Brief Introduction - Online Stock Market Trading
 Stock Exchange

Stocks (Shares, equity) are traded in stock exchange. India has two big stock exchanges
(Bombay Stock Exchange - BSE and National Stock Exchange - NSE) and few small
exchanges like Jaipur Stock Exchange etc. Investor can trade stocks in any of the stock
exchange in India.

 Stock Broker

Investor requires a Stock Broker to buy and sell shares in stock exchanges (BSE, NSE etc.).
Stock Broker are registered member of stock exchange. A stock broker can register to one or
more stock exchanges.

Only stock brokers can directly buy and sell shares in Stock Market. An investor must contact
a stock broker to trade stocks. Broker charge commissions (brokerages) for their service.
Brokerage is usually a percent of total amount of trade and varies from broker to broker.

 Stock Trading
Traditionally stock trading is done through stock brokers, personally or through telephones. As
number of people trading in stock market increase enormously in last few years, some issues like
location constrains, busy phone lines, miss communication etc start growing in stock broker offices.
