INTRODUCTION :-
The trading on stock exchanges in India used to take place through open outcry
without use of information technology for immediate matching or recording of trades.
This was time consuming and inefficient. This imposed limits on trading volumes
and efficiency. In order to provide efficiency, liquidity and transparency, NSE
introduced a nation-wide on-line fully automated Screen Based Trading System
(SBTS) where a member can punch into the computer quantities of securities and the
prices at which he likes to transact and the transaction is executed as soon as it finds a
matching sale or buy order from a counter party. SBTS electronically matches on a
strict price/time priority and hence cuts down on time, cost and risk of error, as well
as on fraud resulting in improved operational efficiency. It allows faster
incorporation of price sensitive information into prevailing prices, thus increasing the
informational efficiency of markets. It enables market participants, irrespective of
their geographical locations, to trade with one another simultaneously, improving the
depth and liquidity of the market. It provides full anonymity by accepting orders, big
or small, from members without revealing their identity, thus providing equal access
to everybody. It also provides a perfect audit trail, which helps to resolve disputes by
logging in the trade execution process in entirety. This sucked liquidity from other
exchanges and in the very first year of its operation, NSE became the leading stock
exchange in the country, impacting the fortunes of other exchanges and forcing them
to adopt SBTS also. Today India can boast that almost 100% trading take place
through electronic order matching.

was founded in 1878.
The exchange, while providing an efficient and transparent market for
trading in securities, upholds the interests of the investors and ensures redressed
of their grievances, whether against the companies or its own member brokers.
It also strives to educate and enlighten the investors by making available
necessary informative inputs and conducting investor education programmes.
A governing board comprising of 9 elected directors, 2 SEBI nominees,
7 public representative and executive director is the apex body, which decides
the policies and regulates the affairs of the exchange.
The executive director as the chief executive officer is responsible for
the day to day administration of the exchange. The average daily turnover of the
exchange during the year 2000-01 (April – March) was Rs. 3,984.16 crores and
average number of daily trade 5.69 lakhs.

Capita Markets by SEBI with effect from 2001, abolition account period
settlements and introduction of compulsory ruling settlements in all scripts

BSE INDICES
In order to enable the market participants, etc, to track the various ups and
downs in the Indian stock market, the exchange have introduced in 1986 and equity
stock index called BSE – SENSEX that subsequent became the barometer if the
moments of the share prices in the Indian stock market. It is a “Market capitalization
weighted” index of 30 component stock representing a sample of large, well
established and leading companies. The base year of sensex is1978-79.The Sensex is
widely reported in both domestic and international market through print as well as
electronic media.
Sensex is calculated using a market capitalization weighted method. As per this
methodology, the level of the index reflects the total market value of all 30
component stocks from different industries related to particular base period. The total
market value of the company is determined by multiplying the price of its stock by the
number of shares outstanding. Statisticians call a index of a set of combined variables
(such as price and number of shares) a composite index. An indexed number is used
to represent the result of this calculation in order to make the value easier to work
with the track over a time. It is much easier to graph a chart based on Indexed values
than one based on actual values worked over majority of the well known indices are
constructed using “Market capitalization weighted method.”
In practice, the daily calculation for SENSEX is done by dividing the aggregate
market value of the 30 companies in the Index by a number called the index Devisor.
The devisor is the only link to the original base period value of the sensex. The
divisor keeps the Index comparable over a period of time and if the reference point for
the entire index maintains adjustments. SENSEX is widely used to describe the mood

the exchange. A two tier administrative set up involving a company board and a

Reference Guide :-
Login :-
Double- click on the TT Advanced™ icon on your desktop to open up the
Login screen. Enter your Login ID and Password. Neither the Login ID nor the
30

31. Online Trading
Password is case sensitive. The Login ID is displayed in Caps as you type irrespective
of your caps lock setting or irrespective of whether you enter with the ‘Shift’ key
pressed. Similarly passwords entered in lower case are converted to upper case before
sending it to server.
If you are connecting through internet and you are behind a proxy server then
on the login screen click on the ‘Setting’ tab. Now click the Use Proxy checkbox,
proxy IP box will be enabled. Enter the IP on which your proxy server is installed.
Initial Password :-
If you are a first time user your password would have been communicated to
you by IIL. This password only allows you to login and establish your credentials
with the server. You will be forced to change your password immediately after the
first login.
The first login is actually a registration process where the server captures
certain key information about your system and compares them with every subsequent
login. If someone tries to hack into your account from any other system he will not be
allowed to login even if he has your password since the machine credentials would
not match. Also all such attempts will not be counted towards your unsuccessful
attempts tally and therefore your account will never be locked out due to someone
else’s mischief or unscrupulous attempt.
Since the machine credentials have to match on every subsequent login this
also poses a small problem. It completely removes your mobility. You can login only
from one PC – the PC which you used to first register yourself. In case you wish to
login from a different PC you will have to generate a Transit Key. Transit Key is a 20
character alpha numeric string that will be created on your current PC. You will have
to note down this number and enter it at the time of login in the new PC. As soon as
you successfully login with the Transit Key and your correct login credentials your
‘default’ PC will be changed to the new PC. To generate a Transit Key select the
31

