Which of these sentences is correct; Digital Global Trading or Digital Globe Trading


First of all, neither option is a sentence. They are phrases that mean very little without context.

The initial capital letters indicate that the phrase is intended to be a proper noun, perhaps the name of an organisation, in which case you should use the correct name.

Should the capitals be a mistake, as I suspect, then you need to consider the context and meaning. Are you talking about the trading of globes? Or are you talking about trading that takes place globally? The answer will indicate whether you use 'global' or 'globe'.
One sounds like an unoriginal marketing phrase used by a stockbroker firm, the other sounds like an online company that sells snow globes.

Then that's 'global trading'. No capitals. Even the 'global' is probaby unnecessary. Isn't all trading done 'digitally'? What's the sentence you're roughly wanting to get across?

It is a pretty meaningless name for a company, to be honest. All companies trade, most trade is digital, and you won't really be global. It says nothing about what you really do and does not engender trust. I suggest a rethink, especially if you are an Ebay or Amazon trader.
