Retail traders are individual investors who buy and sell securities—like stocks, options, or crypto—using personal funds, typically via online brokerage platforms.

Anyone with a brokerage account can participate, benefiting from potential profits, portfolio diversification, and financial market accessibility without institutional backing.
