Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Introduction of the project

A good broker system must be able to cope with an extremely complex and dynamic
environment.
The microstructure of the stock market in which brokers work is highly dynamic and volatile.
Many stocks are available to be bought and sold, each exhibiting its own patterns and
characteristics that are highly unpredictable. With so many options and considerations that need
to be taken into account, it is an extremely difficult task for a broker to investigate aspects of the
stock market and consistently provide effective advice to their clients.
Thus, brokers perform their day-to-day tasks with the aid of a broker system.
Such a system should provide tools for interacting with exchanges and performing analysis. As a
consequence, these broker systems are quite large and complicated by themselves. This research
aims to analysis Stock broker on the basis of their services, products, growth, and their
competitiveness. Because Stockbrokers are one of the main participants in stock exchanges
worldwide, they often act as an agent for their clients, making trades on their behalf. They also
act as advisors, providing suggestions to their clients on what stocks to buy and sell.

1.2 Objective of Study
Indias Economic growth is not a consumption driven growth but it is an Investment driven
growth. And the young population is more and more investing in the stock market and this led to
a rising participation of domestic investors. But they do not get the proper guidance and not
knowing much about the investment. Without having proper knowledge about the companys
fundamentals and business, most of the Indian Investors put the money in an unknown business
and suffering losses or their Investment has not been growing as what they expect.

So in this project, I focused on the individual Investor who always believe on long term
Investment and can make a good portfolio, giving the proper guidance regarding the fundamental
analysis which many analysts and experts follows, it includes various simpler strategies that any
one can apply and get entered into the stock market and can select a good stock by their own
analysis albeit rely on the information of brokers and At last, investor also blame to a broker.

1.3 Scope of Study
Investment decision are crucial as they involve risk and uncertainty and it become even more
crucial for an investor to make investment decision with his hard earned money as he does not
want to lost it. This brings about the need for Investment analysis. Investment analysis helps the
Investments decision-maker by identifying the fairly priced or under price Investment which are
most likely to produce the desired results. In simple words, it helps the investor to take correct
investment decisions.
Investment analysis involves detailed analysis of security, projection of future dividends,
forecast of share price in future and estimating intrinsic value of security based on forecast of
earnings and dividends. In a simpler sense, Investment analysis is the analysis of fundamental
value of the shares and its forecast for the future for the future through calculation of intrinsic
worth of the share.
Identification of the Investors objectives, constraints and preferences at Far Sight Securities Ltd
Strategies are to be developed and implemented in tune with Investment policy
formulated.
To reduce the future risk in advance.
To earn maximum profit in the Investment.
Review and monitoring of the performance of the Portfolio.
Finally the evaluation of the Portfolio.

Chapter 2: CAPITAL MARKET
Capital markets may be classified as primary markets and secondary markets. In primary
markets, new stock or bond issues are sold to investors via a mechanism known as underwriting.
In the secondary markets, existing securities are sold and bought among investors or traders,
usually on a securities exchange, over-the-counter, or elsewhere.


2.1: PRIMARY MARKET
The primary market is that part of the capital market that deals with the issuance of new
securities. Companies, governments or public sector institutions can obtain funding through the
sale of a new stock or bond issue. This is typically done through a syndicate of securities dealers.
The process of selling new issues to investors is called underwriting. In the case of a new stock
issue, this sale is an initial public offering (IPO). Dealers earn a commission that is built into the
price of the security offering, though it can be found in the prospectus.

Features of primary markets are:
This is the market for new long term equity capital. The primary market is the market
where the securities are sold for the first time. Therefore it is also called the new issue
market (NIM).
In a primary issue, the securities are issued by the company directly to investors.
The company receives the money and issues new security certificates to the investors.
Primary issues are used by companies for the purpose of setting up new business or for
expanding or modernizing the existing business.
The primary market performs the crucial function of facilitating capital formation in the
economy.
The new issue market does not include certain other sources of new long term external
finance, such as loans from financial institutions. Borrowers in the new issue market may
be raising capital for converting private capital into public capital; this is known as
"going public."
The financial assets sold can only be redeemed by the original holder.

