Trading on the BOLT System is conducted
from Monday to Friday between 9:55 a.m. and
3:30 p.m. The scrip’s traded on the Exchange
have been classified into 'A', 'B1', 'B2','T', ‘S',
‘TS' 'F' ,'G' and 'Z' groups.
The Exchange has for the guidance and benefit
of the investors have classified the scrip’s inthe Equity Segment into 'A', 'B1', 'B2','T', ‘S',
‘TS' and 'Z' groups on certain qualitative and
quantitative parameters which include number
of trades, value traded, etc.
The “F” Group represents the Fixed Income
Securities.
The “T” Group represents scrip's which are
settled on a trade to trade basis as a
surveillance measure.
The “S” Group represent scrip’s forming part
of the “ BSE-Indonext” segment . The “TS”
Group consist of scrip’s in the “ BSE-
Indonext” segment which are settled on a trade
to trade basis as a surveillance measure.
Trading in Govt. Securities for retail investors

The scrip’s of the companies which are in
demat can be traded in market lot of one but
the securities of companies which are still in
the physical form are traded on the Exchange
in the market lot of generally either 50 or 100.
However, the investors having quantities of
securities less than the market lot are required
to sell them as "Odd Lots". The facility of
trading in odd lots of securities not only offers
an exit route to investors to dispose of their odd
lots of securities but also provides them an
opportunity to consolidate their securities into
market lots.
This facility of selling physical shares in
compulsory demat scrips is called an Exit
Route Scheme. This facility can also be used
by small investors for selling upto 500 shares
in physical form in respect of scrips of
companies where trades are required to be
compulsorily settled by all investors in demat
mode.
Listed Securities:

The securities of companies which have signed
Listing Agreement with the Exchange are
traded at the Exchange as "Listed Securities".
Baring a few scrip’s, all scrip’s traded in the
Equity Segment at the Exchange fall in this
category.
Permitted Securities:
To facilitate the market participants to trade in
securities of the companies which are actively
traded at other Regional Stock Exchanges but
are not listed on the Exchange, the Exchange
has in April 2002 decided to permit trading in
such securities as “Permitted Securities"
provided they meet the relevant norms
specified by the Exchange.
Tick Size:
Tick size is the minimum differences in rates
between two orders on the same side i.e., buy
or sell, entered on the system for particular scrip. Trading in scrip’s listed on the Exchange
is done with the tick size of 5 paise.
However, in order to increase

Compulsory Rolling Settlement
(CRS) Segment:
As per the directive by SEBI, all transactions in
all groups of securities in the Equity Segment
and Fixed Income securities listed on the
Exchange are required to be settled on T+2
basis w.e.f. from April 1, 2003. The settlement
calendar, which indicates the dates of the
various settlement related activities, is drawn
by the Exchange in advance and is circulated
among the market participants.
Under
rolling settlements, the trades done on a
particular day are settled after a given number
of business days. A T+2 settlement cycle means
that the final settlement of transactions done on
T, i.e., trade day by exchange of monies and
securities between the buyers and sellers
respectively takes place on second business day
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, bank andExchange trading holidays) after the trade day.
The transactions in securities of companies
which have made arrangements for
Page | 24
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 25/106
dematerialization of their securities are settled
only in demat mode on T+2 on net basis, i.e.,
buy and sell positions of a member-broker in
the same scrip are netted and the net quantity
and value is required to be settled. However,
transactions in securities of companies, which
are in "Z" group or have been placed under
"trade to trade" by the Exchange as a
surveillance measure (“T” and “TS” group) ,
are settled only on a gross basis and the facility
of netting of buy and sell transactions in such
scrip’s is not available.
The Exchange has introduced a new segment
named “BSE Indonext” w.e.f. January 7, 2005.
“S” group consists of scrips from “B1” & “B2”
group on BSE and companies exclusively listed
on regional stock exchanges having capital of 3
crores to 30 crores. All trades in this segment
are done through BOLT system under S group.
The transactions in 'F' group securities
representing "Fixed Income Securities" and "
G" group representing Govt. Securities for
retail investors are also settled at the Exchange
on T+2 basis.

