Financial markets are places where different types of assets are traded.
Each market has its own behavior, risk level, and opportunities.
Understanding them helps you choose where to trade.
💡 You don’t need to trade everywhere — mastering one market is better than jumping between and falling face first.

The stock market allows you to buy and sell ownership in companies.
Examples include NSE (India) and NYSE (USA).

✔ Huge price movements
✔ Open all day, every day
⚠️ Higher risk due to volatility
Rugg-pulls often take place here, as anyone can launch a cypto coin. False actors often fake buy their own coin to make it look suitable and when people start to tag in they sell of their entire holding and make the coin fall off.
Best stick to well known assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, etc.
🛢️ Commodities Market
This market involves trading physical goods like gold, silver, oil, and agricultural products.
✔ Influenced by supply & demand