Methods of issuing securities in the primary market are:
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (IPO)
An initial public stock offering (IPO) referred to simply as an "offering" or "flotation," is when a
company (called the issuer) issues common stock or shares to the public for the first time. They
are often issued by smaller, younger companies seeking capital to expand, but can also be done
by large privately-owned companies looking to become publicly traded.
In an IPO the issuer may obtain the assistance of an underwriting firm, which helps it determine
what type of security to issue (common or preferred), best offering price and time to bring it to
market.
An IPO can be a risky investment. For the individual investor, it is tough to predict what the
stock or shares will do on its initial day of trading and in the near future since there is often little
CAPITAL MARKET
6

historical data with which to analyze the company. Also, most IPOs are of companies going
through a transitory growth period, and they are therefore subject to additional uncertainty
regarding their future value.
2.2: SECONDARY MARKET
Secondary market refers to a market where securities are traded after being initially offered to
the public in the primary market and/or listed on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the
Trading is done in the secondary market. Secondary market comprises of equity markets and the
debt markets.

The secondary market enables participants who hold securities to adjust their holdings in
response to changes in their assessment of risk and return. They also sell securities for cash to
meet their liquidity needs. The secondary market has further two components, namely the over-
the-counter (OTC) market and the exchange-traded market. OTC is different from the market
place provided by the Over The Counter Exchange of India Limited. OTC markets are
essentially informal markets where trades are negotiated. Most of the trades in government
securities are in the OTC market. All the spot trades where securities are traded for immediate
delivery and payment take place in the OTC market. The exchanges do not provide facility for
spot trades in a strict sense. Closest to spot market is the cash market where settlement takes
place after some time. Trades taking place over a trading cycle, i.e. a day under rolling
settlement, are settled together after a certain time (currently 2 working days). Trades executed
on the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) are cleared and settled by a clearing
corporation which provides notation and settlement guarantee. Nearly 100% of the trades settled
by delivery are settled in demit form. NSE also provides a formal trading platform for trading of
a wide range of debt securities including government securities.

A variant of secondary market is the forward market, where securities are traded for future
delivery and payment. Pure forward is outside the formal market. The versions of forward in
formal market are futures and options. In futures market, standardised securities are traded for
future delivery and settlement. These futures can be on a basket of securities like an index or an
individual security. In case of options, securities are traded for conditional future delivery.
CAPITAL MARKET

There are two types of optionsa put option permits the owner to sell a security to the writer of
options at a predetermined price while a call option permits the owner to purchase a security
from the writer of the option at a predetermined price. These options can also be on individual
stocks or basket of stocks like index. Two exchanges, namely NSE and the Bombay Stock
Exchange, (BSE) provide trading of derivatives of securities.

The past few years in many ways have been remarkable for securities market in India. It has
grown exponentially as measured in terms of amount raised from the market, number of stock
exchanges and other intermediaries, the number of listed stocks, market capitalisation, trading
volumes and turnover on stock exchanges, and investor population. Along with this growth, the
profiles of the investors, issuers and intermediaries have changed significantly. The market has
witnessed fundamental institutional changes resulting in drastic reduction in transaction costs
and significant improvements in efficiency, transparency and safety.

Reforms in the securities market, particularly the establishment and empowerment of SEBI,
market determined allocation of resources, screen based nation-wide trading, dematerialisation
and electronic transfer of securities, rolling settlement and ban on deferral products, sophisticated
risk management and derivatives trading, have greatly improved the regulatory framework and
efficiency of trading and settlement. Indian market is now comparable to many developed
markets in terms of a number of qualitative parameters.

