Abstract: The rapid development of digital technology has transformed traditional financial markets, leading to the emergence of online trading platforms that allow individuals to buy and sell financial assets through the internet. Online trading has increased market accessibility, re-duced transaction costs, and enabled real-time participation in financial markets. It has also encouraged greater participation from retail investors who were previously excluded from formal trading systems. However, despite these advantages, online trading involves signifi-cant risks such as high market volatility, cyber fraud, emotional decision-making, and lack of financial knowledge. This study aims to analyze the rise of online trading, identify the major opportunities created by it, and examine the risks associated with online trading activ-ities. The study is based on secondary data collected from academic journals, books, and reports published by recognized financial institutions.
