2
Investors buy shares
By buying these shares, investors become shareholders.
3

How Does Margin Trading Work?
Margin trading allows investors to buy shares with credit provided by the brokerage firm, in addition to their own funds.
In margin trading, losses can exceed the equity you put in. Selling shares at a loss does not remove the credit debt or the obligation to pay interest.
1
The credit limit and terms are set
The required agreements are completed; the credit limit, interest rate and collateral terms are set.
2
Shares are bought on credit
Within the set limit and equity requirements, the investor buys shares eligible for margin trading.
3
The equity level is monitored
If equity falls short, a margin call is issued. If the shortfall is not covered within the given period, a forced sale may be carried out in line with the regulations and the agreement.
4
The credit is repaid
The credit used is settled, together with interest and other costs, according to the terms of the agreement.
How a Borsa İstanbul Trade Works, from Order to Settlement
1
Placing the Order
In ne10 or the Web Branch, choose the share and enter the quantity and your price condition. Your confirmation sends the order on its way.
2
Transmission to the Exchange
Neo Menkul transmits your order electronically to Borsa İstanbul, where it takes its place in the order book.
3
Matching and Execution
The trade executes when there is an order on the other side at a matching price. Matching follows price and time priority. An in-app notification tells you the result.

Settlement and Value Date
The trade settles at the end of the second business day after the trade date (T+2). That day is the value date: the shares and the trade amount change hands, and the trade takes effect.
The Markets Where Turkish Stocks Trade
On Borsa İstanbul, shares trade in separate markets, grouped by the size and status of each company's public offering.
Main Market
The threshold is lower: a publicly offered portion with a market value between 500 million TRY and 2 billion TRY at initial listing.
Sub-Market
This market takes shares whose publicly offered portion had a market value between 200 million TRY and 500 million TRY at initial listing.
Watchlist Market
When developments could lead to a company's removal from the Star Market, Main Market or Sub-Market, Borsa İstanbul rules put it under close monitoring, and its shares trade here. Shares on the Watchlist Market may carry higher risk. Review the company's disclosures on the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) before you trade.
Pre-Market Trading Platform
Some public companies have shares that are not traded on the exchange. When Borsa İstanbul decides to admit those shares to this platform, they trade here.
Regulated, Transparent Stock Trading
Your orders reach the market through Neo Menkul, an investment firm authorized by the Capital Markets Board of Türkiye (CMB). They execute on an organized, supervised market whose rules are set in advance. Prices form in the open.

How does the settlement process work for stock transactions?
Shares settle at T+2, the second business day after the trade, and that's when the trade amount and the shares reach the accounts. Settlement uses multilateral netting: payments are made from funds that accumulate in the accounts on the same day, on a delivery versus payment (DVP) basis.
What should be considered when investing in stocks?
A share's price is shaped by the company's performance, supply and demand, and general market conditions, and its direction cannot be known in advance. You may lose some or all of the amount you invest. Read the Trading Rules Disclosure Form and the Risk Disclosure Forms before you trade.