Trading on the secondary markets


An Electronic trading platform being used at the Deutsche Brse. Most capital market
transactions are executed electronically, sometimes a human operator is involved, and sometimes
unattended computer systems execute the transactions, as happens in algorithmic trading.
Most capital market transactions take place on the secondary market. On the primary market,
each security can be sold only once, and the process to create batches of new shares or bonds is
often lengthy due to regulatory requirements. On the secondary markets, there is no limit on the
number of times a security can be traded, and the process is usually very quick. With the rise of
strategies such as high frequency trading, a single security could in theory be traded thousands of
times within a single hour. Transactions on the secondary market don't directly help raise
finance, but they do make it easier for companies and governments to raise finance on the
primary market, as investors know if they want to get their money back in a hurry, they will
usually be easily able to re-sell their securities. Sometimes secondary capital market transactions
can have a negative effect on the primary borrowers - for example, if a large proportion of
investors try to sell their bonds, this can push up the yields for future issues from the same entity.
An extreme example occurred shortly after Bill Clinton began his first term as President of the
United States; Clinton was forced to abandon some of the spending increases he'd promised in
his election campaign due to pressure from the bond markets. In the 21st century, several
governments have tried to lock in as much as possible of their borrowing into long dated bonds,
so they are less vulnerable to pressure from the markets.
A variety of different players are active in the secondary markets. Regular individuals account
for a small proportion of trading, though their share has slightly increased; in the 20th century it
CAPITAL MARKET

was mostly only a few wealthy individuals who could afford an account with a broker, but
accounts are now much cheaper and accessible over the internet. There are now numerous small
traders who can buy and sell on the secondary markets using platforms provided by brokers
which are accessible with web browsers. When such an individual trades on the capital markets,
it will often involve a two stage transaction. First they place an order with their broker, then the
broker executes the trade. If the trade can be done on an exchange, the process will often be fully
automated. If a dealer needs to manually intervene, this will often mean a larger fee. Traders in
investment banks will often make deals on their bank's behalf, as well as executing trades for
their clients. Investment banks will often have a department called capital markets: staff in this
department try to keep aware of the various opportunities in both the primary and secondary
markets, and will advise major clients accordingly. Pension and sovereign wealth funds tend to
have the largest holdings, though they tend to buy only the highest grade (safest) types of bonds
and shares, and often don't trade all that frequently. According to a 2012 Financial Times article,
hedge funds are increasingly making most of the short term trades in large sections of the capital
market (like the UK and US stock exchanges), which is making it harder for them to maintain
their historically high returns, as they are increasingly finding themselves trading with each other
rather than with less sophisticated investors.
There are several ways to invest in the secondary market without directly buying shares or
bonds. A common method is to invest in funds or exchange-traded funds. It's also possible to buy
and sell derivatives that are based on the secondary market; one of the most common being
contract for difference - these can provide rapid profits, but can also cause buyers to lose more
money than they originally invested .

2.3: REASONS FOR LISTING
When a company lists its shares on a public exchange, it will almost invariably look to issue
additional new shares in order at the same time. The money paid by investors for the newly-
issued shares goes directly to the company (in contrast to a later trade of shares on the exchange,
where the money passes between investors). An IPO, therefore, allows a company to tap a wide
pool of stock market investors to provide it with large volumes of capital for future growth. The
company is never required to repay the capital, but instead the new shareholders have a right to
future profits distributed by the company and the right to a capital distribution in case of a
dissolution.
The existing shareholders will see their shareholdings diluted as a proportion of the company's
shares. However, they hope that the capital investment will make their shareholdings more
valuable in absolute terms.
In addition, once a company is listed, it will be able to issue further shares via a rights issue,
thereby again providing itself with capital for expansion without incurring any debt. This regular
ability to raise large amounts of capital from the general market, rather than having to seek and
negotiate with individual investors, is a key incentive for many companies seeking to list.

Heritage
BSE Ltd, the first ever stock exchange in Asia established in 1875 and the first in the country to
be granted permanent recognition under the Securities Contract Regulation Act, 1956, has had an
interesting rise to prominence over the past 137 years.

