Stock trading is the buying and selling of shares of publicly listed companies. When you buy a stock, you become a shareholder and can benefit from price appreciation and dividends (if declared).

'Stocks' and 'equities' are often used interchangeably. In practice, 'stocks' commonly refers to individual company shares, while 'equities' can be used more broadly to describe ownership instruments and markets.

Open an account, complete KYC, add funds, and access the trading platform (MT5 or FIX API). Search for the stock you want, choose order type (market/limit), set position size, and execute the trade.

Many companies distribute part of their profits as dividends. If you hold dividend-paying stocks, you may receive payments subject to the company’s dividend policy and the record date.

Stock prices move due to company earnings, news, macroeconomic data, interest rates, industry trends, and investor sentiment. Earnings reports and geopolitical events often cause short-term volatility.

Use diversification, position sizing, stop-loss orders, and avoid over-leveraging. Combine fundamental research with technical analysis and stay informed about market-moving events.

Fees may include spreads, commissions, overnight financing (if using leverage), and regulatory or exchange charges. Check Enso Markets’ pricing page for exact rates and any account-specific fees.
