Equities Trading

[mohsinqureshii 10]

Hey friends ,

 

I want to start Equities trading - especially in some US and UK Stocks , I have done forex and commodities a lot in past 5-6 years. Could any one suggest how could I start trading and from where I will get trading ideas.

 

I am unable to understand the commission structure of the brokers yet. Kindly guide me.

I think you need some clearer questions.

Broad based ones of where do I get help wont get many responses.

 

when you say you dont understand the commission structeres of the brokers - what do you mean. If you have been trading fx and commodties for 5 yrs????.....

start with the brokers and their examples...ask them for scenarios

Most equity brokers either charge a basis point percentage of the overall trade size, or a 'cents per trade' as a clip.

 

One thing you will need to beaware of if trading US and UK shares. Most UK shares attract stamp duty, and so you may not actually trade the shares, plus they are often quoted differently (as in pence per share, not in dollars per share - this can easily trick you)
