Trading operation refers to the process of buying and selling financial assets—such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, forex, or commodities—on a trading platform or exchange. It involves executing trades based on market analysis, strategies, and risk management rules. Key components of trading operations include order placement (market, limit, stop orders), monitoring market trends, and managing portfolios. Traders may operate manually or use automated systems (algorithms or bots). Successful trading operations require discipline, technical and fundamental analysis, and real-time decision-making. In professional settings, trading operations also cover compliance, trade settlement, and ensuring accurate transaction records to minimize errors and financial risks.
