Demat Account? Sounds Fancy. What is it?

QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.![]()
- A Trading Account: Think of this as your virtual shopping cart for shares. ICICI Direct can sort you out with both a Demat account and a trading account in one fell swoop.
- Funds: Buying shares ain't free, my friend. Make sure your bank account is prepped to handle your newfound stock market swagger.
2. Find Your Perfect Match: The market is full of potential partners (a.k.a. stocks). Research different companies, check their track record, and pick ones that tickle your fancy (and hopefully make you some money too).
3. Place Your Order: This is where your trading account comes in. Log in, find your chosen stock, and hit that sweet "buy" button. You can choose different order types, but for now, let's keep it simple.
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.![]()
4. The Waiting Game (with Occasional Refreshing): The stock exchange is like a digital marketplace, and your order needs to find a seller. Don't worry, it usually doesn't take too long, but feel free to refresh that page like you're waiting for your pizza delivery.
5. Boom! You're a Shareholder!: Congratulations! You've officially bought your first share. Now, sit back, relax, and watch your portfolio (hopefully) grow.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.![]()
Pro Tip: While you're waiting for your riches to roll in, don't forget to check the news and stay updated on the market. Knowledge is power, my friend!
Selling Shares: Cashing In on Your Success
So, you've decided to sell some shares. Maybe you need a vacation to celebrate your stock market prowess, or maybe you just fancy a change. No worries, selling is just as easy as buying.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.![]()
1. Head Back to Your Trading Account: You know the drill by now.
2. Find Your Shares: Look for the stock you want to sell and select the "sell" option.

4. Hit that Button!: Click "sell" and watch your shares find a new home (and some cash find its way to your bank account).
