000–₹50,000 is a reasonable starting point. Less capital and the per-trade fixed brokerage (₹20/order × 2) becomes too large a drag relative to your daily P&L. SEBI does not mandate a minimum, but the 1% risk rule combined with realistic stop-losses requires capital that supports meaningful position sizes.

Brokers force-close MIS positions before the 15:30 close to avoid carrying overnight margin obligations on a product that was never funded for delivery. If you want to hold past 15:15 you must either convert to CNC (delivery) before the cut-off — which requires full delivery margin — or use a positional product like NRML.

Yes — most brokers allow MIS-to-CNC conversion before the auto-square-off cut-off, provided your account has the full delivery margin. You will be charged delivery brokerage on the converted leg. After conversion, the trade settles T+1 and shares hit your demat account.

Honestly, no — not on day one. We strongly recommend new traders paper-trade these calls (track them without real money) for at least 4–6 weeks first. Intraday compresses learning into hours and amplifies mistakes through leverage. The discipline of position sizing, stop-loss respect and trade selection is what separates profitable day traders from the rest.
