What are Trade to Trade or T2T stocks?

Trade to Trade (T2T) stocks are highly speculative stocks or those suspected of price manipulation that exchanges move to a special segment. You cannot trade these stocks intraday, as all buy and sell transactions require compulsory delivery.

Key restrictions for T2T stocks

  • No intraday trading allowed: You must take delivery of all T2T stock purchases and cannot square off positions on the same day. When you sell and buy T2T stock on the same day, the new buy average will be the price of your latest purchase.
  • T+1 selling rule: If you buy a T2T stock, you cannot sell it on the same day. You can only sell your T2T stocks on the next trading day (T+1 day).

BTST trading limitations

When you sell T1 holdings (Buy Today Sell Tomorrow or BTST trades), you cannot use the credit from these sales on the same day due to regulatory restrictions. This applies to all T1 holdings, not just T2T stocks.

For detailed information about these restrictions, you can review the regulatory guidelines (PDF) and What are the risks involved in BTST?

How to check if your stock is in T2T segment

You can find the series in which your stock currently trades by visiting the NSE and BSE websites.
