FAQ
Intraday trading refers to buying and selling stocks within the same trading day. Traders open and close positions before the market closes, aiming to profit from short-term price movements instead of long-term investing.
In intraday trading, no delivery of shares takes place because all positions are squared off on the same day. At ATS, traders get advanced tools, fast execution, and real-time market insights to trade efficiently.
