The activity of online trading through a trading platform has become a huge trend in the last decade, with its peak reached during the pandemic.
Due to the fact that literally millions of people all over the world had to be subject to stay-at-home orders from local authorities, the long-dormant interest in online trading among individual investors skyrocketed. Moreover, the stock market collapse of March 2021 threw fuel on the fire and many people saw an opportunity in the lowest prices of major stocks reached during their dip.
It was only natural that those people who didn't take part in this surge of interest toward online trading in stocks and other financial markets are in a constant search for info and knowledge. And, of course, a way to master this activity in the most easy and profitable way.
And that's where we came to rescue with this new article.
The first rule to master online trading with a trading platform is to avoid any non-regulated broker. To stay safe in this business you must choose regulated brokers only and avoid any other brokerage service which is unable to show a license released by a recognized regulator.
A financial regulatory body is an agency assigned to regulate and oversee a financial institution, such in the case of an online broker, and the activity of financial markets, which are the territory of a trading platform. Each regulator was formed to help achieve the best regulation for both markets and financial institutions in order to protect investors and consumers, from the retail sector to institutional investors.
Among the primary regulators in the world we remember the following names.
European Territory
Americas
Asia & Oceania
In case you decide to go further with a non-regulated broker because of a 'good promo' or favourable (?) fees, be careful because there's nothing between you and an eventual scam. Furthermore, you're likely going to see your investment vanish once deposited your money.
Once you're sure about your future broker and online trading platform regarding their regulations, you can move further and start checking the other major tool you have to properly invest in online stock trading and the likes: education!
The usage of the right educational tools is a mandatory step if you want to master online trading, and being sure that your future broker is going to give you those tools is extremely important for future success. There are many learning instruments which may turn useful for your financial journey, and they will be the key for making your trading strategy a winning strategy.
Among the most reliable and useful education tools a broker will give you we remember:
Remember: knowledge is power. And that's especially true in the world of finance.
