Stocks Trading

Whether you are an experienced investor or just starting to trade, this page provides information, tools, and guidance to help you understand how stock trading works and how you can access it through LYNX.

Disclaimer
Trading in financial instruments involves risks, including the potential loss of your invested capital. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results. You should ensure that any investment decision is based on your own judgment and, where appropriate, seek independent financial advice.

Getting started

Search Products

Use the search tools to look up stocks and other instruments by name, ticker symbol, or ISIN. Availability depends on your account permissions and access to market data subscriptions.

Create Orders

You can create and submit orders for financial instruments via the available platforms. Order execution depends on market conditions, product type, and order specifications.

Discover Short Selling

Short selling is a strategy where an investor seeks to profit from a potential decline in a security’s price. It also carries significant risks, such as unlimited potential loss if the security price rises. Learn the fundamentals and risks before considering this trading approach.

Evolve your Stocks trading

Access insights and tools that can support your stock trading decisions.

Manage Trading Permissions

Adjust your trading permissions in Client Portal to match your needs. Some instruments or strategies may only be accessible if you meet certain knowledge and experience requirements.

Construct Charts

Charts and graphs can help visualize market movements and support technical analysis. Please note that chart analysis is only one of many tools and does not guarantee successful investment outcomes.

Market data subscriptions provide access to live price quotes and order book information. Without an active subscription, only delayed or limited data may be available. The availability of real-time data depends on exchange agreements, and fees for these subscriptions are determined by the individual exchanges and passed on to clients without surcharge from LYNX.

Manage your portfolio

When trading stocks, it is important to monitor your portfolio and remain aware of events that may influence the value of your holdings.

Optimize your Watchlists

Watchlists allow you to track selected instruments in one place. Data availability depends on your subscriptions and permissions.

Determine your Dividends

Dividends represent income distributed by certain companies to their shareholders. Dividend payments, amounts, and schedules are determined by the issuing company and may change over time.

Control your Corporate Actions

Some corporate actions (such as rights issues, splits, or mergers) require you to make an active choice. You can manage these in the Corporate Action Manager. Instructions for submitting choices are available here.
