Drawbacks of Online Trading: –

There are various disadvantages of Online trading which are described as follows: –

  • Risk of Excessive Trading: –

The biggest disadvantage of online trading is that you may end up in doing excessive trading because what happens in this type of trading is that since you constantly watch price you end up doing those traders also which you shouldn’t have done resulting in loss which is not the case with offline traders where you ask the broker to put order at particular price and when stock reaches that price brokers executes that order and hence the issue of excessive trading never arises (Techie, 2018).

  • No scope of Guidance from Broker: –

Another limitation of online trading is that an individual will never be able to develop personal relations with the broker who can be of great help when you are in doubt as many brokers give advice regarding stocks which can result in profits for both investors as well as a trader. In simple words, if you have a sound financial knowledge and can take a decision on your own then only you should go for online trading (Techie, 2018).

  • Error & Connectivity Problems: –

Another problem with this type of trading is that since people are not brokers, they can make mistakes in putting orders which can lead to big losses for investor or trader. Besides, it is dependent on internet and if there is some connectivity problem then you will be in trouble as you will not be able to place the order which is not the case with brokers where you can put orders on the telephone and it does not require any internet (Techie, 2018).
