  • Online share trading has revolutionized the way in which the common person participates in the stock market, by making it much easier to gather and consolidate information.

    Definition

    "Online share trading" refers to the process of selling and buying stocks over the Internet. It often involves the membership and use of an online brokerage.

    Online Brokerages

    To facilitate the buying and selling of shares, a person must sign up for a membership to an online brokerage site and utilize its software to connect to the stock exchange market.

    Advantages

    The advantages of online share trading, over working through a traditional broker, are that you can acquire and consolidate a large wealth of information in a short period of time, and you can buy and sell shares at the speed of the Internet.

    Cheaper

    Membership to online brokerage software is usually much cheaper than what it would cost you to hire an actual broker to handle your trading.

    Risks

    Many people have trouble keeping their patience when they first move to online trading, because they no longer have the advice of a broker and do not have the time buffer while trades are being processed.