32. Online Trading
Transit Key option from the File Menu.

touched their 52 week High or 52 week low. You can also analyse all quotes and

The most important operation that you will be doing on this terminal is to Buy

These options are also available on the MainMenu under the Market Menu. OE
window is different for cash and derivatives. If you want to explicitly open the
derivates OE window the hotkeys for the same are CTRL + F1 and CTRL + F2.
When OE window is invoked the application will sense if there is any active
data that can be populated to the OE window. Eg if you are currently in the Messages
window, there is no ‘active data’ for the OE window. In such cases, OE window will
39

40. Online Trading
be filled with scrip data that was contained in the OE window previously. If no scrip
information is available then you will get a blank OE window.

The orders that can be placed by you when the Market is Open is called a
Normal Market Order. These orders will be checked for adequacy of limits and sent
directly to the Exchange. In Normal Market you can place various types of orders –
limit orders, market orders, stop loss orders or IOC (Immediate or Cancel) orders.
Post market when Off Market Window is open you can place Offline orders. These
orders are accumulated at 5Paisa and sent to Exchange as soon as it opens. In Off
Market you can place only limit orders and market orders. Stop Loss and IOC orders
are disallowed
40

41. Online Trading
Types of orders ;-
1. Limit Orders – are orders where you specify the price while entering the order into
the system. You have to select the appropriate option to notify whether you are
placing the order at Market or at Limit. If you select the ‘Limit order’ option then you
have to enter a price that is in multiple of regular tick size (multiples of 0.05).
2. Market Orders – are when you place an order without a limit price with an
intention to get it executed at the best price obtainable at the time of entering the
order. Similar to above you have to select ‘Market order’ option. Limit Price text box
is disabled and any amount in the text box is ignored when the order packet is
prepared.
3. Stop Loss Orders – are when you place an order with a trigger price. Till the trigger
price specified in the order is reached or surpassed such orders are kept dormant. The
intention for placing a Stop Loss order is to restrict the maximum loss in a particular
position to a predetermined amount.
Stop Loss orders are always placed in pairs. The first order has to be a normal
order - either limit order or market order. The second order will be a stop loss order
that will ensure that maximum loss is restricted. Eg if you place a buy order at Rs100
and do not wish to take a loss of more than Rs2 then you will want to sell at Rs98,
when the market starts sliding contrary to your expectations. You can obviously keep
a watch on the market and sell when it slides and exit your position at Rs98. But this
may not always be possible. By entering a Stop Loss order you achieve the same
objective without a need to keep a watch on the market.
4. IOC Orders – are when you place an order with an IOC instruction i.e. with an
intention to get it executed immediately, failing which the order is cancelled. It is
possible that the order gets partially traded, and in such cases the remaining portion of
41

42. Online Trading
the order is cancelled immediately. Stop loss orders cannot be placed as IOC orders.
You can place a normal order (at limit or market) as an IOC order.
You must fill the Quantity text box. Quantity has to be in multiple of lot size.
In cash market most of the scrips have a lot size of 1. In Derivatives lot sizes vary
from scrip to scrip. Quantity field cannot be directly entered into in the Derivatives
OE window. You have to click on the up/down control next to the Quantity text box
and the quantity will increment/ decrement by lot size.

43

information.

Indicators :-
Indicators are typically used to gauge a particular aspect of price or volume
behavior. It is important to remember that there is no magic indicator that can give the
right signal under all market conditions. It is usual to see trend indicators give wrong
signals in a ranging market. In a trending market, momentum indicators may give too
many signals and result in wrong trading decisions.
It is always ideal to select a few indicators and use them to confirm signals
from each other. Also indicators based on different data elements (for the same time
period) are always better than those based on same data. Eg one indicator using the
closing price, one using volume and another using a trading range may be more
reliable when they confirm each other.
Indicators can be divided into the following categories :-
a. Trend indicators, are used to indicate the direction of a trend. Drawing a trend line
will give a general feel of the trend. Trend Indicator provide an objective measure of
the direction of the trend. The Trend Indicators included in the trading terminal are
“Simple Moving Averages, Exponential Moving Averages, Weighted Moving Averages,
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Ballinger Bands”.
b. Momentum indicators are used to measure the rate at which price is changing. The
Momentum indicators provided are Momentum, ROC, Relative Strength (RSI),
Stochastic and Williams %R.
49