While BSE Ltd is now synonymous with Dalal Street, it was not always so. The first venue of
the earliest stock broker meetings in the 1850s was in rather natural environs - under banyan
trees - in front of the Town Hall, where Horniman Circle is now situated. A decade later, the
brokers moved their venue to another set of foliage, this time under banyan trees at the junction
of Meadows Street and what is now called Mahatma Gandhi Road. As the number of brokers
increased, they had to shift from place to place, but they always overflowed to the streets. At last,
in 1874, the brokers found a permanent place, and one that they could, quite literally, call their
own. The new place was, aptly, called Dalal Street (Brokers' Street).

The journey of BSE Ltd. is as eventful and interesting as the history of India's securities market.
In fact, as India's biggest bourse in terms of listed companies and market capitalization, almost
CAPITAL MARKET
16

every leading corporate in India has sourced BSE Ltd. services in raising capital and is listed
with BSC Ltd


Even in terms of an orderly growth, much before the actual legislations were enacted, BSE Ltd.
had formulated a comprehensive set of Rules and Regulations for the securities market. It had
also laid down best practices which were adopted subsequently by 23 stock exchanges which
were set up after India gained its independence.

BSE Ltd., as a institutional brand, has been and is synonymous with the capital market in India.
Its S&P BSE SENSEX is the benchmark equity index that reflects the health of the Indian
economy.

4.3: Capital controls
Capital controls are measures imposed by a state's government aimed at managing capital
account transactions - in other words, capital market transactions where one of the counter-
parties involved is in a foreign country. Whereas domestic regulatory authorities try to ensure
that capital market participants trade fairly with each other, and sometimes to ensure institutions
like banks don't take excessive risks, capital controls aim to ensure that the macroeconomic
effects of the capital markets don't have a net negative impact on the nation in question. Most
advanced nations like to use capital controls sparingly if at all, as in theory allowing markets
freedom is a win-win situation for all involved: investors are free to seek maximum returns, and
countries can benefit from investments that will develop their industry and infrastructure.
However sometimes capital market transactions can have a net negative effect - for example, in a
financial crisis, there can be a mass withdrawal of capital, leaving a nation without sufficient
foreign currency to pay for needed imports. On the other hand, if too much capital is flowing into
a country, it can push up inflation and the value of the nation's currency, making its exports
uncompetitive. Some nations such as India have also used capital controls to ensure that their
citizen's money is invested at home, rather than abroad.

4.4 : Derivatives

Derivative is a product whose value is derived from the value of one or more basic variables,
called underlying. The underlying asset can be equity, index, foreign exchange (forex),
commodity or any other asset.
Basically, in derivative market we can buy whole lot of shares
Common example of derivative in which FAR SIGHT deals in Futures and Options
Example of a simple derivative contract:
Mr X buys a futures contract. He will make a profit of Rs1000 if the price of Infosys rises by Rs
1000.If the price is unchanged Ram will receive nothing. If the stock price of Infosys falls by Rs
800 he will lose Rs800.As we can see, the above contract depends upon the price of the Infosys
CAPITAL MARKET
22

scrip, which is the underlying security. Similarly, a futures trading have already started in Sensex
futures and Nifty futures. The underlying security in this case is the BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty.
What is an Index?
To understand the use and functioning of the index derivatives markets, it is necessary to
understand the underlying index. A stock index represents the change in value of a set of stocks,
which constitute the index. A market indexes very important for the market players as it acts as a
barometer for the market behavior and as an underlying in derivative instruments such as index
futures.
Index futures
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a certain time in
the future at a certain price. Index futures are all futures contract where the underlying is the
stock index (Nifty or Sensex) and helps a trader to take a view on the market as a whole.
Index futures permits speculation and if a trader anticipates a major rally in the market he can
simply buy a futures contract and a hope for a price rise on the futures contract when the rally
occurs. We shall learn in subsequent lessons how one ca leverage ones position by taking
position in the futures market.
In India we have index futures contracts based on S and P CNX Nifty and The BSE Sensex and
near 3 months duration contracts are available at all times. Each contract expires on the last
Thursday of the expiry month and simultaneously a new contract is introduced for trading after
expiry of a contract.
What are options?
Some people remain puzzled by options. The truth is that most people have been using options
for some time because options are built into everything from mortgages to insurance.

