Learn the 6 key steps to begin your stock market journey.
India's stock market offers diverse trading styles for every kind of investor from long-term wealth builders to active day traders.
Buy and sell stocks within the same trading day. Intraday trading requires active monitoring of market movements and carries a higher level of risk.
Buy and hold eligible stocks for days, months or years, with shares credited to your Demat account after settlement. This approach can be used to build a long-term investment portfolio.
Futures and Options (F&O) are derivatives linked to an underlying asset. Futures involve an obligation to buy or sell, while options provide a right, but not an obligation. F&O trading involves leverage and significant risk.
Swing trading involves holding positions for several days or weeks to capture short- to medium-term market movements. Traders use technical analysis and market trends to identify potential entry and exit points.
Currency trading involves trading permitted currency pairs such as USD/INR and EUR/INR through applicable exchanges. Currency markets are influenced by interest rates, inflation, central bank policies, and global economic events. Separate segment activation may be required.
Trade commodities such as gold, silver, crude oil, natural gas and agricultural products through applicable commodity exchanges. Commodity trading involves market risks and requires an understanding of commodity price movements.
Up to 5X buying power on eligible stocks
Gold and silver contracts for trading and hedging price moves.
Crude oil and natural gas contracts linked to global energy demand.
Copper, zinc and more, driven by industrial demand.
Agri commodities on NCDEX, tied to crop cycles and seasonal demand.

I had no idea where to start. My PESB relationship manager explained everything clearly, matched funds to my retirement goal, and set up my SIP in one call. Two years on I feel completely in control.
PESB didn't push any specific fund. They asked about my goals first child's education, 12 years away and built a portfolio around that. The research team's shortlist made the decision easy.
Switching to PESB gave me something I didn't expect a quarterly review call where someone actually explains what changed and why. The SEBI registered research makes a real difference.
