Stock Market Trading

History of Trading

Trade has existed for as long as human civilization, i.e., the agricultural revolution. The form of trading, however, has varied across different societies. Primarily due to isolated human communities, which did not allow the unification into a single system. In the past, however, a form of trading that was prevalent across different societies was the barter system, where services and goods were traded in exchange for other services and goods.

However, the barter system was found inconvenient given the lack of any basic standard for measuring the value of products. This inconvenience forged the way for money, which acted as a standard against which the values of all products are measured. This invention triggered a chain of economic and financial developments such as the introduction of the credit facility, share trading, etc.

After the success of joint-stock companies in fostering economic development along with geographical expansion, those were made a mainstay of the financial world. The first exchange for online trading in India and Asia was the Bombay Stock Exchange which was established in 1875. BSE, along with the National Stock Exchange in India, are the two main houses where stock market trading takes place.

Types of Trading in Stock Market

Primarily, there are four types of share trading. These are –

Day Trading

This form of trade involves purchasing and selling stocks in a single day. A single day in stock market terms means 9:15 am to 3:30 pm on a weekday (barring market holidays). In the case of day trading, individuals hold stocks for a few minutes or hours.

Scalping

It is also known as micro-trading. Scalping and day-trading are both subsets of intraday trading. Scalping involves reaping small profits repeatedly ranging from a dozen to a hundred profits in a single market day.

Swing Trading

This style of stock market trading is used to capitalise on the short-term stock trends and patterns. Swing trading is used to earn gains from stock within a few days of purchasing it; ideally one to seven days.

Momentum Trading

In case of momentum trading, a trader exploits a stock’s momentum, i.e. a substantial value movement of stock, either upwards or downwards. A trader tries to capitalise on such momentum by identifying the stocks that are either breaking out or will break out.
