How much percentage of profit is sufficient in intraday trading?

1%

1%

You can expect 3-5 % of profit in a intraday with a risk of 1% from your total capital. I too use this in my intraday trades.

I usually don’t calculate the percentage. I keep the stop loss limited and profits trail!

If you calculate your risk and reward in percentage it will help you in the long run!

It depends on a lot of things. On a very good day, it can be as high as 5-10% if your risk sizing is appropriate. Anything above 2% is considered decent. Considering that trading is a volatile activity to be involved with, it makes sense to net 1-2% on an average day and try to be consistent with few and small drawdowns in between. That’s the real way to be successful with intraday trading.

@7EgYzgTpZZ If you have 10,000 as your capital, that means 1% is 100 rs. So you have to divide those and calculate your capital and keep a target.

I usually keep my take risk of 1% and keep my targets at 2.5% if anything above it I will trail and i will exit the trade for the day :grin:
