• Retail Trading: This involves buying goods from wholesalers or manufacturers and selling them to end consumers. Retailers operate in a wide range of industries, from clothing and electronics to food and household products.
• Wholesale Trading: Wholesale traders purchase goods in bulk from manufacturers or producers and then sell them to retailers or other businesses. They typically operate on a larger scale than retailers and may offer discounts for bulk purchases.
• Import and Export Trading: Importers buy products from foreign countries and bring them into their home country for resale, while exporters sell products to foreign markets. Import and export trading involves international trade and often requires knowledge of trade regulations, customs procedures, and currency exchange.
• Commodity Trading: Commodity traders buy and sell raw materials or primary agricultural products, such as oil, gold, wheat, or coffee. These trades often take place on commodities exchanges and can be physical (actual delivery of the goods) or derivative (contracts based on the price of the commodities).
• Online Trading: With the advent of the internet, online trading has become increasingly popular. It encompasses various forms of trading, including stock trading, forex trading, cryptocurrency trading, and more, conducted through online platforms and brokerages.

General trading can be done by individuals, businesses, or financial institutions, and it often involves risk management, market analysis, and a deep understanding of the products being traded. Regulatory bodies oversee many aspects of trading activities to ensure fair and transparent markets.
