For Intraday Trading Which Time Frame Best?

Best Time Frame for Intraday Trading
Intraday traders (also called day traders) use time frames between 5-minutes to 60-minutes. The more commonly used are 15-minute and 30-minute timeframes on the chart. In India, the market is open between 9:15AM to 3:30PM.

Which time chart is best for day trading?

For most stock day traders, a tick chart will work best for actually placing trades. The tick chart shows the most detailed information and provides more potential trade signals when the market is active (relative to a one-minute or longer time frame chart). It also highlights when there is little activity.

What time can we do intraday trading?

An intraday trade has to opened and closed on the same day. In the rolling settlement, if it is not closed on the same day, then it goes to compulsory delivery. Hence the timing for intraday trading is from 9.15 am to 3.30 pm on a daily basis in the Indian markets.