and pay-out of funds and securities takes places
on the second business day (i.e., excluding
Saturday, Sundays and bank & Exchange
trading holidays) of the day of the execution of
the trade.
* 6A/7A : A mechanism whereby the
obligation of settling the transactions done by amember-broker on behalf of a client is passed
on to a custodian based on confirmation of
latter. The custodian can confirm the trades
done by the members on-line and upto 11 a.m.
on the next trading day. The late confirmation
of transactions by the custodian after 11:00
a.m. upto 12:15 p.m., on the next trading day
is, however, permitted subject to payment of
charges for late confirmation @ 0.01% of the
value of trades confirmed or Rs. 10,000/-,
whichever is less.

securities) done by a member-broker on his
own account or on behalf of his individual,

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 34/106
through the member-broker himself or through
a SEBI registered custodian appointed by
him/client. In case the delivery/payment in
respect of a transaction executed by a member-
broker is to be given or taken by a registered
custodian, then the latter has to confirm the
trade done by a member-broker on the BOLT
System through 6A-7A entry. For this purpose,
the custodians have been given connectivity to
BOLT System and have also been admitted as
clearing member of the Clearing House. In case
a transaction done by a member-broker is not
confirmed by a registered custodian within the
time permitted, the liability for pay-in of funds
or securities in respect of the same devolves on
the concerned member-broker.
The following statements can be downloaded
by the members in their back offices on a daily
basis.
a. Statements giving details of the daily
transactions entered into by the members.
b. Statements giving details of margins
payable by the member-brokers in
respect of the trades executed by them.

Demat pay-in :
The members can effect pay-in of demat
securities to the Clearing House through either of the Depositories i.e. the National Securities
Depository Ltd. (NSDL) or Central Depository
Services (I) Ltd. (CDSL). The members are
required to give instructions to their respective
Depository Participants (DPs) specifying
details such as settlement no., effective pay-in
date, quantity, etc.
Members may also effect pay-in directly from
the clients' beneficiary accounts through
CDSL. For this, the clients are required to
mention the settlement details and clearing
member ID through whom they have sold the
securities. Thus, in such cases the Clearing
Members are not required to give any delivery
instructions from their accounts.
In case, if a member-broker fails to deliver the
securities, then the value of shares delivered
short is recovered from him at the
standard/closing rate of the scrip’s on the
trading day.

Auto delivery facility :
Instead of issuing Delivery instructions for
their securities delivery obligations in demat
mode in various scrip’s in a settlement /auction,
a facility has been made available to the
members of automatically generating Delivery
instructions on their behalf from their CM Pool
accounts maintained with NSDL and CM
Principal Accounts maintained with CDSL.
This auto delivery facility is available for CRS
(Normal & Auction) and for trade to trade
settlements. This facility is, however, not
available for delivery of non-pari passu shares
and shares having multiple ISINs. The
members wishing to avail of this facility have
to submit an authority letter to the Clearing
House. This auto delivery facility is currently
available for Clearing Member (CM) Pool
accounts and Principal accounts maintained by
the members with the respective depositories .

form:

form, the members have to deliver the
securities to the Clearing Hose in special
closed pouches along with the relevant details
like distinctive numbers, scrip code, quantity,
etc., on a floppy. The data submitted by the
members on floppies is matched against the
master file data on the Clearing House
computer systems. If there is no discrepancy,
then the securities are accepted.

Clearing House. Based on the break up given
by the member-brokers, the Clearing House
instructs depositories, viz., CDSL & NSDL to
credit the securities to the Beneficiary Owners
(BO) Accounts of the clients. In case delivery
of securities received from one depository is to
be credited to an account in the other
depository, the Clearing House does an inter
depository transfer to give effect to such
transfers.
In case of physical securities,
the Receiving Members are required to collect
the same from the Clearing House on the pay-
out day.
Funds Payout:
The bank accounts of the members having pay-
out of funds are credited by the Clearing House
with the Clearing Banks on the pay-in day
itself

securities, then the value of shares delivered
short is recovered from him at the

term used for conversion of shares from their
physical form to electronic form. This
conversion is done by NSDL and CDSL. The
CDSL acts as a depository for BSE, whereas
the NSDL acts as a depository for NSE. After
dematerialization, shares cease to exist in their
physical form.
Merits of dematerialization:
No risk of being fake or stolen shares.
No stamp duty while transfer of shares.
Free from tedious paperwork as it was in the
physical form.

