Trading is the process of buying and selling financial assets, such as stocks, currencies, commodities, or cryptocurrencies, with the aim of making a profit. This can be done manually, by traders who analyze the markets and make real-time decisions, or automatically, through software programs that execute trades based on predefined algorithms.

📊 Types of Trading

1. Manual Trading

In manual trading, traders use online platforms to analyze the markets and place buy or sell orders. This method requires solid knowledge of financial markets and good risk management. Platforms like xStation provide advanced technical and fundamental analysis tools, facilitating the decision-making process for traders.

2. Automated Trading

Automated trading involves using software programs, known as trading robots or Expert Advisors (EAs), which execute trades automatically, based on defined algorithms. These robots can analyze the markets, identify opportunities, and place orders without human intervention, providing the advantage of fast execution and eliminating the emotional factor from trading decisions.
