Equity trading is the buying and selling of company stock shares on a stock exchange.

An investor buys shares of a company's stock through a brokerage account, and can later sell those shares for a profit (or loss) based on the stock's performance.

The most common equity markets are the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

The primary risk of equity trading is that the stock price may decrease, resulting in a loss for the investor. Other risks include economic conditions and market fluctuations, as well as changes in the specific company's performance.

The potential for high returns is the main advantage of equity trading. Additionally, owning stock in a company can also provide a sense of ownership and can make an investor feel more connected to the company.

Common metrics used to evaluate a stock include price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), earnings per share (EPS), and dividend yield.

An order to buy or sell shares of a stock can be placed through a broker or trading platform. An investor can specify the number of shares and the price at which they wish to buy or sell the stock.

The minimum amount required to start investing in equities can vary depending on the Company you intend to purchase.

Additionally, commission-free online trading platforms are also available, which may allow you to start investing with as little as Rs.1.

It is also worth noting that there are fractional shares trading like ETF, which allow you to buy a portion of a share instead of a full share. This can make it easier for investors with less capital to invest in high-priced stocks.

However, regardless of the minimum required amount, it is important to remember that equity investing is generally considered a long-term strategy, and it's advisable to invest only what you have as surplus funds and always diversify your portfolio. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that you should always do your due diligence and research when choosing stocks to invest in and make sure you understand the risks and potential returns of your investments.
