In this context, there is a division of two kinds of stocks held by the owners, which is known as the stocks that are common and secondly the stocks that are preferred. The rights that the owners holding these shares varies as the owners of the stocks that are preferred would be given priority relating to the voting rights in the meeting and also the dividend privileged prior to the stocks that are common.

There is a place where these stocks are dealt with and this place would be known as the stock market.

Most importantly, the documents relating to the trading could be known online and based on which the terms can be adhered before placing the stock or share on board for trading.
Different types of Trading:
The shares and stocks can be traded through different channels. The first one would be termed in the stock exchange as the ‘market order’, which means that the stocks are traded at the price that has been stated in the terminal and the same would be received accordingly. The current price in the market is the last price for which it can be sold or bought respectively. This is not the case with the Limit order and the Stop order options. In the limit order, a particular amount is stated in the terminal of the trading and when the price of the stocks reaches that rate the trade is closed.
On the contrary, if the price does not reach the price sated therein, it would be in the state of pending and would go under loss of the amount invested, as the penalty fee needs to be paid in the event of not reaching the limit price. This is because the same has to be traded within a specified time, usually within three past half hour. If the price reaches the limit price as stated, the order automatically will get executed.
- The stop loss option would be traded in such a way that a low price is already stated in the terminal and if the prices fall, they fall for good as the price stated is lower and if it is high, fortune hits the seller.
- The day trading is another kind of trading for the traders who sell and buy the stocks offline. You could trade four times more than the amount which you have in your trading account. If the margin is fixed the reversing of the transaction could be done in the later part of the day, if the same is not met. However, this does not apply if the margin of the profit is not fixed. The transaction has to be completed by three past half hour.
- The delivery trading is a kind of trading, wherein you can make a purchase of the stocks by paying from your demat account and hold the same till it is sold. There is no limitation relating to the sale of the stock. The same can be done when you feel the prices are quite high to be sold. Its your decision on the whole and the market would influence your decision as to whether you want to sell it immediately or want to wait till the price rises.
