Morphology
The compound is fully compositional: a 'trader' is someone who trades and 'stock' refers to shares, so 'stock trader' straightforwardly means a person who trades stocks. This noun–noun construction is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Stock trader comes from older uses where stock meant the goods or money a person owned and trader meant someone who bought and sold. Imagine a person in a busy market swapping pieces of a company like trading cards; that is why a stock trader today buys and sells 'shares'.