Stock exchanges have now discarded the
concept of marketable lots, small lots and
odd lots.
Rematerialization:
Rematerialization is the reverse of
dematerialization. It means to convert the
electronically held shares back into physical form.
You have the complete freedom of conversion
from electronic form to physical form whenever
you want to do so.
OPEN INTEREST IN
DERIVATIVE MARKET
Open interest means the total number of
open contracts on a security, that is, the number
Page | 43
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 44/106
of future contracts or options contracts that
have not been exercised, expired or full filled
by delivery. Hence we can say that the open
interest position at the end of each day
represents the net increase or decrease in the
number of contracts for that day. However, it is
to be noted that open interest is not the same as
trading volume. Trading volume represents the
total number of contracts that are traded during
a day, inclusive of both squared –off (closed)
positions and new positions. Thus, for any day,
the trading volume will always be higher than
the open interest.
What is open interest?
Every trade in the exchange would have
an impact on the open interest for that day. Say,
for example, “A” buys one contract of Nifty on
Monday while “B” buys two on the same day.
Open interest at the end of the day will be
three. On Tuesday, while “A” sells his one
contract to “C”, “B” buys another Nifty
contract. The open interest at the end of the day
is now four. In other words, if both parties to

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 46/106
positions and suggests the flow of extra money
into the market.
RISING MARKET AND DECREASING
OPEN INTEREST
If despite a rise in market, the open
interest decreases, it can be interpreted as a
precursor to a trend reversal. The lack of
additions to open interest shows that the
markets are rising on the back of short-sellers
covering their existing positions. This also
implies that money is flowing out of the
market, given that open interest is decreasing.
FALLING MARKET AND INCREASING
OPEN INTEREST
When open interest records an increase in
value amidst falling market, it could be a
bearish signal. Though a rise in open interest
means that new money is probably being used
Page | 46
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 47/106
for creating fresh short positions, which will
lead to a further downtrend.
FALLING MARKET AND
DECREASING OPEN INTEREST
If open interest decreases in a falling
market, it can be attributed to the forced
squaring- off of long – positions by traders. It,
thus, represents a trend reversal, since the
downtrend in the market is likely to reverse
after the long positions have been squared off.
Thus, in a falling market, a declining open
interest can be considered a signal indicating
the strengthening of the market.
SIDEWAYS MARKET ANDINCRESING OPEN INTEREST
If the open
interest decreases in a sideways market, we can
Page | 47
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 48/106
say that flat market trends will continue for
some more time. A decrease in open interest
only represents the squaring-off of old
positions and lack of any new positions might
result in a sideways or weak trends in the
market.
Though open interest is a good barometer
of where the markets are heading; it is only an
indicator that helps us trade intelligently it
cannot be considered foolproof.
THE INDEX NUMBER
An index is a number which
measures the change in a set of values over a
period of time. A stock index represents the
change in value of a set of stocks which
constitute the index. More specifically, a stock
index number is the current relative value of a
weighted average of the prices of a pre-defined
group of equities. It is a relative value to the
weighted average of prices at some arbitrarily
chosen starting date or base period. The
Page | 48
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 49/106
starting value or base of the index is usually set
to a number such as 100 or 1000. for example
the base value of the Nifty was set to 1000 on
the start date of November 3, 1994.
A good stock market index is on which
captures the behavior of the overall equity
market. It should represent the market, it
should be well diversified and yet highly
liquid. Movements of the index should
represent the returns obtained by “typical”
portfolios in the country.
A market index is very important for its use
As a barometer for market behavior,
As a benchmark portfolio performance,
As an underlying in derivative
instruments like index futures,
In passive fund management by index
funds
Also acts a barometer for lot of elements
such as liquidity in the market, thegrowth of the economy, the investor’s
confidence, government policies etc.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 50/106
DESIRABLE ATTRIBUTE OF AN
INDEX
A good market index should have the following
attributes:
It should capture the behavior of a large
variety of different portfolios in the
market.
The stocks included in the index should
be highly liquid.
It should be professionally maintained.
Capturing Behavior Of Portfolios
A good market index should accurately
reflect the behavior of the overall market as
well as of different portfolios. This is achieved
by diversification in such a manner that a
portfolio is not vulnerable to any individual
stock or industry risk. A well diversified index
is more representative of the market. However
there is diminishing returns form
Page | 50
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 51/106
diversification, there is very little gain by
diversifying beyond a point; the more serious
problem lies in the stocks that are included in
the index when it is diversified. We end up
including illiquid stocks, which actually
worsen the index. Since an illiquid stock does
not reflect the current price behavior of the
market, its inclusion in index results in an
index, which reflects, delayed or stale price
behavior rather than current price behavior of
the market.
Including Liquid Stocks
Liquidity is much more than trading
frequency, it is about ability to transact at a
price, which is very close to the current market
price. For example, a stock is considered liquid
if one can buy some shares at around Rs.120.05
and sell at around Rs.119.95, when the market
price is ruling at Rs.120. a liquid stock has very
tight bid ask spread.
Maintaining Professionally
Page | 51
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 52/106
It is now clear that an index should
contain as many stocks with as little impact
cost as possible. This necessarily means that
the same set of stocks would not satisfy these
criteria at all times, a good index methodology
must therefore incorporate a steady pace of
change in the index set. It is crucial that such
changes are made at a steady pace. It is very
healthy to make a few changes every year, each
of which is small and does not dramatically
alter the character of the index, on a regular
basis, the index set should be reviewed, and
brought inline with the current state of market,
to meet the application needs of users, a time
series of the index sold be available.
Impact cost
Market impact cost is a measure of the
liquidity of the market. It reflects the costs
faced when actually trading an index. For a
stock to qualify for possible inclusion into the
index, it has to have market impact cost of
below 0.75% when doing Nifty trades of half a
crores rupees. The market impact cost on a
Page | 52
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 53/106
trade of Rs.3 million of the full Nifty works out
to be about 0.05%. This means that if Nifty is
at 4000, a buy order goes through at 4002, i.e.
4000+ (4000*0.0005) and a sell order gets
3998 i.e. 4000-(4000*0.0005)
FUTURES AND OPTIONS
An option is different form futures in
several ways. At practical level, the option
buyer faces an interesting situation. He pays for
the options in full at the time it is purchased.
After this, he only has an upside. There is no
