What is Trading account?
Hinglish mein padhein: Trading account kya hota hai?
A trading account with a SEBI-registered broker is what you use to place buy and sell orders on the exchange.
The trading account connects you to the exchange; the demat account stores what you own. Money for trades is held in your trading account's ledger with the broker.
PaisaTrade gives you a paper trading account with virtual money so you can learn how orders work before opening a real one.
