Do I HAVE to have a broker to trade online?

July 26th, 2008

Andy asked:


I know little about online trading or (investing in general), but I want to learn especially about Forex. All I know is buy low and sell hi concept which is self-explanatory and common sense in all trading.

However, do I HAVE to have a broker to trade online? After I learn about Forex trading, can’t I just open an account, do the practice trading for months or even a year, and do the trading myself online? Is this a common practice, or do majority of investors hire a Forex broker to do the trading for them?

    Hi,
    even i am new to investing/trading..here is my answer.

    The online account you have created is with a brokerage firm. When you place buy/sell orders, he is the one who executes it for you. You cannot directly interact with the stock exchange.
    Broker shall execute your call and charge you a nominal amount as brokerage.