An option is a contract which gives the buyer the right but not the obligation to buy or sell shares
of the underlying security at a specific price on or before a specific date.
CAPITAL MARKET
23

Option, as the word suggests, is a choice given to the investor to either honor the contract or if
he chooses not to walk away from the contract. To begin there are two kinds of options Call
Options and Put Options.
Call Option:
A Call Option is an option to buy a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In this
way, Call options are like security deposits. If for example, you wanted to rent a certain property
and left a security deposit for it, the money would be used to insure that you could, in fact rent
that property at the price agreed upon when you returned. If you never returned , you increase in
value as the value on the underlying instrument rises.
When you buy a Call option, the price you pay for it, called the option premium secures your
right to but that certain stock at a specified price called the strike price. If you decide not to use
the option to buy the stock, and you are not obligated to, your only cost is the option premium.
Put Option:
Put options are options to sell a stock at a specific price on or before a certain date. In this way,
Put option are like insurance policies.

Some exchanges are physical locations where transactions are carried out on a trading floor; by a
method known as open outcry. This type of auction is used in stock exchanges and commodity
exchanges where traders may enter verbal bids and offers simultaneously. The other type of
exchange is a virtual kind, composed of a network of computers where trades are made
electronically via traders at computer terminals.
Actual traders are based on an auction market paradigm where a potential buyer bids a specific
price for stock and a potential seller asks a specific price for the stock.(Buying
or selling at market means you will accept any bid price or ask price for the stock.)
The term stock market is a concept for the mechanism that enables the trading of company stocks
(collective shares),Other securities ,and derivatives. Bonds are still traditionally traded in an
informal, over the counter market known as bond market .Commodities are traded in
commodities markets, and derivatives are traded in a variety of markets(but, like bonds, mostly
over the counter)

IPO (Initial Public Offering)
An Initial Public Offer (IPO) is the selling of securities to the public in the primary market. It is
when an unlisted company makes either a fresh issue of securities or an offer for sale of its
existing securities or both for the first time to the public. This paves way for listing and trading
of the issuers securities. The sale of securities can be either through book building or through
normal public issue.

Procedure for issuing an IPO:

When a company wants to go public, the first thing it does is hire an investment bank, which
does the underwriting. Underwriting is the process of raising money by either debt or equity (in
this case we are referring to equity). You can think of underwriters as middlemen between
companies and the investing public. The biggest underwriters are Goldman Sachs, Merrill
Lynch, Credit Suisse First Boston and Morgan Stanley. The company and the investment bank
will first meet to negotiate the deal. Items usually discussed include the amount of money a
CAPITAL MARKET
26

company will raise, the type of securities to be issued and all the details in the underwriting
agreement. The deal can be structured in a variety of ways. For example, in a firm commitment,
the underwriter guarantees that a certain amount will be raised by buying the entire offer and
then reselling to the public. In a best efforts agreement, however, the underwriter sells securities
for the company but doesn't guarantee the amount raised. Also, investment banks are hesitant to
shoulder all the risk of an offering. Instead, they form a syndicate of underwriters. One
underwriter leads the syndicate and the others sell a part of the issue. Once all sides agree to a
deal, the investment bank puts together an offer document to be filed with the SEBI. This
document contains information about the offering as well as company info such as financial
statements, management background, any legal problems, where the money is to be used and
insider holdings. The SEBI then requires a cooling off period, in which they investigate and
make sure all material information has been disclosed. Once the SEBI approves the offering, a
date (the effective date) is set when the stock will be offered to the public.

