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.

Online Trading

The trading network in NSE has main computer, which is connected

through Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) installed at its office. The main
computer runs on a fault tolerant STRATUS mainframe computer at the exchange.
Brokers have terminals installed at their premises, which are connected through
VSETs/leased lines/modems.
An investor informs a broker to place an order on his behalf. The broker enters
the order through his PC, which runs under Windows NT and sends signal to the
Satellite via VSAT/leased line/modem.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

19

Online Trading

This stock exchange, Mumbai, popularly known as BSE was established in

1857 as The Native share and stock brokers association as a voluntary nonprofit making association. It has an evolved over the years into its present status
as the premier stock exchange in the country. It may be not that the stock
exchanges the oldest one in Asia, even than the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which
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.

20

Online Trading
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.
The Ban on all deferral products like BLESS AND ALBM in the Indian
Capita Markets by SEBI with effect from 2001, abolition account period
settlements and introduction of compulsory ruling settlements in all scripts
traded on the exchanges with effect from December 31, 2001 etc, have adversely
impacted the liquidity and consequently there is a considerable decline in the
daily turnover at the exchange. The average daily turnover of the exchange
present scenario is 110363 (lakhs) and number of average daily trade 1057
(lakhs).

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
21

Online Trading
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
in the Indian Stock Markets. Base year average is changed as per the formula new
base year average = old base year average*(new market value/ old market value).

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
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
31

Online Trading
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
elses 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
Transit Key option from the File Menu.
In case you do not wish to avail of this security feature then you will have to
notify us of the same in writing. Once you have successfully opted out of this feature
you will be able to login from any PC. Only the login credentials will be checked at
the time of each login. We strongly discourage you from opting out of the security

feature.
Also to minimize the chances of anyone else hijacking your identity before you
receive it i.e. registering your ID before you have the chance to register it, login from
one PC is restricted to one ID only. This means that if you have a group of IDs
typically belonging to the same family and all of these IDs will require to login from
the same PC then you again will have to notify us in writing of the same. Please note
that in such cases if you have opted for the security feature then Transit Key will have
to be generated for each ID separately.

Changing Password :Your password is valid only for 14 days, after which you have to compulsorily
change your password. The new password should not be one that was used in the
previous two changes. In other words you cannot recycle a password for next two

next 24 hours.
To change your password, simply click on the Change Password button on
the login page. Before attempting to change your password please ensure that you
enter your Login ID and Password correctly. Password changes can be done only from
1 computer i.e the computer that was used at the time of registration. You cannot
change you password from any PC even if you have opted out of the security feature
described above.
Rules for Password :1. Password cannot be same as login ID
2. Password has to be at least 8 characters and maximum of 10 characters

Security :Apart from the above mentioned security feature we have added a few other
safeguards. On successful login, you will see in messages window, a message
confirming your successful login and other messages confirming the super safe 128
bit-encrypted connection to our server.
You will also see a message showing when and where you logged in from the
last time. If you find anything amiss, immediately change your password.
You are now ready to trade @ the speed of thought.
Initial Screen :If this is the first login, your workspace will be filled with a default layout. The
default layout loads a Market Watch window for your containing 50 scripts belonging
to S&P CNX NIFTY.
On subsequent logins TT Advanced remembers the state prior to your
exiting the application and restores the same. Your workspace will be loaded with all
the forms that were open the last time you exited the application and each of the forms
will contain the same logical data that existed when you exited the application. E.g.
Market Watch will have the same scrips loaded as you last left them. The data
however will be updated to reflect the latest data received from the server.

touched their 52 week High or 52 week low. You can also analyse all quotes and
extract those where quantity traded exceeds a given figure or transaction value
exceeds a given value. This helps you identify large trades and can give you vital
clues to where or in which scrip activity is currently happening.

invoked from anywhere in the application. Hot key for Buy is F1 and for Sell is F2.
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
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.

Situations :40

1) You pressed F1 or F2 Cash OE window is opened with prefilled information
ii. You pressed CTRL + F1 or CTRL + F2 Derivatives OE window is opened blank
(without any of the text boxes pre-filled)
b) Scrip belongs to Derivatives segment :
i. You pressed F1 or F2 Derivatives OE window is opened with prefilled
information
ii. You pressed CTRL + F1 or CTRL + F2 Derivatives OE window is opened with
prefilled information

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

Types of orders ;1. Limit Orders are orders where you specify the price while entering the order into

41

Online Trading
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
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

42

Online Trading
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.

add them at one go to the Market Watch window. Eg you could have your portfolio
saved a group and have the application retrieve it to the Market Watch window on
every login. You can create more than one portfolio and save each of them to a group.
The application comes with several pre-defined Groups. These are typically the
Index scrips as defined by the Exchange. Eg to get the scrips that make up Nifty 50,

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.
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

ONLINE TRADING ADVANTAGES : Trading online has revolutionized the stock markets.
The main benefit of trading online is speed.
There is no need dial up your broker, wait to speak somebody, and have him
or her enter the order on their computer.
As you can imagine, the convenience of online trading attracts many
investors.
You can enter trade orders day or night, from any where in cyberspace.
The internet is full of advice, free technical analysis tools and commentary.
You can formulate your own strategy and run investments yourself.
Most online brokerages will take online orders for a commission of about $5
to $40 US.

