How do novices buy stocks?

First, you need to open a securities account, and then you can trade stocks.

1. If you are an individual investor who has reached the age of 18 and holds a second-generation resident ID card within the validity period, you can open a securities account.

2. Individual investors can handle it through the on-site counter of the business department or open an account by themselves. You need to prepare your second-generation ID card and a bank savings card with the same name (some banks support passbooks).

If you need to go to the counter, you need to go directly to the business outlet 9- 16 on the trading day. You can open an account in the local securities business department.

If you need to open your own account, you can download the account opening app through official website, brokers and mobile APP Mall. For example, the account opening of GF Securities is "GF Securities Account Opening" or "GF Easy Gold Rush", and you can complete the account opening procedures yourself. When you open an account, you can generally choose the sales department. You can choose the local business department as your account opening business department. If there is no local business department, you can choose the Internet business department to open an account.

3. The general process includes uploading ID card photos, risk assessment, password setting, bank card binding, video authentication (two-way/one-way, GF Securities is a one-way video, no need to queue up) and agreement signing.

The account opening process generally supports 7*24 hours submission. After the process is submitted, it will be reviewed by the staff of the securities company. After approval, the system will open a securities account at 9:00- 16:00 on the trading day. After opening an account, shares can be traded on the next trading day. Therefore, if you want to trade stocks as soon as possible, it is recommended to submit an account opening application before the trading day 16:00.

4. When opening an account, you can choose to open a securities account in Shanghai market or Shenzhen market, or both markets. If you need to trade stocks listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, you can choose to open securities accounts in both the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

5. Read and understand the account opening agreement and risk disclosure, and contact customer service in time if you have any questions during account opening. For example, in the process of opening an account with GF Securities, you can contact customer service online through "Must Answer".

6. Pay attention to receiving SMS after opening an account.

2. After opening an account successfully, download the official trading software, such as "Guangfa Easy Gold Rush" of GF Securities, from the mobile phone application mall or official website, and log in to check whether the account has been successfully opened and activated, and whether the bank card has been successfully bound.

Third, before trading, understand the trading rules and basic knowledge of stock trading. If you can view the trading rules through the investment base.