possibility of the options position generatingany further losses to him. This is different
form futures, which is free to enter into, but
can generate very large losses. This
characteristic makes options attractive to many
occasional market participants, who cannot put
in the time to closely monitor their futures positions.
Buying put options is buying insurance.
To buy a put option on Nifty is to buy
insurance which reimburses the full extent to
Page | 53
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 54/106
which Nifty drops below the strike price of the
put option. This is attractive to many people,
and to mutual funds creating “guaranteed
return products”.
TRADING UNDERLYING VERSUS
TRADING SINGLE STOCK
FUTURES
The single stock futures market in India
has been a great success story across the world.
NSE ranks first in the world in terms of
number of contracts traded in single stock
futures. One of the reasons for the success
Page | 54
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 55/106
could be the ease of trading and settling these
contracts.
To trade securities, a customer must open
a security trading account with a securities
broker and a demat account with a securities
depository. Buying security involves putting up
all the money upfront. With the purchase of
shares of a company, the holder becomes a part
owner of the company. The shareholder
typically receives the rights and privileges
associated with the security, which may include
the receipt of dividends, invitation to the
annual shareholders meeting and the power to
vote.
Selling securities involves buying the
security before selling it. Even in cases where
short selling is permitted, it is assumed that the
securities broker owns the security and then
“lends” it to the trader so that he can sell it,
besides, even if permitted, short sales on
security can only be executed on an up tick.
To trade futures, a customer must open a
futures trading account with a derivatives
broker. Buying futures simply involves putting
Page | 55
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 56/106
in the margin money. They enable the futures
traders to take a position in the underlying
security without having to open an account
with a securities broker. With the purchase of
futures on a security, the holder essentially
makes a legally binding promise or obligation
to buy the underlying security at some point in
the future. Security futures do not represent
ownership in a corporation and the holder is
therefore not regarded as a shareholder.
DERIVATIVE MARKET AT NSE
The derivatives trading on the NSE
commenced with S&P CNX Nifty Index
futures on June 12, 2000. The trading in index
options commenced on June 4, 2001 and
trading in options on individual securities
commenced on July 2, 2001. Single stock
futures were launched on November9, 2001.
Today, both in terms of volume and turnover,
The mini derivative Futures & Options
contract on S&P CNX Nifty was
introduced for trading on January 1,
Page | 56
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 57/106
2008 while the long term option
contracts on S&P CNX Nifty were
introduced for trading on March 3
2008
NSE is the largest derivatives exchange
in India.
Currently, the
derivatives contracts have a maximum of 3-
month expiration cycles. Three contracts are
available for trading, with 1 month, 2 months
and 3 months expiry.
A new contract is introduced on the next
trading day following the expiry of the near
month contract.
INDEX DERIVATIVES
Index derivatives are derivative contracts
which have the index as the underlying. The
most popular index derivatives contract the
world over is index futures and index options.
NSE’s market index, the S&P CNX Nifty was
scientifically designed to enable the launch of
Page | 57
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 58/106
index- based products like index derivatives
and index funds. The first derivative contract to
be traded on NSE’s market was the index
futures contract with the Nifty as the
underlying. This was followed by Nifty options
and thereafter by sectoral indexes, CNX IT and
BANK Nifty contracts.
FUTURES TERMINOLOGY
SPOT PRICE: The price at which an asset
trades in the spot market
FUTURES PRICE: The price at which the
futures contract trades in the futures market.
CONTRACT CYCLE: The period over
which a contract trades. The index futures
contracts on the NSE have one month, two
months and three months expiry cycles whichexpire on the last Thursday of the month. Thus
a January expiration contract expires on the last
Thursday of January.
Page | 58
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 59/106
EXPIRY DATE: It is the date specified in the
futures contract. This is the last day on which
the contract will be traded, at the end of which
it will cease to exist.
CONTRACT SIZE: The amount of asset that
has to be delivered under one contract. For
instance, the contract size on NSE’s futures
market is 200 Nifties.
BASIS: In the context of financial futures,
basis can be defined as the futures price minus
the spot price, there will be a different basis for
each delivery month for each contract. In a
normal market, basis will be positive; this
reflects that futures prices normally exceed
spot prices.
COST OF CARRY: the relationship between
futures prices and spot prices can be
summarized in terms of what is known as the
cost of carry. This measures the storage cost
Page | 59
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 60/106
plus the interest that is paid to finance the asset
less the income earned on the asset.
INITIAL MARGIN: the amount that must be
deposited in the margin account at the time
a futures contract is first entered into is known
as initial margin.
MARKET TO MARKET: in the futures
market, at the end of each trading day, the
margin account is adjusted to reflect the
investor’s gain or loss depending upon the
futures closing price. This is called Marking-to-
market.
MAINTENANCE MARGIN: This is
somewhat lower than the initial margin. This is
set to ensure that the balance in the margin
account never becomes negative. If the balance
in the margin account falls below the
maintenance margin, the investor receives a
margin call and is expected to top up the
margin account to the initial margin level
before trading commences on the next day.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 61/106
A futures contract is different from the
underlying stock in the following ways:
When we buy a stock, we pay the full
value of the transaction (i.e. the number
of shares multiplied by market price of
each share) whereas in futures we pay
only the margin which is a fraction of the
total transaction value.
There is no time limit of settlement in
cash market but in case of futures
contracts, they are dated. An Indian
futures settlement currently takes place
on the last Thursday of every month. So
the current month’s futures expire on the
month’s last Thursday. If a trader has to
carry his position to the next month, he
has to shift his position to the next
month’s future.
One can only go long in the spot market.
We cannot short sell unless we borrow
the stock, something which is neither
Page | 61
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 62/106
cheaper nor convenient whereas one can
go long or short on the futures depending
on his short term view of the markets.
The cash market has a lot of none, i.e. a
person can buy any stock in the multiple
of one unit where as a futures contract is
the smallest unit which one can trade in
the futures market.
There is no way of taking a position on
the index through the cash market
whereas futures facilitate trading of index
futures.
A futures contract price
is the sum of cash price and the monthly cost of
carry. The cost of carry should always be
positive because a futures trade is really a
carried forward product similar to the erstwhile
badla. But just as badla rates sometimes
become negative when the market sentiment is
bearish, the cost of carry can also similarly be
negative when the sentiment is poor.

