Trading in Russia.

If citizens of the USSR could become acquainted with trading only through foreign films, then residents of Russia can already become traders on their own.

The era of exchange trading began to actively develop after the collapse of the Soviet Union, although from the beginning trading was the domain of a limited circle of professionals accredited at the exchange.

With the advent of the Internet, a radical change in the situation occurred, making trading on the stock exchange accessible to almost anyone; in addition, such a concept as margin trading began to be used more actively, which significantly increased the earnings and risks of traders.

Currently, trading in Russia is carried out in several directions.

• Speculation on the stock exchange - allows you to buy and sell shares of leading Russian enterprises, such as Gazprom, Sberbank, Rostelekom, etc., as well as securities of some foreign companies.

• Currencies ruble trading has recently become the most popular in this market segment .

Due to high profitability and fairly good trend forecasting. • Options trading - usually advertised by brokers as a simpler type of trading; in fact, only the process of opening transactions is simplified, and calculating the result is just as difficult as with classical trading.

Features of the Russian version of trading.

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

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

• Leverage - used by most domestic traders is simply huge; probably no other country has such a number of scalpers, the average leverage of 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, from the profit received from exchange trading it is equal to 13%, usually it is collected by the broker, but there are cases when the main legal address of the company is outside of Russia, then you will have to pay the taxes yourself.
