• What is stock trading?

  Stocks (also called Shares) are a percentage of a company’s' ownership. When a company is successful, their stocks gain value. But "trading stocks" is different, it means trading CFDs for the underlying asset. Therefore, you can take a long or a short position in the market. That means you can profit even if the company shares are losing value, if you took a "sell" position in the market.

• How are stock market prices determined?

  Stock prices are largely determined by demand and supply. Demand is the number of stocks people want to purchase while supply is the number of stocks that people want to sell. The price discovery happens where demand and supply meet at a particular price level, meaning both the buyer and seller agree to trade at a particular price point. A continuous rise in prices is known as an uptrend, and a continuous drop in prices is called a downtrend. Sustained uptrends form a “bull” market and sustained downtrends are called “bear” markets.
