                                How Stock Trading Works

                      Brokers buy and sell stocks through an exchange. Often charging a commission to do so. A broker is  a person who is licensed to trade  through the Exchange. A broker is either on the trading floor or can make trades by phone or on his computer

An exchange is like a warehouse in which you can buy and sell stocks. A person or computer must match a buy order to a sell order. and vice versa. Some exchanges work like auctions on an trading floor and  match buyers to sellers electronically. Some examples of  stock exchanges are…

The New York Stock Exchange.

The NASDAQ.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Worldwide Stock Exchanges has a list of major exchanges. Over-the-counter  stocks are not listed on a  exchange and you can look up information on them at the OTC Bulletin Board.

When you buy and sell stocks online you're using an online broker that  takes the place of a human broker. You still use money but instead of talking to someone about what to invest in you decide which stocks to trade and you request  trades yourself. Some  brokerages offer advice from live brokers and broker assisted trades as part of their service.

If you need a broker to help you with your trades, you'll need to choose a firm that offers that service

                                Advice On Trading Stocks

                                            1.)    Watch your trading style: Think hard about what kind of online stock you want to invest in. Would you want day trading where you close out a trade at the end of every day? Or short term trading where you hold a stock several days at a time? Perhaps you’re a weekly trader or a monthly trader. You can always change your mind so don’t be afraid to do so!

2.)    Select a broker that fits your trading style. Day brokers need access to your cellphone, email or any other high-speed device that can get them to you quickly. Weekly or monthly trades can use less interactive brokers. When it comes to the cost of brokers fees and other costs, day trading is the most expensive option.

3.)    Use a low risk high reward method: Stock trading is a risk-reward system. You have to be willing to INVEST to make money! A lot of people do a lot of damage to their account before learning how to win big. Though it might not be the most glamorous way to trade, risk management can help you avoid big time losses

4.)     Make sure your trading method applies for all markets: The stock market doesn’t just go up. It goes down a lot of times also. Sometimes for months or years on end. Use an online stock trading method that takes advantage of both down markets and up markets as you see fit.

5.)    Don’t walk into this market with a big head! Countless times ive seen people think they’re going to make money the first time they do it then get smacked down with minimal or no gain