ONLINE TRADING DISADVANTAGES : If you are going to trade online you are obviously the one making all
trading choices.
To make your trading decisions, you need to research your stocks and
constantly pay attention to market news. This will require sometime as you
pursue your sources of market information and use online tools.

52

Online Trading

BROKERS ADVANTAGES :1) Despite the popularity of online trading , not everybody uses the internet
to trade stocks.
2) A broker can do everything from making all your stock trading decision
for, to give you little advice on what to buy or sell.
3) if you want some investing help, or if you want somebody else to deal
with everything, using a broker might be right for you.
4) Brokers are stock professionals, they watch the market and deal with
customers like you everyday.
5) Brokers keep in touch with a network of other professional, so news and
knowledge constantly come their way.
6) Finally, your broker may offer services other than just trading stocks. If
you want you can find a broker that will manage your taxes, estate and
business.
7) The personal attention available from broker who knows your full
financial situation is very calculable.

BROKERS DISADVANTAGES :1) Taking a percentage of your assets under management, making stock traders
taking a flat fee.
53

Online Trading
2) However I must stress that the brokerage industry is highly regulated and
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.
4) If your broker gets a paid commission for trading, keep in mind that there
may be a conflict of interest.
5) Make sure your broker can consistently justify and all stock trades.

NSDL

Online Trading

NATIONAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY LIMITED:

NSDL was inaugurated in 1996, as the first depository in the country to avoid the
myriad problems in settlements.
In depository system, securities are held in securities (depository) accounts, which is
more or less similar to holding funds in bank account. Transfer of ownership is done
through simple account transfer.
Trading in dematerialized securities in quite similar to trading in physical securities.
Exclusive Demat segment follows rolling settlement (T+2) cycle and unified segment
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. This
certification is conducted using NCFM infrastructure created by NSE and is called
"NSDL - Depository Operations Module". The programme is aimed at certifying
whether an individual has adequate knowledge of depository operations, to be able
to service investors. Depository Participants are required to appoint at least one
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
certification programme.
This handbook has been divided into four volumes for readers' convenience. The

61

Online Trading
first volume gives an overview of the Indian capital market and NSDL depository
system. The second volume deals with admission procedure for different business
partners of NSDL, their obligations, practices, systems and procedures to be followed
by them and benefits and safety of depository system. The third volume helps in
acquiring a working level understanding of certain basic services offered by NSDL
like account opening, dematerialisation, and transfer of securities and related
operations. The last volume deals with special services offered by NSDL like Pledge,
Stock Lending and Borrowings, Corporate Actions, National Savings Certificates /
Kisan Vikas Patra (NSC/KVP) in demat form, Warehouse Receipts, Market
Participants and Investor Database (MAPIN) and Tax Information Network (TIN).
The procedures explained in the handbook are based on the Depositories Act,
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Depositories & Participants) Regulations and
Byelaws & Business Rules of NSDL. The book contains illustrations, flow charts and
checklists for better understanding of various concepts and procedures.
A sample test paper is given at the end of the fourth volume to help the candidates
appearing for NCFM test form an assessment of their preparedness. A thorough
understanding of this handbook will form a good base for qualifying the certification
test.
Readers may like to visit NSDL website www.nsdl.co.in for updates and to know the
new procedures introduced or changes brought about in the existing procedures.
A feedback form is given at the end of the fourth volume. Readers may give their
feedback,which will be of great help in enhancing the value of this Handbook in its
subsequent editions.
The Indian Capital Market :The function of the financial market is to facilitate the transfer of funds from
62

Online Trading
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
short-term and long-term finance and even between the purposes of finance. The
63

Online Trading
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.

What is an auction?
67

Online Trading
The exchange can initiate an auction in case the selling trading member is unable
to deliver the shares, for various reasons such as short delivery, bad delivery and
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
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

Note:
Internal shortage: in internal shortage the broker repurchases securities from the
exchange at market rate and the shares are transferred to the client's account. This
cycle is completed in T+3 days.
Exchange shortage: here there is a shortage in the exchange for which the client gets
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.
