What is Trade to Trade (T2T) Stock

T2T stocks or Trade to Trade stock means stocks are those that must be delivered in order to be traded (T+2 settlement). This implies that such equities cannot be traded intraday or, in the case of Buy Today Sell Tomorrow, on a daily basis. This means, If you acquire Trade 2 Trade stocks today, you won’t be able to sell them until the T+2 settlement takes place. Your order will be refused if you try to sell these shares the same day or before they are in the Demat account.

Stocks that are very volatile or have irregular price movements are monitored by exchanges in cooperation with the market regulator, SEBI. They put stocks in the T2T section to shield regular investors from being caught up in the volatility and to limit unwarranted speculating on such equities.

On a biweekly basis, exchanges relocate stocks to the Trade to Trade sector, and they are shifted in and out of the segment depending on quarterly evaluations.

A mix of, but not limited to, price to earnings overvaluation, price fluctuation, and market capitalization are some of the primary factors utilised to convert stock to the T2T sector. Also evaluated for transfer to the T2T sector are stocks that are not available for trade in the F&O section.

Exchanges classify scrips into several series depending on the kind of instrument and settlement. The Trade 2 Trade stocks are classified as a separate series. The NSE and BSE websites include a list of these stocks.
