BTST or Buy Today, Sell Tomorrow is a feature that allows traders to buy stocks today and sell them next trading day. Want to know which brokers allow BTST trading? The report provides a list of top brokers for BTST trading.
Let’s first understand what is BTST trading?
Buy Today Sell Tomorrow (BTST) means that stocks bought today can be sold by the trader immediately or in the next 2 trading days.
In India, T+2 is the settlement period, i.e. when you buy a stock, it takes T+2 days for the shares to be transferred or credited to your demat account. Here, T is the day when the trade order was placed. So you have to wait T+2 days to get the shares delivered and you can sell them only after that.
However, with BTST, there are no such requirements. Brokers offering BTST trades allow their clients to sell shares on the same day or within the next 2 days, even if they do not get the shares delivered.
To execute BTST trades, you need to place a CNC (Cash N Carry) order or a stock delivery order. Once you buy a stock, you will be able to see it on the "Positions" tab.
If you close your CNC positions on the same day, it is considered an intraday trade, so your BTST broker will charge intraday brokerage fees. However, if the order to sell shares is placed within the next 2 days, i.e. on day T+1 or T+2, it will be treated as a delivery trade, so the delivery charges will be applicable.
