bucks through online trading, right? Well! The whole concept sounds extremely exciting, but if you don\u2019t know how to start trading, it can be a bit overwhelming. Like other amateur traders, we have also begun our journey, not knowing anything at all about the stock market. But don\u2019t worry; we are here to rescue you from the trouble! Let\u2019s break down the information of online trading in India and how to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Trading\"><\/span><strong>What is Trading?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with the basics. Trading is like playing a game, but instead using dice or cards, you trade securities and other financial assets. It is different from investing, which mostly focuses on <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/buy-and-hold-investment-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy-and-hold strategy<\/a>. The benefit of trading is to both parties &#8211; depending on the trader\u2019s strategy and stock market knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong> The first long-distance trade was practiced 5,000 years ago between <em>Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In India, there are two types of trading: Primary and Secondary. Here let\u2019s roll the basic grounds of these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Primary_Trading\"><\/span><strong>Primary Trading<\/strong>:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine buying a video game directly from a game developer &#8211; that\u2019s primary trading. Primary market happens when companies issue new shares to raise capital. It offers traders the right to buy an offering from the bank who did the initial underwriting of a specific stock. Best example of a primary market is an IPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secondary_Trading\"><\/span><strong>Secondary Trading<\/strong>:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now imagine buying the same video games from any shop at the marketplace. Here, traders buy or sell securities with the investors in the secondary market, often known as \u201cstock market\u201d, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/national-stock-exchange-nse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NSE<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/bombay-stock-exchange-bse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BSE<\/a>, NYSE, etc. This is the part we will be discussing further in this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Interesting Fact<\/strong>: $32 trillion was the <a href=\"https:\/\/unctad.org\/news\/global-trade-set-hit-record-32-trillion-2022-outlook-increasingly-gloomy-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">recorded global trade value<\/a> in 2022 according to the United<em> Nations Conference on Trade and Development.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Start_Online_Trading_in_India\"><\/span><strong>How to Start Online Trading in India<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uat1.gettogetherfinance.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/hot-to-start-online-trading-in-india-scaled.webp\" alt=\"how to start online trading in India\" class=\"wp-image-3293\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the digitalization of India, trading has become convenient and getting popular among youth everyday.

Think of it as your door to the stock market journey. In India, there are several options available for a broker, such as Sharekhan, Dhan, Zerodha, Upstox and more. Each option comes with brokerage fees and features. Zerodha and Dhan is one of the popular choices among traders for its user-friendly interface and minimal brokerage fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open_Demat_Account_Complete_KYC\"><\/span><strong>Open Demat Account &amp; Complete KYC<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a retailer helps you with finding stuff at a store, your online broker will help you set-up your Demat (Dematerialized) and trading account. Further, you will need to complete your KYC (Know Your Customer) for identity verification. It requires personal documents, including PAN card, Aadhar card, and bank details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fund_Your_Account\"><\/span><strong>Fund Your Account<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you complete the account set-up, you&#8217;ll need to add money to your trading wallet.

Just like that &#8211; research and learn about your favorite stock before you start trading. Understand how it works, the different types of orders, and the risks involved. <strong>Remember &#8211; in this battlefield &#8211; knowledge is your best weapon<\/strong>.