Chapter 5: INTRADAY TRADING &INVESTMENT
ALTERNATIVES / AVENUES
5.1: Intraday Trading
Intraday trading refers to opening and closing a position in a security in the same trading day.
This can be buying and selling to capitalize on a potential rise in a security's value or shorting
and covering the short to capitalize on a potential drop in value. Intraday traders capitalize on
small moves in the value of a security by using "leverage" or "margin", which basically means
borrowing money. Most day trading accounts are allowed to take an initial position in a security
that is 4X the value of their account (per securities regulations), but some professional accounts
get more leverage (i.e. 10X). For instance, a day trader with $10,000 in his/her account can take
a $40,000 position in a security for day trading purposes. This amount is not allowed to be held
overnight (only about 2X the value of the account can be held overnight per securities regs). The
leverage inherent in day trading allows small gains in a position to yield meaningful profits (and
losses). Most day traders are very strict about cutting losses with "stop loss" orders. This limits
the potential downside (but not the upside) on any particular trade, hence the adage "cut your
losses short and let your profits run". With this basic strategy, a day trader can be wrong on 50%
of his/her trades and still make good money. Day trading styles vary from "scalpers", who take
positions for only a few minutes, to holding a position for most of the day. Some day traders are
momentum followers and jump onto any given move, while others try to identify intraday
reversals. Virtually all day traders use technical analysis (stock charting) heavily in their decision
making.

Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same
trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the
market close of the trading day. This is the opposite of After-hours trading. Traders that
participate in day trading are called day traders.
CAPITAL MARKET
28

Some of the more commonly day-traded financial instruments are stocks, stock options,
currencies, and a host of futures contracts such as equity index futures, interest rate futures, and
commodity futures.

Day trading used to be the preserve of financial firms and professional investors and speculators.
Many day traders are bank or investment firm employees working as specialists in equity
investment and fund management. However, day trading has become increasingly popular
among casual traders due to advances in technology, changes in legislation, and the popularity of
the Internet. Although collectively called day trading, there are many sub-trading styles within
day trading. A day trader is not necessarily very active. Depending on one's trading strategy, the
number of trades made in a day may vary from one to dozens or more.

Some day traders focus on very short or short-term trading, in which a trade may last seconds to
a few minutes. They buy and sell many times in a day, trading very high volumes daily and
therefore receiving big discounts from brokerage. Some day traders focus only on momentum or
trends. They are more patient and wait for a ride on the strong move which may occur on that
day. They make far fewer trades than the aforementioned traders.

Many day traders sell their positions before the market close of the trading day to avoid the risk
of price gaps (differences between the previous day's close and the next day's open price) at the
open. Some day traders consider this to be a golden rule to be obeyed at all times. Other traders
believe they should let the profits run, so it is acceptable to stay with a position after the market
closes.
Day traders often borrow money to trade. Since margin interests are typically only charged on
overnight balances, the extra costs discourage them from holding positions overnight.
Because of the nature of financial leverage and the rapid returns that are possible, day trading
can be either extremely profitable or extremely unprofitable, and high-risk profile traders can
generate either huge percentage returns or huge percentage losses. Some day traders manage to
earn millions per day solely by day trading.
CAPITAL MARKET
29

Because of the high profits (and losses) that day trading makes possible, these traders are
sometimes portrayed as "bandits" or "gamblers" by other investors. Some individuals, however,
make consistent living day trading.
Nevertheless day trading can become very risky, especially if one has poor discipline, risk or
money management. The common use of buying on margin (using borrowed funds) amplifies
gains and losses, such that substantial losses or gains can occur in a very short period of time. In
addition, brokers usually allow bigger margins for day traders. Where overnight margins
required to hold a stock position are normally 50% of the stock's value, many brokers allow
pattern day trader accounts to use levels as low as 25% for intraday purchases. This means a day
trader with the legal minimum $25,000 in his account can buy $100,000 worth of stock during
the day, as long as half of those positions are exited before the market close. Because of the high
risk of margin use, and of other day trading practices, a day trader will often have to exit a losing
position very quickly, in order to prevent a greater, unacceptable loss, or even a disastrous loss,
much larger than his original investment, or even larger than his total assets.

