Stock trading is the buying and selling of a company’s shares with an aim to make a profit. When you buy shares in a company you own a small part of that company, and the value of your investment will change as the company’s share price moves up and down. With FXTM’s stock trading service, you can’t open short (sell) positions on stocks, but you can sell any holdings you have to earn a potential profit.
Investors use information including company news and announcements, company results (earnings), and technical analysis to make decisions about which stocks to buy and when.
Once you’ve bought your investment you can log in anytime to monitor it and check the latest news and announcements. There’s no limit on how long you can hold your investment, and when you’re ready to sell simply login and click to sell instantly. You could then use that cash to make a new investment or return it to your bank account.
