Trading equities is the selling and buying of company shares or stocks, which are also referred to as equities on the financial market. There are a few ways in which one can invest in equities. Typically equity trading refers to both the purchase and selling of publicly-traded company shares through a stock exchange or in the form of over-the-counter products.

Every country comes equipped with its own organized market, also known as a stock exchange. On these exchanges, the shares of listed companies are purchased or sold. These shares can vary across industries or sectors, and each stock exchange comes with its own trading hours. Trading hours apply mainly to the weekdays while closing on the weekends, although this varies based on the country’s timetable.
