Q & A

What is the concept of Power of Attorney in stock market trading?

The Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives a broker the authority to execute buy or sell orders on behalf of the investor. It is an important concept during the account opening phase of trading.

What is the difference between a market order and a limit order?

A market order is executed immediately at the current market price, while a limit order is only executed when the stock reaches the specified price. In a limit order, you set a specific price to buy or sell.

What is a stop-loss order, and why is it important?

A stop-loss order is used to limit losses by automatically triggering a sell order when the price falls to a specific level. It helps investors control their losses if the market moves against their position.

What is the difference between stop-loss limit and stop-loss market orders?

A stop-loss limit order triggers when the stock price hits the stop-loss level but only if the stock can be sold at the limit price or better. A stop-loss market order triggers at the stop-loss level but is executed at the best available price, even if it is worse than the stop-loss price.

What are intraday and delivery positions in stock trading?

Intraday positions involve buying and selling stocks within the same day, with the goal of profiting from short-term price movements. Delivery positions involve buying stocks and holding them for a longer period, transferring them to your Demat account.

What is an AMO (After Market Order)?

An AMO is an order placed after market hours, typically after 3:30 PM. It gets executed the next day when the market opens, allowing investors to place orders outside trading hours.

What is a cover order, and how is it different from other types of orders?

A cover order is a more disciplined order type where you set both a buy price and a stop-loss at the same time. It is more suitable for short-term traders as it helps manage risk by ensuring the stop-loss is defined upfront.

What does 'One Cancels Other' (OCO) mean in stock trading?

OCO is an order type where you set both a target price and a stop-loss price. If one of the prices is hit, the other order is automatically canceled. This ensures that the investor doesn't hold both the target and stop-loss orders simultaneously.

What is the significance of Time in Force (TIF) options like Day Order and IOC?

TIF options define how long an order is valid. A Day Order is valid only for the current trading day and gets canceled if not executed by market close. IOC (Immediate or Cancel) requires the order to be executed immediately or canceled without any waiting period.

Why is it important to research before placing an order in the stock market?

Researching before placing an order helps you understand the stock's potential, its market behavior, and any associated risks. It ensures that you make informed decisions rather than impulsively buying stocks based on external suggestions.
