INTRODUCTION
STOCK MARKET
Meaning The market for long-term securities like bonds, equity stocks and preferred stocks is divided into primary market and secondary market. The primary market deals with the new issue of securities. Outstanding securities are traded in the secondary market, which is commonly known as stock market or stock exchange. History of Stock Exchanges in India The origin of the stock exchanges in India can be traced back to the later of 19th century. After the American civil war (1860-61) due to the share mania of the public, the number of brokers dealing in shares increased. The brokers organized an informal association in Mumbai named the native stock and share brokers associations in 1875. Increased activity in trade and commerce during the First World War and Second World War resulted in an increase in the stock trading. Most of the stock exchanges in the early stages had a speculative nature of working without technical strength. Securities and contract regulation act, 1956 gave power to the central government to regulate the stock exchanges. At present We have 23 stock exchanges and 21 of them had hardware and software complaint to solve Y2K problem.
Till recent past, floor trading took place in all the stock exchanges. The floor trading system, the trade takes place through open outcry system during the official trading hours. This system needs a face to face among the traders and restricts the trading volume. The setting of the NSE and OTCEI with the screen based trading facility resulted in more and more stock exchanges turning towards the
Computer based trading. Bombay stock exchange introduced the screen based trading system in 1995, which is known as BOLT (Bombay online trading system). Secondary market is the place where millions of people come together and buying. The ownership of the company is on the expectation of making more money from its sales. Returns from investments in shares come in two forms- capital appreciation and dividends. Capital appreciation takes place when there is a increase in price of shares and dividend get from the companies part of profit. In secondary market negotiation & bargaining of shares of the company between the sellers and buyers is happen. As compare to other industry exchange process secondary Market rules are totally different. Because of the one reason, in the secondary market all transactions are happened on the basic of making more money but in the case of other
industries exchange is happen mainly due to satisfaction of wants and needs . ORIGIN OF SHARES The first kind of share transaction is happened in Holland .More than ten thousand ships go to export that time. it s a lucrative business for the ship owners, but some risks including in that. Return of ship is not predictable, because of the falling tide& flood tide. The ship cant reach the correct time, the ship containing Perishable products is become useless, its also gave the burden to ship owners. For solving this type of risk, the 18 ship owners find a solution, nothing but issuing different part of capital to public. This method is speedily accepted by the public. Also participation of brokers active there. If the navigator of the ship is good and efficient the share value of the ship will increase if the news will spread like the ship will comes like gold or platinum it has more demand. Here also happened in the born of rumors.

Approach a depository participant (DP). Fill up the Account Opening Booklet. If your shares are held in joint names, be sure to open your account in the same order of names. If A, B and C jointly hold 100 shares in the company and have three share certificates all named as ABC, one DP (depository participant) account will suffice. For different combinations of names, open separate accounts for each combination. If the three certificates are held as ABC, BAC and CBA, three accounts are required. There is no limit to the number of accounts you can open. There is no limit to the number of DP (depository participant) you want to have accounts with.

You will receive an account number and a DP (depository participant) ID number with each account. Quote both these in all future correspondence with your DP.
After opening the account, you can hold shares of any number of companies in your account, provided all such companies have entered the depository system.
Dematerialization At your request we arrange to convert your physical holdings into electronic form. To do this you would require opening an account with NSDL through us called "Beneficiary Account" in the name and style in which the shares are held and lodge the share certificates with us accompanied by a dematerialization request form, separate for each scrip. You are required to only make sure that NSDL has admitted that scrip for Dematerialization. An up to date list will be provided to you who will be constantly updated. You have the option to convert your electronic shares back to physical shares. Transfer of shares and settlements. Transfer and settlements have never been easy as it is under the Depository system. Al l that is required is an instruction slip from you. If you are selling securities then it has to be a delivery instruction slip. If you are purchasing securities it has to be a receipt instruction slip or standing instructions for credit.
17
Pledge-Hypothecation. We provide facilities to pledge / hypothecate dematerialized stocks held in client accounts for the purpose of raising a loan. This process is also much faster than in the case of physical shares. Freezing/ Locking Of Accounts. You can also keep your accounts frozen /locked for the span of time desired by you. No debits from your account will be made during this period. Nomination. The nomination form duly filled-in should be submitted to the DP either at the time of account opening or later. The account holder, nominee and two witnesses must sign this form and the name, address and photograph of the nominee must be submitted.

