Hi,all
Offline trading is the trading where you must have a stock broker to deal in stocks and make stock market investments.In this trading you have to be in touch with the broker who manages your portfolio.You have to do all the activities like informing him about buying the stocks(Numbers of the stocks you want to buy)and exit order.
Conversely,In case of online trading you are trading on the real time. No phone calls and no wait time, you can directly sell or buy stocks in about no time and get the stocks at the price that are showing on your screen.You just have to do the net.We can say you have to what your broker does on your behalf for you.Hope it helps for more do tell us.
Happy Trading!!

i have a question ...

what is that parameter based on which one can buy a particular stock... im confused here 'coz i have a few of them say ratios help in deciding while i also have few saying that net profit after tax deduction is all that matters !!!

Well there may not be a magic formula, but if as an investor you choose to follow some basic common sense principles mentioned below-you really will not go wrong.

Rule 1- Make the right choice

Buy a Winner, Own a Winner. That’s right. you don’t have to find an undiscovered stock to do well. Buying companies that consistently do well is a good concept.Do your own research, or use a professional. Remember, the masses are usually wrong. When all the pundits on CNBC say the market can only go lower look for a turn upDo your research carefully It is not enough to look at the Price Earning Ratio of a company. You need to look at the P/E Ratio versus the past, current and estimated future growth rate. If a company has a P/E of 15 and is growing at 12% annually, all things being equal, it probably will not do as well as a company with a P/E of 20 which has a growth rate of 25%. Also diversification can save your life…your investment life that is. This is the proverbial "don’t put all your eggs in one basket," rule. We are not trying to gamble here; we are trying to invest. Don’t put so much money in one stock that if it doesn’t work out it will change your lifestyle for the worse

Rule 2-Sell the right stocks
Sell your losers and let your winners run. How many times have you sold a stock that was up a few points while keeping one that was down? Guess what? Wrong move. The stock going up is doing what you expected; the one going down is not doing what you expected. Sell the loser! Not the winner.

Rule 3-Buy and sell smartly

Consider buying when there is blood in the streets. Of course we don’t mean this literally. But the historical fact is that the stock market goes up, the stock market goes down and then the stock market goes back up. When the market has been slaughtered there are always opportunities. If you buy on rumor. Sell on News.if the rumor never turns into an announcement, pick your time to sell. You bought the stock for a reason. If the reason is not there…SELL

Rule 4-Watch the trends

Stocks tend to move in groups. That’s why many stocks in the same sector like technology, health care, or banking, as examples, move in the same direction at the same time.The secret of making money at the bourses doesn’t lie in buying low and selling high , but a more an identification of what to buy and what to sell (where many investors go wrong) and then buying or selling the same smartly-i.e.-at the right time and price!Hope it will help you.

Happy Trading!!

Hey thanks !!

that was quite satisfying answer....
I just came across another concept ..." stop loss "
Can you please let me know about it. and also let me if there are any other such concepts that can help me to overcome losses.

Stoploss simply means to stop your loss.it is a price till what you can bear maximum loss on a share.So you put stoploss price in your trade.
An order placed with a 'trigger price'. It is placed to minimise the losses and the order can be either for a purchase or a sale.If your stocks comes touches or stoloss price you will have loss till your stoploss price.

Thank you for the information...is it ok to share opinion on various existing stocks on this thread.

In online trading you have an online trading platform where you can directly buy or sell stocks real time whereas in offline trading you need to inform stock brokers to place your call. Online trading is more convenient as there is no waiting time and also need not have to rely on brokers availability.

In offline trading you must have a stock broker who will place you order on your behalf. Time and place is a big constraint in offline trading. In online trading place is no more a constraint. Traders can trade on their own through internet in real time and use market opportunities in a better way.
