HOW TO BUY APPLE STOCK IN TAIWAN

Step 2: Open an account

Once you have chosen the broker you feel it's the best alternative you have, you will have to create an account. First of all, remember to double check if the Broker opens accounts to clients in Taiwan since a handful of them don't. This process will feel like opening an account with one of your phone apps.

In most brokers, the process will be straightforward and will be completed on the same day, although in some instances, it may take a couple of days to verify your identity and financial background.

Step 3: Deposit money into your account

Once you have your trading account ready, the next step is to make the first deposit of funds. The minimum is usually around USD 100-200, or the equivalent in Euros, Aussie Dollars or Sterling. Funding your account can be completed via credit card, debit card, bank transfer or Paypal, as well as Skrill or Neteller. However, be aware that the broker might charge you an extra fee with some payment methods.

This deposit will provide you with the liquidity in the account to buy the equivalent in Apple shares. Adding funds is usually an instant process. In other words, you will have access to your capital when you authorize the operation (excepting a bank transfer, which could take up to 3 business days).

Step 4: Buy Apple Stock

You are in the last step to be able to own Apple shares!

To do this, go to the broker's search engine, write Apple (or its trading symbol AAPL) and select it. Usually, a small box will appear where you must fill:

• The number of Apple Shares you wish to buy.

• The price at which you would like to execute the buy order if you would like the current price to drop a bit before you go in. Alternatively, you could go with the 'Market Order', which will execute the buy transaction at the current market's

Finally, execute the trade by clicking "Execute Trade", "Buy", or whatever message the order box displays. And, done. Congratulations, you now own Apple shares.

Further Step: Review your investment in Apple regularly

Once the trade completes, it is now time to monitor it regularly. Be up to date with Apple's news and the price's technical movements.

You will need to decide your exit strategy. In other words, the triggers and period you want to keep the position open or closed. Are you a long term investor? a short-term trader? The previous questions are the primary consideration you have to have when thinking about your exit strategy. In the case of making a short-term trade, you will need to be aware of the news and technical movements daily, but if you want to take the long-term trade, you will need to be mindful of the essential info, such as quarterly results.

You can decide at any time what to do with your shares. Therefore, you will be able to manage your trade and change it at any time according to your convenience.

If, for example, you had planned to keep the stock for an extended period, but after a few days, the stock rises a high percentage, you can decide whether to sell them at that time or continue with your investment strategy and keep it longer.

Remember to set goals, both for-profits and losses, and secure your capital. To do this, use the Take Profit and Stop Loss tools and modify them according to the target price you want to win or the maximum loss you want to bear.