50. Online Trading
c. Volume Indicators are used to confirm the strength of trends. Volume Indicators
provided are On Balance Volume and Money Flow index
d. Volatility Indicators are used to confirm price behavior. Volatility Indicators
provided are Average True Range and Bollinger Bands
Price Rate of Change
ROC is a refinement of Momentum and is easier to use, since results fluctuate
as percentage around a horizontal median called the zero line or equilibrium. ROC is
typically used in ranging markets to identify signs of weakness in trends and potential
trend reversals. In a trending market it often used in conjunction with a trend
indicator.
Price ROC shows the difference in percentage terms between current price and
the price ‘n’ days ago. Eg a 12-day Price ROC, that is most often used as an
overbought/oversold indicator, will compare current price with price 12 days ago. If
current price is higher then ROC value will be above zero and indicate that prices are
on the rise. Conversely if current price is lower than that 12 days ago, ROC value will
be lower than zero indicating that prices are falling.
To use this indicator you will need to set overbought and oversold levels based
on past observations. The levels should cut across at least two-thirds of the peaks and
troughs.
· If ROC crosses below oversold level and rises back above it, then it is a Buy signal
· If ROC crosses above overbought level and falls back below it, then it is a Sell
signal
· Bullish and bearish divergences indicate trend reversals

most brokers act with integrity, nonetheless, it is best to be aware of the risks.
3)Get a feel for how much time broker spends marketing and how much
attention your assets will receive.

through simple account transfer.

follows account period settlement cycle.
From Jan 4,1999, all categories of investors can deliver only in dematerialized form
with respect to a select list of securities.
In a span of about nine years, investors have switched over to electronic
[demat] settlement and National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) stands at the
centre of this change. In order to provide quality service to the users of depository,
NSDL launched a certification programme in depository operations in May 1999.

person who has qualified in the certification programme at each of their service
centres. This handbook is meant to help the candidates in their preparation for the

The Indian Capital Market :-
61

62. Online Trading
The function of the financial market is to facilitate the transfer of funds from
surplus sectors (lenders) to deficit sectors (borrowers). Normally, households have
investible funds or savings, which they lend to borrowers in the corporate and public
sectors whose requirement of funds far exceeds their savings. A financial market
consists of investors or buyers of securities, borrowers or sellers of securities,
intermediaries and regulatory bodies. Financial market does not refer to a physical
location. Formal trading rules, relationships and communication networks for
originating and trading financial securities link the participants in the market.
Organised money market :-
Indian financial system consists of money market and capital market. The
money market has two components - the organised and the unorganised. The
organized market is dominated by commercial banks. The other major participants are
the Reserve Bank of India, Life Insurance Corporation, General Insurance
Corporation, Unit Trust of India, Securities Trading Corporation of India Ltd.,
Discount and Finance House of India, other primary dealers, commercial banks and
mutual funds. The core of the money market is the inter-bank call money market
whereby short-term money borrowing/lending is effected to manage temporary
liquidity mismatches. The Reserve Bank of India occupies a strategic position of
managing market liquidity through open market operations of government securities,
access to its accommodation, cost (interest rates), availability of credit and other
monetary management tools. Normally, monetary assets of short-term nature,
generally less than one year, are dealt in this market.
Un-organised money market :-
Despite rapid expansion of the organised money market through a large
network of banking institutions that have extended their reach even to the rural areas,
there is still an active unorganised market. It consists of indigenous bankers and
moneylenders. In the unorganised market, there is no clear demarcation between
62

63. Online Trading
short-term and long-term finance and even between the purposes of finance. The
unorganised sector continues to
provide finance for trade as well as personal consumption. The inability of the poor to
meet the "creditworthiness" requirements of the banking sector make them take
recourse to the institutions that still remain outside the regulatory framework of
banking. But this market is shrinking.
The Capital market :-
The capital market consists of primary and secondary markets. The primary
market deals with the issue of new instruments by the corporate sector such as equity
shares, preference shares and debt instruments. Central and State governments,
various public sector industrial units (PSUs), statutory and other authorities such as
state electricity boards and port trusts also issue bonds/debt instruments.

In a rolling settlement, each trading day is considered as a trading period and

second working day. Typically trades taking place on Monday are settled on
Wednesday, Tuesday's trades are settled on Thursday and so on. For arriving at the
settlement day all intervening holidays, which include bank holidays, NSE/BSE
holidays, Saturdays and Sundays are excluded.

objections. The exchange purchases the requisite quantity in the auction market and
gives the delivery to the buying trading member. This process takes three to five days
66

67. Online Trading
to complete and thus in case if you have a purchase position and the shares are not
delivered by the opposite selling member, then there could be a delay in receiving the
shares, until such time that the exchange completes the auction process

exchange at market rate and the shares are transferred to the client's account. This
cycle is completed in T+3 days.

credit and the account is settled by the exchange. This cycle is completed in T+ 5
days.
What happens if no one offers shares in the auction market?
In case there is no offer for shares in the auction market, then as per the rules of
the NSE the sell trade is squared off at the highest price for the scrip in the relevant
settlement or at 20% above the last available trading price on the NSE, whichever is
higher.
The settlement process
The Settlement department carries out the pay-in and pay-out confirmation
process of securities on a settlement basis. The purpose of this process is to transfer
the securities to and fro, from the Client Beneficiary account to NSE/BSE via the
broker's (IL&FS INVESTSMART SECURITIES LIMITED) pool account.