INDEX DERIVATIVES FOR HEDGING
To understand the use and functioning of
the index derivatives markets, it is necessary to
understand the underlying index. By looking at
an index, we know how the market is faring.
Index derivatives allow people to cheaply alter
their risk exposure to an index (hedging) and to
implement forecasts about index movements
(speculation). Hedging using index derivatives
has become a central part of risk management
in the modern economy.
Pricing the Futures
A futures price can be
simply derived by applying the cost of carry
logic, by which the fair value of a futures
Page | 66
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 67/106
contract can be determined. Every time the
observed price deviates form the fair value,
arbitragers would enter into trades to capture
the arbitrage profit. This in turn would push the
futures price back to its fair value. The cost of
carry model used for pricing futures is as
follows:
F=SerT
Where:
r= cost of financing continuously compounded
interest rate
T= Time till expiration in years
e= 2.71828
Example:
Security XYZ ltd trades in the spot market at
Rs. 1150. Money can be invested at 11% p.a.
The fair value of a one month futures contract
on XYZ is calculated as follows:
Page | 67
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 68/106
F = SerT
=1150*e0.11*1/12
=1160
INITIAL MARGIN
At the inception of a contract every client
is required to pay initial margin. This
margin is must to every trading member.
Initial margins are charged on Trade by
Trade basis
Initial margins are charged by NSCCL
Initial margins are charged for the
purpose of recovery and safe guard
against the fluctuation in the market.
A future value is calculated on cost of

