There is probably no one who does not love to have more income from different sources. For a trader in the stock market, it is imperative to save each penny from every trade. In some of the trades one can earn handsome amount, but in some cases, one has to satisfy with a meager amount of profit also. In such situation, the brokerage places an additional burden on the trader.
To make money and avoid loss one needs to get the account with a stockbroker who can offer various services. In this era, one can find the best stock brokers with the help of different sources such as the internet, various websites and social media sites as well as personal references. However, before getting an account opened with any of the broker one needs to go for small research that can help to find the desired broker in the local market only.
How does the broker help?
Well, a broker is a person who has got the franchise of a stock trading house or stock trading company which is offered a license from the stock market regulator known as SEBI. There is a specific process for getting the license from the SEBI which is done by the concerned company or broking house that appoints various brokerage firms. A broker is a person who is affiliated with such stock trading company or house, and hence it is authenticated to open a demat as well as trading account. In the stock market, the companies have their research department which keeps on checking the market from different angles and help the client with the research data and analysis on the basis of which the traders form own strategies to deal in the market.
The accounts:
In the stock market, one can go for an online or offline account for trading. In the online account, the trader can have complete command on his trading while in the offline account one has to get the transactions done with the help of terminal operator of the broker.
One needs to go for any of these accounts as per his profile. If one has a computer or even a smartphone with an internet connection, he can trade on his own. The most noteworthy benefit here is one can place the order as soon as he thinks the right moment for the order while in the offline account he needs to call the terminal operator which may take some time and till then the rates may have changed. However, if one is not free during the market hours to keep a watch on rates, it is better to have an offline account and instruct the operator to set the profit booking or stop loss limits. If one does not know how to trade with the help of the software, the offline account is considered as a better one compared to the online account. In many cases, the brokers charge low brokerage if one goes for an online account and hence it can prove beneficial for the trader.
