Trading in Russia.

While Soviet citizens were only introduced to trading through foreign films, Russians can now become traders themselves.

The era of stock trading flourished after the collapse of the Soviet Union, although initially, trading was restricted to a limited circle of professionals accredited by the exchange.

The advent of the internet radically changed the situation, making stock trading accessible to virtually anyone. Furthermore, margin trading has become more widely used, significantly increasing traders' earnings and risks.

Currently, trading in Russia operates in several directions.

• Stock exchange speculation - allows you to buy and sell shares of leading Russian companies such as Gazprom, Sberbank, Rostelecom, etc., as well as securities of some foreign companies.

• Currencies trading in the ruble has recently become the most popular in this market segment . Due to its high profitability and fairly good trend predictability.

• Options trading - is usually advertised by brokers as a simpler type of trading, but in fact, only the process of opening transactions is simplified, and calculating the result is just as difficult as with classic trading.

Features of the Russian version of trading.

• Brokers - as is usual with us, where there is big money, there are always a lot of scammers, among the brokerage companies currently providing dealing services, there are quite a lot of outright scammers.

Reliable Russian brokers usually have licenses for this type of activity and have been working on the exchange for many years, in addition, they have real offices in different cities of the country.

• Leverage - used by most domestic traders is simply enormous; there is probably no other country with such a large number of scalpers, the average leverage among which is 1:300.
This significantly increases trading risks and the number of losers, which creates a negative atmosphere in Russian trading.

• Taxes - it is one of the lowest, on profits received from exchange trading equal to 13%, usually collected by the broker, but there are cases when the main legal address of the company is located outside of Russia, then you will have to pay the taxes yourself.