Even when a position has made a profit, the trader has to offset the transaction costs and the
interest on the margin. It is commonly stated that 80-90% of day traders lose money. An analysis
of the Taiwanese stock market suggests that "less than 20% of day traders earn profits net of
transaction costs".

Upper circuit
Its also called buyers circuit. This happens when theres very few people (or no one) wants to
sell or no sellers are there in the market.
Lower circuit
Its also called Sellers Circuit .This happens when there are very few people (or no one) wants
to buy. An upper circuit is the percentage price beyond a which a stock price is not allowed to go
on that particular day say for example a stock has upper circuit as 5%, in a given day it cannot
go beyond that price after open value the price can go up to only 5% not beyond it.
CAPITAL MARKET

Upper circuit is a system to curb excessive speculation in the stock market, applied by the stock
exchange authorities, when the index spurts or plunges by more than a fixed limit. Trading is
then suspended for some time to let the market cool down.
The market wide circuit breakers would be triggered by movement of either Sensex or NSE S&P
CNX Nifty whichever is breached earlier.
In case of a 10% movement of either of these indices, there would be a 1 hour market halt in
the movement takes place before 1 p.m. In case the movement takes place at or after 1 p.m. but
before 2.30 p.m. there will be a trading halt for 1 hour. In case the movement takes place at or
after 2.30pm there will be no trading halt at the 10% level and the market will continue trading.

In case of 15 % movement of either index, there will be 2 hours market halt if the movement
takes place before 1 pm. If the 15% percent trigger has reached on or after 1pm but before 2pm,
there will be 1 hour halt. If the 15% trigger has reached on or after 2pm the trading will halt for
the remaining day.

In case of 20% movement of the index, the trading will, be halted for the remaining day.
Although introduced in November 1992, it was used fir the first in Bombay Stock Exchange on
Tuesday, 9 March 1993 when the SENSEX declined for more than 5% from the opening level,
i.e. from 2451.20 to 2318.26. at that time the circuit was 5%.

What is Stop Loss?
A stop loss (i.e. a stop loss order) is used to limit the possible loss when a traders position go the
wrong way and start to lose money. A stop loss is basically a stock trading strategy to limit your
disadvantage. Trader is not always right, so only good stop loss strategy can protect you.
CAPITAL MARKET
31

Yes stop loss orders are available in almost all types of trading. In Indian stock markets, only
limit orders are allowed.
A limit order is something like this:
Trigger price: 99
Sell price: 98
Quantity: 100
This means that if trade is recorded at 99 or lowers than 99, then an order is given at the
exchange to sell at 98.
A trade at Rs.99 will trigger the stop loss
In some international markets, market orders are also allowed stop loss orders... which means if
the trigger price is reached than a market order is generated.
A market stop loss order is something like this:
Trigger price: 99
Sell: at market
Quantity: 100
If a trade is recorded at 99 or lowers than 99, then a sell order is generated at market price... that
is 100 shares will be sold at whatever best price buyers are offering. Such orders can be
sometimes dangerous, because one doesnt know what this best price may be.
If the LTP (last traded price) was 99 and you give a sell order of 100 shares at the market
rate...these shares would be sold to best price offered.
If there are no buyers at price higher than 90... Then your shares will be sold at 90... As 90 are
the best price that youre getting.
CAPITAL MARKET
32

If there are no buyers at price higher than 85... Then your shares will get sold at 85... As 85 are
the best price that youre getting. You may want any price but a market order means shares will
go at price that the market is offering.
What does equity represents?
1. Stock or any other representing an ownership interest.
2. On the BALANCE SHEET, the amount of funds contributed by the owners (the stockholders)
plus the retained earnings (or loss).Also referred to as shareholders equity
3. In the context of Margin Trading, the value of securities in a margin account minus what has
been borrowed from brokerage.
4. In the context of real estate, the difference between the current market value of the property
and the amount the owner stills owes on the mortgage. Thus, it is the amount, if any; the owner
would receive after selling a property and paying off the mortgage.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

