No Intraday Margin(MIS), only Delivery(CNC) even if you sell it the same day

Margin Intra-day Square Off: You pay 1/5th but the stock sells immeidately at the end of the day if you didn't already sell the same day.
Delivery(CNC): It's your stock, if you sell same day, no DP charges(20+GST for the whole stock of one company) or you can keep it till your hearts desire.

I tried this so many times seeing how little I had to pay for Intraday and stuck to the screen seeing the numbers go up and down and selling immediately thinking I made a profit only to later find out with chargees that I made a loss. The app is designed to make you believe that.
When later I did incorporate the charges into it and I tried, most of the day what happneed was that the stock went down and I was forced to sell at a loss, however, had I actually bouogh the stock I would have more chances to sell them later, like in this case they went back up the next day and I could have made profit on all the MIS stocks that I made a loss on if only it had been my stock.
Past doesn't predict future

And who says a stock will only go as high as it has gone in the past. Also I belive in the probability system that we learnt in hihg school. My next coin toss isn't depependent on the previous coin toss. Just beause I have been gettignn 10 tails in the row doesn't suddently make it sure that the next I will get is head. They are mutually exclusive. ANd I am going with that mentality in mind. Just because a stock went up and low t o acertin value in a certain time makes absolutely no guaranteees that it will do it again. I have to learn to manage the risk without putting expectaitons on it.

Buy bigger numbers of small value not talked about stocks and sell just above break-even

Here's my methodology, will explain more later when I share all the trading.

Buy some big numbers of these small value stocks and immeidately place a sell order for the same day not including the DP charges was it? 20+gst thingy?
If they sell that same day, good, no loss made and possibly no profit made either.

If however, it doens't sell, now I will add the Rs.20+gst thingy and put this for sale indefinately.

And I will try to keep moving between stocks and stocks but will never add any moore money in the account.
Either I make little profit or I make no profit but I have held stocks is my thinking here. When I have done this several times and understand al the "actual" charges will wes tart to think about profit.

I would also like to point out a psychology behind it. With this method I do not get nervous if the price goes down, earlier with Intraday or doing something normally I kept getting worried that I would loose all my stocks and hence would not sell the stock even on little profit trying to make up for earlier losses like a gambling addict. This happened yesterday, will tell more soon but the point is: With this method, if the price goes down, I simply hold the stock for longer, it becomes my investement in the company. If it goes up, it sells automatically. Also, I am free of wathcing the market going up and doign all day.

I actually did one right now. I sw the ALOKINDS stock on the NSE sheet and it was the scond chepest, (Idea was yesterday) and I bought it at Rs.18.32 and I added the costs: 2.57 for buy and 2.55(could be a bit higher based on price) for selling all 10 stocks and I added them to be 18.312 as the break even and I put a 18.32 sell price on it. I already have that alarm to remove stocks from the market at the end of the day at 3:40PM and put a higher sale price to incorfporate the DP charges and forget about it. I don't want my emotions running high

You can't take advice from people whose interest is in keeping you trading regardless of you making money or loss

Also what I have seen is the app tries to show you oh that you are making a lot of profit visually when the graph has been scaled up  very large and they absolutely ignore the trading charhges.
I think it's completley wrong  but I do understand what they're trying to do.

Morals is missing from this world as it is now. Everyone cares about making their money

The reason I simply didn't set a stock alert in this app because it keeps shoving shit in my face, oh this stock is up, this is down, buy this and when turn off the notificaiont sof rtht it also removes the notification for this.

They also have a live coaching session and when I saw that 10k people are watching this I realized what a terrible thing this is because those 10k people are enough on their own to sway the market, atleast that's what I thikn. if they are told to buy such and such stocka nd hold it they will with, let me remind you, OF NO GUARANTEES THAT IT WILL ACTUALLY GO UP IN PRICE AT ALL.

Principles

Spread money into many stocks like even 20 stocks and expect all of them to make you a loss. One might be enough to cover up the loses of others and hopefully make a bit of profit.
Never spend money you don't have. So all MIS are out of question.
Main idea is to get the principal amount back quikcly and use the left over amount to just buy and hold stocks without worrying about when it sells.
Controversial but I don't want to sell a stock just beacuse it's going down and I might make more loss later. If a stock goes very down in value I forget about it and move onto other stocks using this loss as a motivation to move forward.
Although selling stock won't put a company in jeopardy giving someone else the ability to do what they want with the stock when the company might be struggling is not something I want to do personally. → Tthis needs a bit more udnderstanding and hence I will study more on it and this might change later when I fully understand the concept.
The above point is to inforce the point that I am not using stock market as just another gamble. It's not a gamble for me. I want to be part of a company and not merely make a quick buck.
Patience: My slow and steady youtube journey has taught be a lot of patience and that is what I am implementing here. Lots and lots of learning with the least amount of money I have is the goal here.

What I have learnt till now

You should know all the charges from beginning to end when buying and selling stock so you know your actual break-even number. The AngelOne app I am using right now tries to ignore all such charges and just show you are making profit and you can be happy thinking you made profit when you actually made loss.
For now I see how much I have to pay when buying and when selling and add the Rs.24 to it and use that.
This Rs.24 is DP that you can ignore if you plan to sell it right away
Buying a lot of small stocks is better for learning stage instead of large stocks just because the breaking even will be easier attainable.
Intra-day(5-x thingy where you pay 1/5th) has a fucking lot of hidden charges and even when I thought I made a lot of profits I actually made a loss when I checked the statement the next day. Stick to buying complete stocks and holding it if necesssary.
