What is Online trading?

Online trading is the means of carrying out an investment or speculative operation with currencies or any other financial instruments online. The principal difference between online trading and traditional margin trading is that transactions are made directly by the customer through an online connection rather than calling a broker.

The key advantage of online trading is that it provides individuals from across the globe with access to financial markets.

FOREX, CFDs (contracts for difference), metals, primary goods (oil, etc.), shares, share indexes, are among the most widely traded online instrument.
