What is stocks trading?

It is the process of buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies on a stock exchange. Once you buy a stock, you practically buy a small ownership stake in the company, and as it grows and becomes more profitable, the value of your ownership stake increases in value and vice versa.

What are the types of stock trading?
There are 2 main types of stock trading: long-term investing and short-term trading. With long-term investing, you buy stocks and hold them for a period of years, whereas short-term trading involves buying and selling stocks over a period of days, weeks, or months in order to make quick profits.

How to trade stocks?
It can be done through a brokerage account, which allows you to place buy and sell orders on the stock exchange. It's extremely important to be aware that stock trading involves risk and potential losses, and it's important to do your research and understand the risks before starting. Trade with a solid investment strategy and diversify your portfolio to reduce risk.

What is indices trading?

It is a form of financial trading that involves buying and selling contracts based on the performance of an index, such as NASDAQ and S&P 500. Indices are measures of the performance of a group of stocks and traders speculate on the direction of the index's price movement.

Large Movements
Indices can move 500-2000 points a day on average. This is up to 20 times more than the currency market, and can translate into large trading gains on a successful day.
Also, seeing as 1 point in indices is worth $0.1 and not $10 like currencies, you can apply better risk management overall on these large moves, keeping you less exposed than you would be with other assets.

More Local & Easier to Analyze
Indices track top stocks within a single country. This makes the scope of analysis narrower than truly globalized assets like currencies and commodities, and therefore easier to analyze.
For example, the FTSE 100 is an index that tracks the top 100 companies on the London Stock Exchange. A trader in this case would need to focus on those companies only, without the complex nature of currency-pairing and global asset correlation

Diversifying your Portfolio
With commodities, you can make your overall strategy more effective by diversifying your portfolio and managing risk. The more asset classes you include into your trading strategy as a whole, the more hedging and risk management strategies can be employed. Commodities are classic assets to combine into any trading portfolio.

Correlation-Based Strategies
There are clear statistical correlations between commodities and other assets, and strategies based on these correlations help to boost profits and cushion risk. For example, the relationship between CAD and oil. Being a major oil producer, Canada’s currency tends to rise when oil prices do.

Higher Growth Opportunities
Commodities tend to be more volatile than other asset classes, with large swings and movements alongside geopolitical events. This creates significant opportunities for traders to capitalize on larger moves, yet it should be noted that larger swings also represent an elevated level of risk.

Make Money in Rising or Falling Markets
With CFDs, you can go long or short, in order to trade successfully in any market. In today’s dynamic markets, you can speculate on either direction and capture excellent profits. If you believe an asset will increase in value, you can place a buy order (“go long”). If you believe an asset will decrease in value, you can place a sell order (“go short”). As you can see, profit can be made whatever the market is doing.

A Wide Variety of Trading Opportunities
You can trade forex, shares, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies and more. The wider your selection of assets to trade, the more trading opportunities you can spot daily. A large variety of opportunities will enable you to select your trades more carefully and enhance your overall success.

Access Global Markets & 24-Hour Trading
You can trade CFDs around the clock, when you want to. The major benefit of this is seamless pricing, and the ability to trade when you see an opportunity, and not only when a market is open. 24-hours means opportunities around the clock, enabling you to carefully select your positions.

What is Crypto trading?
It is the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies on an exchange to make a profit from the price movements of the digital assets. Crypto trading involves similar principles to traditional trading, such as buying low and selling high, but with some significant differences.

How to trade Crypto?
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and can experience significant price fluctuations within a short period, therefore, traders must react quickly to changing market conditions and be constantly updated with the latest news.

What affects the Crypto market?
The crypto market is highly volatile and the prices are determined by supply and demand, and may be affected by a variety of factors, including market sentiment, news events, regulatory developments, and many more.
