Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. What is trading terminal in stock market?

A trading terminal in the stock market is a software interface that allows traders to purchase and sell financial instruments. It offers order placing and execution capabilities, advanced charting tools for technical analysis, real-time market data, and portfolio management features. Traders use the terminal to manage their investment portfolios, execute trades, and remain up to date on market moves.

Q2. What is the difference between neighbourhood brokers and online brokers?

Neighbourhood brokers, often referred to as traditional or full-service brokers, operate their businesses out of physical locations and provide individualised, in-person communications. They are appropriate for people who appreciate mentorship since they offer full support, including research and investing guidance. Conversely, discount or online brokers mostly use digital platforms to do business; they provide less personalized services but charge less to execute deals. Neighbourhood brokers prioritize a helpful, hands-on approach to trading, whereas online brokers provide cost-effectiveness and ease. The choice between them comes down to whether someone would rather have more personalized guidance or a more economical, self-directed approach.
