Beginner’s Guide to Share Market Trading in India
Introduction:
If you’ve ever wondered how people buy and sell shares to make money, or how the stock market works, you’re in the right place.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through the basics of share market trading in India — without confusing technical words. And where I do use them, I’ll explain them in simple terms so you can understand.
1.What is the Share Market?
The share market is like a big online marketplace where people buy and sell “shares” of companies.
A share is simply a small part of a company. If you own a share, you own a small part of that business.
Think of it like this: if a pizza is a company, each slice is a share. When you buy a slice, you get to enjoy its value — and if the pizza gets bigger (company grows), your slice becomes
2.Why Do People Trade in the Share Market?
People trade for two main reasons:
- To grow their wealth – Buy shares at a lower price and sell them at a higher price later.
- To earn regular income – Some companies share a part of their profit with shareholders. This is called dividend (a reward for owning shares).
3. Types of Trading in Simple Words
There are many ways to trade, but let’s keep it simple:
- Delivery Trading: You buy shares and keep them for days, weeks, or years.
- Intraday Trading: You buy and sell shares on the same day to make quick profits.
- Swing Trading: You hold shares for a few days to take advantage of short-term price movements.
(Don’t worry if these sound new — you’ll learn them step-by-step in our courses.)
