When you buy a stock, you own a piece of a publicly traded company. Because of its popularity and available historical data, the stock market is a great place for a new trader or investor to begin. Stock trading also provides useful experience for trading other asset classes, such as futures or Forex. Stock market courses, such as those taught at Online Trading Academy, can help you start investing with confidence and a methodical plan.

Learn Stock Trading Strategies and Investing Strategies

Buy and Hold Trading

This is the passive approach used by many individual investors. You choose a stock which you hope will go up in price and/or pays an attractive dividend, and plan to keep it indefinitely. This approach is easy, but subject to losses if the market goes against you.

Active Stock Trading

This is the approach used by many traders and investors who want to maximize their opportunities and minimize their losses. You don’t trade every day, but you monitor your holdings frequently and make adjustments where appropriate in your portfolio.

Day Trading (also called Short Term Trading or Momentum Trading)

Day trading is for traders who are willing to devote a little time each day in return for the potential of regular income. Technical analysis, stock market training, and experience helps them find opportunities where they can quickly open and close a position.
