How to start trading at BCSE
- Choose a broker
To conduct a transaction on BCSE, you need the services of a broker - a professional participant in the securities market. The list of brokers can be found on the official BCSE website (Investors > Financial market participants).
Suggestion: when choosing a broker, pay attention to the size of his commissions for making transactions, the presence of a trading terminal, as well as the possibility of remote deposit of a brokerage account.
- Conclude an agreement and deposit broker`s account
Carefully study the brokerage contract offered by the broker.
Suggestion: Pay attention to the commission for depositing a broker's account for buying securities and commissions for withdrawing funds received from the sale of securities.
- Open a depo account
Your securities will be deposited on the special account called a depo account. The custodian may be a separate company that is not affiliated with your broker. However, your broker can combine these two functions.
Important! A separate fee may be charged for opening a securities account and for keeping securities.
- Install the required software
The broker may offer you special software for remote orders submission for on-exchange transactions, for example, a mobile application for your phone.
Suggestion: if the broker does not have its own mobile application, ask him to connect you to a remote client terminal (UKT) developed by BCSE and to install it on your computer.