Transmission is the process by which securities of a deceased account holder are transferred to the account of the surviving joint holder(s)/nominee/legal heirs of the deceased account holder. Process of transmission in case of dematerialized holdings is more convenient as the transmission formalities for all securities held in a demat account can be completed by submitting documents to the DP whereas in case of physical securities the surviving joint

Marginal Trading
Day traders quickly buy and sell stocks continually throughout the day in the hopes that their stocks will continue climbing or falling in value for the seconds to minutes they own the stock, letting them lock in quick profits. Day trading can be quite lucrative. However, by nature, it is one of the more risky and challenging forms of trading and investing. If you are determined and are willing to potentially spend many months or even years learning the ropes, don't let anything discourage you from becoming a successful day trader! There are many reputable companies on the Internet who offer day trading opportunities to the investor. 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. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders. 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 margin 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. 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 a consistent living day trading.
23
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 (It depends on the brokers strategy and the risk management system they are following). This means a day trader with the legal minimum Rs.25,000 in his account can buy Rs.1,00,000 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 stock market suggests that "less than 20% of day traders earn profits net of transaction costs". Exposure limits in Standard Charted-STCI Capital Market securities ltd UTI securities ltd. is offering an exposure limit of 1:4 for margin traders, i.e. for every 1000 Rs. One can buy the share worth of 4000 Rs.
Brokerage charges:
Different Company has different brokerage charges. Standard ChartedSTCI Capital Market securities ltd. takes 0.05% as brokerage for every transaction.
24
Techniques:
The following are several basic strategies by which day traders attempt to make profits. Besides these, some day traders also use contrarian (reverse) strategies (more commonly seen in algorithmic trading) to trade specifically against irrational behavior from day traders using these approaches. Some of these approaches require shorting stocks instead of buying them normally: the trader borrows stock from his broker and sells the borrowed stock, hoping that the price will fall and he will be able to purchase the shares at a lower price. There are several technical problems with short sales - the broker may not have shares to lend in a specific issue, some short sales can only be made if the stock price or bid has just risen (known as an "up tick"), and the broker can call for the return of its shares at any time. Some of these restrictions (in particular the uptick rule) don't apply to trades of stocks that are actually shares of an exchangetraded fund. Playing news is primarily the realm of the day trader. The basic strategy is to buy a stock which has just announced good news, or short sell on bad news. Such events Provide enormous volatility in a stock and therefore the greatest chance for quick profits (or losses). Determining whether news is "good" or "bad" must be determined by the price action of the stock, because the market reaction may not match the tone of the news itself. The most common cause for this is when rumors or estimates of the event (like those issued by market and industry analysts) were already circulated before the official release, and prices have already moved in anticipation. The news is said to be already in the stock price.
25
Order types
Market Order - is an order to buy or sell a stock at the best bid or ask. A market order will get exercised for you, and fast, but you may not like the price! Of course, by then you have no choice but to take the price and hope your day Trade goes in the right direction. If the market is moving fast and you simply have to get in, sometimes a market order is your only choice. The floor traders love market orders from 'the paper' (For example off-pit traders) because this is how they make the majority of their money. Try to use market orders as little as possible. With a day trading spread betting account, market or desire as dangerous as on a standard brokerage account.
26
Limit Order - is an order to buy or sell a stock at a certain price or better. This is the day trading order of choice for day traders as well as other traders. If you are afraid your day trading order might not get filled and are tempted to use a market order instead, Remember this rule: "Never chase the market".. It is more important that you get the trade on at the right price, than that you get on at all. If you buy it too expensive, or sell it too cheap, chances are you will regret it right away.
Stop Order -is an order that becomes a market order when a specified price (the stop price) is reached, used mostly to protect a day trading position from incurring larger than acceptable losses should the day trade start to go the wrong way. A "buy stop" order is placed above the current price and a "sell stop" order is placed below the current price. Until you are an experienced day trader, you should never open a position without also

