To be very strait forward, I know nothing about trading and market. I only know that there is a stock exchange, you buy a product listed there and sell it when the price goes up ... I want to do that online.... Now i need your help. Please advice me which broker i should choose ? there is only icici bank and hdfc bank working in my city. Should i choose them as broker ? or go for someone else. I want to open an account with one lack and want to trade in shares for day and for long... i did call kassa they asked me what i want to trade in ? i said in securities to which they replied we r also offering forex trading. Here on traderji i have seen a post saying: forex trading is illigal in india if that is true then what kassa guy was offering me ? please tell me how to do forex trading ? is it buying USD by giving rupee and selling it off when the exchange rate decrees ? Please help me my family is forcing me to be an IAS which i do not want to be in any case .
