So much information can never be provided by manual brokers to traders. Trading is also easier as trades can be booked online without much hassle. Traders can book any number of trades without being concerned about their stock value declining or appreciating after being booked. Trades once booked cannot be reversed and can only be leveled by an equal trade.
