When it comes to trading in financial markets, there are two main types of traders: retail traders and professional traders.

While both engage in buying and selling securities, (this refers to Stocks, Futures, Crypto, and Forex) there are significant differences between the two.

Retail traders are individual traders who trade for their own accounts and typically do not have professional training or certification. They often trade from home or personal computers and use their own capital to invest in the markets. Retail traders usually trade in small amounts and may focus on a particular market or security, such as stocks or currencies.

Professional traders, on the other hand, are individuals who trade on behalf of an organization or institution, such as a hedge fund or investment bank. They typically have extensive training and experience in the financial markets and may hold professional certifications, such as the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation. Professional traders may trade large volumes of securities and use complex trading strategies to generate returns for their clients.
