2-Red and Green color on a trading platform are not a game you can play with these are based on actual transactions.

5-The market will close around my nap time.



From 10-12 years old:



1-Bid and Ask, you buy on the ASK price and you sell on BID price.



2- Quantity is the number of stocks you are willing to purchase.

5-I loved the fireworks when market opens and close.



From 13-15:

1- I placed my first market order.



2-I placed my second order which was limit.

6-I learned that in normal Mondays stocks are usually green and in a normal Fridays stocks are usually red because of profit taking.



7-Swing trading is way better than daily trading for greater profit and maximum returns.



8-I learned that hesitation is what makes you a loser in the stock market.
