Trading Account

People are often confused between a trading account and a demat account.

A demat account is the one that holds the shares in an electronic format. A trading account, on the other hand, is necessary for buying and selling of shares in the stock market.

A trading account basically is an investment account that holds securities, cash and other holdings. It acts as a link between the bank account and the demat account of the trading account holder.

A trading account is held by a financial institution and is managed by an investment dealer for the account holder to run a trading strategy.

How does a Trading Account works?

As mentioned earlier, a trading account is a link between an investors’ bank account and demat account. If the investor wants to buy shares, he has to place an order through his trading account for the same.

When the transaction done by the investor is processed by the exchange and is finally executed, the required number of shares are credited to the investors’ demat account.

The sum required for completing the transaction is deducted from the bank account of the investor.

Similarly, when an investor wants to sell the shares held by him, he places a sell order.

The transaction goes to the relevant stock exchange for processing and the required number of shares are debited from his demat account.

On the execution of the order, the invetsors’ bank account is credited with the proportionate sum.
