OVERVIEW OF ONLINE TRADING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES

It is impossible to deny the importance of technology in our modern life. Technology has had a significant impact on almost every aspect of modern life, including but not limited to socializing, commuting, shopping, studying, and everything else. Over the years, the impact of technology has grown to such an extent that even aspects such as investment and the stock market are beginning to feel some impact. The stock market and technological progress are important components of the modern world. Technology has led to fundamental changes in the way financial markets operate, starting with the very first stage of stock formation and continuing to trade those stocks. Technology has undoubtedly radically changed the way investments are made. Financial markets today are largely computerized ‒ from software-based bidding to price determination and direct clearing and settlement, computer technologies have replaced manual operations and simplified functions throughout the value chain in trading.

Thanks to the introduction of technology, the stock market has become more user-friendly, providing faster settlements on transactions, increased transparency, increased security, automated surveillance, and much more.
