Guide for beginners: On How to trade on the share market

The stock market can be a road that will lead you to wealth creation opportunities. Stock market investing can yield huge profits. However, volatility is an important part of the share market. You may experience ups and downs, profits or losses as an investor or trader. As a beginner, it is crucial to understand how to trade on the share market.

What's stock trading?

Trading is the act of buying and selling shares on the secondary market at the same time. It is important to understand the primary and secondary markets.

• Primary market: A primary market is a place where companies offer new securities to the public. The transaction takes place between buyers and issuers.
• Secondary Market: In the secondary market you can purchase and sell shares that were issued in the primary marketplace. The transaction occurs between the seller and buyer. The broker or stock exchange acts as an intermediary on the secondary market.

If you sell and buy shares on the same day, it is known as an intraday trade. The trader records a profit or a loss at the end of each day.

Stock trading for beginners

These tips will help you get started in stock trading.

1) Open a Demat Account:

To trade in the stock market, either as an investor or trader, you need to open a brokerage account. A Demat account is required to trade on the stock exchange. A Demat account is a type of bank account that allows you to hold money for trading. The Demat account holds the securities that you purchase electronically.

2) Learn how to understand stock quotes

Any news, fundamentals, and technical analysis can influence the price of a stock. These aspects will help you to improve your knowledge of stock markets and stocks. This will allow you to determine the best price at which to enter or exit a trade.

3) Asks and bids

The bid price is the highest price you will pay to purchase a stock. The asking price is the exact opposite. This is the minimum price the seller will accept to sell the stock. It is crucial to choose the right bid and ask price in order to make a profit.

4) Stock knowledge:

To plan your trading, you should study the technical and fundamental analyses of the stock. The fundamental analysis is used to evaluate a security's intrinsic value. It takes into account earnings, liabilities, and expenses. Technical analysis, on the other hand, evaluates the stock using the volume chart and past prices to predict the future.

5) Stop the loss

Volatility is an inherent characteristic of the share market. It is crucial for beginners to learn how to avoid heavy losses. To minimize your loss, it is important to establish a stop-loss price before you start trading. You could lose a lot of capital if you don't set a stop loss.

6) Ask an expert:

The share market can be unpredictable. No one can accurately predict the stock market's future. An expert's advice can help beginners make the right trading decisions. This will allow you to make the best decision.

7) Start with safer stocks

Your confidence could be affected by a large capital loss at the beginning. It is a wise decision, to begin with, less volatile stocks. This may mean a slower start. These stocks will likely perform well in any adverse conditions.

It can be difficult to invest in the share market. Opening a Demat account is the first step towards trading success. Next, you need to be able to understand the stock market. This will allow you to beat volatility and work against the odds.
