Trading means investing in global and local markets and then selling those shares or stocks in order to make a profit.

In a best-case scenario, opening a trading account and becoming an online broker without studying could make you a little bit of money through bitcoin or another popular investment. In the worst case though, it could get you arrested. The fact is, there are a variety of laws around trading that even the most experienced financial advisor or online trading professionals can find difficult to stay on the right side of. A course will not only teach you about different stock exchanges like NASDAQ and financial markets but also what the relevant laws are around trading so that you can stay friendly with the law.
Trading, when done well for many is a dream job, and you could perhaps one day be working at any of the major cities in the world, including London, New York, or Tokyo, and can be incredibly lucrative!
If you already have a qualification or know a great deal, studying a more specific course about specific complex instruments of trading or CFDs work could be suitable and will help you discover how to take your trading to the next level.
Otherwise, a longer more general trading course will help you understand different markets like Indonesia, Germany or China, as well as general information about getting started in trading and how to make it work.
