Step 3: Placing the Order
After the account is opened successfully a notification will be provided via email or message. Then the investor can begin the trading as per his/her wish. The trading or investment is done by purchasing a specified number of shares of a particular company. The order when placed is incomplete until the order status shows complete. Different online trading platforms follow different symbols to mark the order placing. Order can also be placed via a telephonic call with the broker. There are different types of orders:
Buy Orders
Buy orders are placed when the price of the share is expected to rise. This can be understood by simple Demand-Supply curve. As the demand increases people buy more and the price gradually rises. The same logic applies in the share market. As the price of the share rises, the investors feel the price will further rise and they buy the shares. However, the amount of quantity is fully dependent on the availability of funds and risk associated with the particular share.
