Generally, online trading refers to buying and selling securities via the Internet. With online trading, you can access a brokerage firm's website (like Arihant) through your regular Internet Service Provider. Once there, you consult information provided on the website and log into your trading accounts to place orders and monitor your account activity. You can buy and sell shares through your own computer without dealing with a dealer.

Online trading is a convenient, quick and smart way of trading in the equity markets. Some of the advantages of trading online are listed below:

• An obvious advantage of online trading is that your transactions would be virtually paperless. Your trading account would be linked to your demat and bank accounts, ensuring a smooth transaction process. This is especially helpful in the extant T+2 settlement system, where you have just two days to settle your transaction.
• Reduced paperwork. You don’t need to sign and submit demat slips with the depository while selling shares. You don’t even need to write cheques while purchasing shares.
• Online trading helps you to trade anytime, anywhere – better, smarter and the way you want. You no longer need to communicate buy/sell orders to your dealer. The absence of manual intervention ensures that you are completely in control of all transactions.
• Instant price updates on your trading portal and the facility to modify/cancel your orders till the point that they are executed.
• You get trade confirmations in an instant so any errors in judgment can be quickly rectified.
• Online trading systems do not differentiate between small and big investors or small and large trades, unlike a dealer who may favour investors with larger investments since that would mean a higher brokerage.
• For Non-Resident Indians (NRI), trading online is perhaps their easiest option to invest in the Indian stock markets.

Investing in equities always entails risk regardless of the method used. New investors need to understand the principles of investing, their own risk tolerance, and their investment goals before venturing into the stock market. In addition, online investors may want to consider other risks. High Internet traffic may affect online investors' ability to access their account or transmit their orders. Online investors should be skeptical of stock advice and tips provided in chat rooms or bulletin boards. Investors should do their own research before acting on these tips. Also, for some online investors, there is a temptation to "overtrade" by trading too frequently or impulsively without considering their investment goals or risk tolerance. Overtrading can effect investment performance, raise trading costs, and complicate your tax situation.