Tips to online Investors. The price of some stocks, especially recent "hot" IPOs and high tech stocks can soar and drop suddenly. In these fast markets when many investors want to trade at the same time and prices change quickly, delays can develop across the board. Executions and confirmations slow down, while reports of prices lag behind actual prices. In these markets, investors can suffer unexpected losses very quickly. Investors trading over the Internet or online, who are used to instant access to their accounts and near instantaneous executions of their trades, especially need to understand how they can protect themselves in fast-moving markets.
30
You can limit your losses in fast-moving markets if you, Know what you are buying and the risks of your investment; Know how trading changes during fast markets and take additional steps to guard against the typical problems investors face in these markets. Online trading is quick and easy, online investing takes time. With a click of mouse, you can buy and sell stocks from more than 100 online brokers offering executions as low as $5 per transaction. Although online trading saves investors time and money, it does not take the homework out of making investment decisions. You may be able to make a trade in a nanosecond, but making wise investment decisions takes time. Before you trade, know why you are buying or selling, and the risk of your investment. Set your price limits on fast-moving stocks: market orders vs. limit orders. To avoid buying or selling a stock at a price higher or lower than you wanted, you need to place a limit order rather than a market order. A limit order is an Order to buy or sell a security at a specific price. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. When you place a market order, you can't control the price at which your order will be filled. For example, if you want to buy the stock of a "hot" IPO that was initially offered at Rs.100, but don't want to end up paying more than Rs.250 for the stock, you can place a limit order to buy the stock at any price up to Rs.250. By entering a limit order rather than a market order, you will not be caught buying the stock at Rs500 and then suffering immediate losses as the stock drops later in the day or the weeks ahead.
31
Remember that your limit order may never be executed because the market price may quickly surpass your limit before your order can be filled. But by using a limit order you also protect yourself from buying the stock at too high a price. Online trading is not always instantaneous. Investors may find that technological "choke points" can slow or prevent their orders from reaching an online firm. For example, problems can occur where: an investor's modem, computer, or Internet Service Provider is slow or faulty; a broker-dealer has inadequate hardware or its Internet Service Provider is slow or delayed; or Traffic on the Internet is heavy, slowing down overall usage. A capacity problem or limitation at any of these choke points can cause a delay or failure in an investor's attempt to access an online firm's automated trading system. Know your options for placing a trade if you are unable to access your account online. Most online trading firms offer alternatives for placing trades. These alternatives may include touch-tone telephone trades, faxing your order, or doing it the low-tech way--talking to a broker over the phone. Make sure you know whether using these different options may increase your costs. And remember, if you experience delays getting online, you may experience similar delays when you turn to one of these alternatives. If you place an order, don't assume it didn't go through. Some investors have mistakenly assumed that their orders have not been executed and place another order. They end up either owning twice as much stock as they could afford or wanted, or with sell orders, selling stock they do not

own. Talk with your firm about how you should handle a situation where you are unsure if your original order was executed. If you cancel an order, make sure the cancellation worked before placing another trade. When you cancel an online trade, it is important to make sure that your original transaction was not executed. Although you may receive an electronic receipt for the Cancellation, don't assume that that means the trade was canceled. Orders can only be canceled if they have not been executed. Ask your firm about how you should check to see if a cancellation order actually worked. If you purchase a security in a cash account, you must pay for it before you can sell it In a cash account, you must pay for the purchase of a stock before you sell it. If you buy and sell a stock before paying for it, you are free riding, which violates the credit extension provisions of the Reserve bank. If you free ride, your broker must "freeze your account for 90 days. You can still trade during the freeze, but you must fully pay for any purchase on the date you trade while the freeze is in effect. You can avoid the freeze if you fully pay for the stock within five days from the date of the purchase with funds that do not come from the sale of the stock. You can always ask your broker for an extension or waiver, but you may not get it. If you trade on margin, your broker can sell your securities without giving you a margin call Now is the time to reread your margin agreement and pay attention to the fine print. If your account has fallen below the firm's maintenance margin requirement, your broker has the legal right to sell your securities at any time without consulting you first.
33
Some investors have been rudely surprised that "margin calls" are a courtesy, not a requirement. Brokers are not required to make margin calls to their customers. Even when your broker offers you time to put more cash or securities into your account to meet a margin call, the broker can act without waiting for you to meet the call. In a rapidly declining market your broker can sell your entire margin account at a substantial loss to you, because the securities in the account have declined in value. No regulations require a trade to be executed within a certain time There are no Securities and Exchange Commission regulations that require a trade to be executed within a set period of time. But if firms advertise their speed of execution, they must not exaggerate or fail to tell investors about the possibility of significant delays. Margin Trading Tips: Create a Strategy or Plan- The most important thing you can do to succeed with day trading is to have a strategy! Having a day trading strategy or plan, means having a pre-defined set of rules we have developed for our day trading. Too many people start day trading without a plan in place, completely Unprepared. With a day trading strategy or plan we're way ahead of the crowd and we will increase our chance of making money with trading.
Follow the trading strategy - The easiest way to follow a trading strategy is to automate it. Almost every day trading strategy can be automated, and we could let the computer trade for us. We won't have to worry about our discipline any longer, as the computer mechanically trades every setup for us.

