In intraday trading, there is no fixed daily earning because profits depend on market conditions, capital, skill, and risk taken in Stock Market. Some experienced traders may earn small consistent profits like 0.5% to 2% of their capital on good days, while beginners may also face losses. For example, with ₹1,00,000 capital, a trader might make ₹500 to ₹2,000 on average, but this is not guaranteed. Earnings can be high on volatile days and zero or negative on others. Successful intraday trading requires discipline, technical analysis, and strict stop-loss management rather than expecting fixed daily income.

Well, it really depends on your capital and stock selection. I have seen people make lakhs in intraday trading (on their lucky days). And then I have seen people suffer big losses in this game. So, at the end of the day, how much money you make from intraday largely depends on your strategies, as well as money and risk management.

But here’s a thing that’s worth mentioning. Many people are skeptical about day buying and selling. In fact, traditional traders and experts go to an extent of calling those who day trade as fools. DON’T LISTEN TO THEM! If you’re confident that you can do it, go and trade daily. Keep the conservative and pessimist voices at bay.

Just spend some time in the learning process, understand how things are and start day trading. If you’re right with your moves and your capital is good enough, you can make thousands every day quite easily. But for that to happen, you must be ready to spend 6-10 hours of your day in front the computer screen daily.
