SIP vs STP: What's the Difference — and Which One Do You Actually Need?

Most people confuse SIP and STP, or assume one is just a fancier version of the other. They are not. SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a calendar-based discipline: you invest a fixed amount on a fixed schedule, regardless of what the market is doing. STP (Systematic Trading Plan) is a rules-based framework: you act only when specific price, volume, and trend conditions are met — and every entry, stop-loss, and position size is calculated before the order is placed. This Agent Adda Education report grounds both concepts in real NSE data: a 5-month Nifty 50 SIP-vs-lump-sum simulation, compounding tables showing what Rs 10,000/month at 12% CAGR looks like at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, full STP mechanics from the Agent Adda Swing Playbook (including step-by-step position sizing math for CUPID, LAURUSLABS, and RATNAVEER), and a BHEL caselet showing how the same stock looks completely different through an investor's eye versus a trader's eye. Not investment advice — strictly educational.
