2. Open your account

Opening an account at an online broker is usually easy and straightforward, and takes place fully online. Most of the time, you just need to provide your name, address and other basic information, and maybe answer some questions about your wealth/income status, financial knowledge or trading experience.

Make sure you have your documents at hand, as

• copies of a photo ID
• some recent bank statements
• or utility bills

are usually required to verify your identity and residency.

3. Fund your account

So your trading account has been verified; the next step is to fund it – in other words, to deposit money that you will then use for investing. Some brokers require a minimum deposit when you open your account, but most brokers do not have such a requirement, allowing you to take your time before committing any funds.

All brokers will allow you to deposit or withdraw funds via bank transfer; an easy, usually free, though not always super-fast method. Withdrawing money to your bank account can take as long as three days.

Many brokers also let you deposit (though not withdraw) funds using credit or debit cards. A few will also accept so-called electronic wallets such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Skrill or Neteller. The biggest benefit of cards and e-wallets is that transactions take place instantly, allowing you to start investing – or reap the proceeds of a successful stock sale – right away.

4. Invest

You may already know which product you want to invest in; if not, it's worth checking out the research section of your broker, which often includes trading ideas and recommendations by in-house experts or third-party analysts.

Once you have settled on a stock, it's easy – just

• select it from the broker's search menu
• enter the amount
• invest

Most trading platforms will offer several order types - such as a "Market" order to invest at the current price, or a "Limit" order to invest later at a specific price. To learn more about various order types, read this article.