Control your losses - we've probably heard the saying Let your profits run. Unfortunately most traders let their losses run. A day trading plan will get us out of a position when the Predefined stop is hit. Our day trading plan should help us to limit our losses. By law, we are required to have some amount of money or more in an account for trading. However, you can day trade currency with only a few hundred rupees. The term day trading is a often misused and misunderstood. Real day trading means not holding on to our positions beyond the current trading day; in other words, not holding any position overnight. This is really the safest way to do day trading because we are not exposed to the potential losses that can happen when the stock market is closed. Unfortunately, many people who claim to be day traders hold stocks overnight because of fear or greed, many times setting themselves up to lose their money. Limit your losses! This is one of the most important rules that a day trader must learn. There is no rule of thumb as to how a day trader should limit his or her losses, but there are basic steps that can be followed. One of the main reasons people lose money in day trading is because they do not limit their losses. For example, a person that Claims to be "day trading" buys a stock and when the Stock starts dropping, he says to himself, "I am going to wait because the stock is going to go back up." The stock then continues to drop and he realizes that he should have sold it earlier, when he was losing less.
When
the
traditional
"closing"
time
(3:30
PM
IST)
of
the
stock market is near, he decides that he is going to hold the stock until the next day, when it will surely recover. News is released overnight that is negative for the entire market. When the market opens the next morning, all stocks are lower, including the stock of our "day trader." At this point, the "day trader" is a lot more nervous and a lot less wealthy. His denial reaches such gigantic proportions, that he convinces himself that he is really not a "day trader, but an "investor," and so
35
He is going to hold the stock as long as it takes to make up what he lost. As the stock market dips, He loses his sleep and becomes severely depressed, convinced that day trading does not work. Don't let this happen to you. Always, limit your losses! Don't day trade with all your money! This rule means that we will only use part of our capital for day trading. The reason being that we do not know for sure we will be successful in day trading or not. The bulk of our capital should always be in very solid, fundamentally sound investments or managed accounts. The learning curve for day trading varies from person to person. One factor is the person's investing and trading experience and knowledge. Some people can get started day trading in about one month, while for some it takes anywhere from three to six months. It is important to note that some people will never learn to day trade correctly. This can be because of a series of different factors, like a lack of discipline, an uncontrollable fear of losing money, etc.
Delivery based trading; Delivery based trading is a trading where one can buy the share and hold the share for n number of days. Where one can place the order and the share is delivered to his De-mat a/c and he sell it at any time or any of the working days. He can weight for the right time to sell it off. Here lot of analysis work to be done before buying a particular script. If he holds the share for long time he can enjoy the benefit of dividends, bonus shares etc. One can also convert day traded script into delivery based if it is not profitable or he is not satisfied by the profit he earned. In delivery based trading the risk is little bit low as compared with the day trading. The share price mainly depends on the companys profit/loss, mergers & acquisition s, overall performance.

Buy and hold is a long term investment strategy based on the concept that in the long run financial markets give a good rate of return despite periods of Volatility or decline. This viewpoint also holds that market timing, i.e. the concept that one can enter the market on the lows and sell on the highs, does not work or does not work for small investors so it is better to simply buy and hold. The antithesis of buy and hold is the concept of day trading in which money can be made in the short term if an individual tries to short on the peaks, and buy on the lows with greater money coming with greater volatility. One of the strongest arguments for the buy and hold strategy is the efficient market hypothesis: If every security is fairly valued at all times, then there is really no point to trade. Some take the buy and hold strategy to an extreme, advocating that you should never sell a security unless you need the money. Exposure limits in Standard Charted-STCI Capital Market securities ltd: Standard Charted-STCI Capital Markets securities is offering an exposure limit of 1:4 for delivery based traders, although all the exposure limits depends on the clients loyalty and the risk managers decisions in order to give the exposure limit. Brokerage charges: 0.4% in Standard Charted-STCI Capital Market securities ltd. for delivery based trading. It is much lesser than any other broking company.
Settlement system; If any one placed the order under delivery based trading all settlement will happens in T+2days i.e. trading day +2 days, that means he can dispatch the check or cash within these days, also if he buy/sell a particular script under this, he can obtain the profit/loss & script under his a/c within these days.
37
Advantages; For high return one can weight for a long term. Risk is low as compared to day trading. Need not to be much experienced. No keen market watch is required. Able to hold the shares & one can enjoy the benefits like dividends; bonus shares etc. if he holds the share for long time. Share price movements can be predicted for long time. Less volatile as compared with time (long run).
Disadvantages; Need good analytical kind of work. Depends on the companys performance. No order types so that to limit losses. Exposure limit for trading is low as compared to day trading. Flexibility is low.
Delivery based trading the investment, profit/loss made all depends on how the company performs year-on-year. The investor be aware of the companys ratios, quarter results, mergers &acquisitions, products, market share, brand Image etc, in order to earn profits. The investor should be very much analytical so that he can predict the future share price. He should not be sentimentally attached to any particular script, however he can weight until the company regains its positions in market.
