Electronic trading

Hi there! So, do you know how you can buy things at a store or online with money? Well, grown-ups can also buy and sell things, like stocks and bonds, in something called the stock market.

Electronic trading is a way for people to buy and sell stocks and other things online, using computers and special software programs. This means they don't have to go to a physical place like a stock exchange to make a trade.

These electronic trading platforms have all the information about the stocks, like their prices and how many are available, and they help buyers and sellers connect with each other. It's kind of like a big online marketplace for stocks.

Some people might use special algorithms to help them make trades faster and more efficiently. But even if they use these fancy programs, they still have to know a lot about stocks and the market to make good choices about buying and selling.

So, electronic trading is really just a way for grown-ups to buy and sell things like stocks online instead of having to go to a physical place.
