Online Stock Trading

Online Stock Trading
The Benefits Of Online Stock Market Trading
Regardless of whether you are an experienced stock trader or new to trading stock, you may never have experienced the joy of stock trading online. If that's the case, and you are currently thinking of trading online, you may want to know what all the fuss is about! To help you understand, the following are just some of the benefits of online stock market trading:
Commissions
One of the biggest, if not the biggest, benefit of trading stocks online is the reduced stock broker commissions you�ll be expected to pay. In most cases, when trading stock online, brokers will charge you a commission of between $7 and $10 per trade. However, if you trade in sufficiently large enough volume, it is possible for you to negotiate with your broker so that these brokers� fees can be as low as $0.01 of the transaction value.
Control
When you use a broker in the real world you may find that your broker will not agree to execute a trade, believing your decision to buy or sell the stock in question is flawed. When you trade stock online this is no longer a problem, your broker has no input as to when you buy and sell stock � you do!
Portfolio
In the real world some brokers will not buy certain stock � for example, some penny stocks. This may limit the stock you are able to have as part of your investment portfolio. However, when you trade online, subject to availability, you can trade in any stock - on any stock exchange - you want!
Information
With the use of computer software programs, you can use stock charts, technical indicators and real time stock prices to help you make the investment decision you want to make, when you want to make it.
Time
One of the essential elements about trading stock is the time it takes to execute the trade, as this can mean the difference between making a profit and making a loss. In the real world you have to phone your broker and ask him to sell/buy the stock. The broker then phones the trader, who gives the broker the price. The broker than tells you the price and you either agree to buy/sell or not to. If you agree to buy/sell, the trader then phones the order through to the trader. Online you push your mouse over a cursor and press buy/sell. A much quicker sell! Volume
Assuming you are happy paying the commission, you can trade as large or small as you want over the Internet. In the real world, most brokers require a minimum buy/sell that is out of the reach of most individual traders.
Finally�
All in all, online stock trading is about �you�. It provides you with the opportunity to trade in stocks without having to pay large commissions while keeping control over your investment decisions.

We’re going to break down stock trading training for beginners so it doesn’t seem scary. One of the first things you need to do when you start out is to pick a good broker. A stock broker is going to be where you do all your business. Picking one that has large commissions and fees can be detrimental to a beginner.

An important second step is going to be learning how to read a stock chart. The stock chart holds all of the clues to which direction the stock is going to move. Watch our ThinkOrSwim video on charts setup.

Another great resource for learning to read a chart is stockcharts.com. They have a chart school for any questions that you might have. Charts can look like Greek when you’re starting out. The more you look at a chart, the more you’ll understand it and be able to predict trends
