Expanding Your Portfolio
Trading instruments, or securities, represent the various markets where you can engage in trading activities. While the stock market is widely known, it is just one of several marketplaces for trading securities. Additional markets include forex, bonds, over-the-counter (OTC), derivatives, commodities, and the rapidly growing cryptocurrency market. These financial markets operate through the trading of various instruments such as equities, bonds, commodities, currencies, and derivatives.
Popular trading instruments experience significant daily trading volumes. Stocks, ETFs, futures contracts, forward contracts, options, currency derivatives, and CFDs often lead in trading volume. Trading instruments are typically regulated by securities and exchange commissions worldwide, ensuring compliance from companies involved in the trading process.