CAPITAL MARKET
35

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fundamental analysis is one of the important approaches to security analysis. When an Investor
want to make an investment decision he makes detailed analysis of the securities issued by the
companies in the market. In doing this he either rely on fundamentals of the company or on the
past price movements. Sometimes an investor considers both price trend and fundamentals of the
company.
Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health, its
management and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets. When applied to
futures and forex, it focuses on the overall state of the economy, interest rates, production,
earnings, and management. When analyzing a stock, futures contract, or currency using
fundamental analysis
When the objective of the analysis is to determine what stock to buy and at what price, there are
two basic methodologies
Fundamental analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security in the short run but that the
"correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made by trading the mispriced security
and then waiting for the market to recognize its "mistake" and reprice the security.
Investors can use any or all of these different but somewhat complementary methods for stock
picking. For example many fundamental investors use technical for deciding entry and exit
points. Many technical investors use fundamentals to limit their universe of possible stock to
'good' companies.
The choice of stock analysis is determined by the investor's belief in the different paradigms for
"how the stock market works". See the discussions at efficient-market hypothesis, random walk
hypothesis, Capital Asset Pricing Model, Fed model Theory of Equity Valuation, Market-based
valuation, and Behavioural finance.

Chapter 7: FINDINGS
In order to increase the sales figures, the company has somewhere ignored the service
delivery and left the customer on his own.
Although majority of customers of the entire firms feel that brokerage charged is neither
high nor low, customers of Far Sight Securities Pvt. Ltd are highly satisfied. On the other
hand, customers of ICICI are most dissatisfied. And about 45% of customers of
indiabulls consider it to be NHNL, and another 30% rate it as good, while 25% feel that it
is not quite low
Customers feedback regarding the Research Tips parameter shows that the competition
is primarily between three firms- Indiabulls, icici and Indiainfoline.
Approx. 19% respondents have de-mat & trading account because min. annual
maintenance and other charges
On the basis of call and trade facility, there is again not much differences. Comparison
among ICICI and indiabulls shows that icici has less no. of customers who rated it low as
compared to indiabulls and also higher no. of customers rate it good, but indiabulls has
the edge over the rest when it comes to customers who rate it very high.
Majority of clients of indiabulls feels that the exposure provided by them is neither high
nor low, while some believe it is enough. But in ICICI it is contrary. Far Sight Securities
Pvt. Ltd gets positive response from majority of clients
As per charges, comparison among the firms clearly points out that there is not much
difference among the firms. First is Far Sight Securities Pvt. Ltd, followed by indiabulls.
Though Far Sight Securities Pvt. Ltd is working very hard in order to meet the
competition but there is a gap between the expectations and the experiences of the
customers which is widening regularly. This gap has emerged because of the sales
oriented focus of reliance money.

DISCUSSION ON TRAINING

We worked with FarSight Securities Pvt. Ltd. with a profile of Study of Demat and Equity. This
profile offers me to understand the need of customer and provide them the best deal possible
with maximization of the profit, both for the company as well as for the customer.
The most important aspect for the role of trainee is trust. So far fulfilment of the targets that is
bringing the maximum accounts along with min Rs.5000 as margin amount one needs to:
Generating new leads through various activities.

Generation of leads
Since we were new in the field so we had to start from scratch and generate new leads to sustain
in the market. Calling the people is one of the trusted ways of getting to the customers without
meeting them. Although the rate of conversion remained very less, for calling the understanding
the need remains a very important criterion. This activity gives me mixed result. I often got
success and generated many leads through it but it also landed me in awkward position where the
customer were in different mood and made us hear words for which a marketer should be always
prepared to hear. Corporate calls always remained more difficult to crack with respect to retail
sector.
The corporate were the most difficult and most temping to get the business from. It took us one
day to crack Hi-tech Gears.
At FarSight Securities Pvt. Ltd. after getting the product knowledge in the first week at the head
office we was also allotted distributor to work with. We were allotted with a manager whom we
have to report daily. I became known to the market and procedure we started calling more
confidently.

the system is made transparent for the customer as well as
for the employees.
