Trading shares means buying and selling the shares of companies that are listed on the stock exchange in order to make money. Buying and selling stocks through an online platform is known as online share trading. The online trading account makes it simple to buy and sell stocks, mutual funds, bonds, and other securities.
Types of Share Trading

Day Trading
This involves buying and selling stocks in a single day. Day traders hold stock for minutes or hours. A trader in such a transaction must close before the market closes. It's used to profit from small NAV fluctuations.

Swing Trading
Swing traders profit from short-term market patterns and trends. In swing trading, a trade can last anywhere from one to seven days. It involves analysing short-term trends to gauge market patterns for the trade.

Momentum Trading
In momentum trading, traders select stocks that are breaking out or will break out. Trend direction influences traders' trading decisions. If momentum is rising, the trader will make more money by selling. When stocks fall, traders buy them at a discount.

Delivery Trading
Delivery trading is a long-term trading strategy where investors buy and hold stocks. Delivery trading doesn't allow margin. In this type of trading, investors pay the full price for stocks.

Fundamental Trading
Fundamental analysis is used by investors to find stocks. They pay special attention to company and financial events. Fundamental traders hold long enough positions to move stock prices.

Technical Trading
Technical trading is centered on studying price trends. They time the market using graphs and data. Technical trading is riskier than positional or fundamental trading. Traders should study charts and graphs for market insights.

- Upon approval, the company offers its shares to investors via an initial public offering (IPO) on the primary market.
- The Company may issue and allot shares to some or all of the investors who placed bids during the IPO.
- The shares are then listed on the stock exchange (secondary market) to enable trading.
