Intraday trading refers to same-day trading whereby you can be able to buy shares and sell them within the same day.
Currently, settlement (actual transfer of shares from the previous owner to you) takes 3 working days.
The good news is that the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) wants to reduce the settlement period to immediate settlement.
Once this is done, we shall inform you and Intraday trading will be possible from then henceforth.
Happy Investing 😊