CONVERGENCE OF FUTURES PRICE
TO SPOT PRICE
As the delivery month of a futures
contract is approached, the futures price
converges to the spot price of the underlying
asset. When the delivery period is reached, the
futures price equals or is very close to the spot
price.
To see why this so, we first suppose that
the futures price is above the spot price during
the delivery period. Traders then have a clear
arbitrage opportunity:
Short a futures contract
Buy the asset
Make the delivery
Page | 69
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 70/106
These steps are
certain to lead to a profit equal to the amount
by which the futures price exceeds the spot
price. As traders exploit this arbitrage
opportunity, the futures price will fall. Suppose
next that the futures price is below the spot
price during the delivery period. Companies
interested in acquiring the asset will find it
attractive to enter into a long futures contract
and then wait for delivery to be made. As they
do so, the futures price will tend to rise.
The result is that
the futures price is very close to the spot price
during the delivery period.
The convergence of the
futures price to the spot price when
future price is above the spot price
can be pictorially represented as
follow:

Thus an option is the right to buy or sell a
specified amount of a financial instrument at a
pre- arranged price on, or before, a particular
date.
There are two options which can be exercised:
Call option, a right to buy is referred to
as a call option.
Put option, the right to sell is referred as
a put option.
OPTION TERMINOLOGY
INDEX OPTIONS: these options have the
index as the underlying. Some options are
European while others are American. European
style options can be exercised only on the
maturity date of the option, which is known as
the expiry date. An American style option can be exercised at any time up to, and including,
the expiry date. It is to be noted that the
distinction has nothing to do with geography.

STOCK OPTIONS: Stock options are
options on individual stocks. A contract gives
the holder the right to buy or sell shares at the
specified price.
BUYER OF AN OPTION: the buyer of an
option is the one who by paying the option
premium buys the right but not the obligation
to exercise his options on the seller/writer.
WRITER OF AN OPTION: The writer of a
call/put option is the one who receives the
option premium and is thereby obliged to
sell/buy the asset if the buyer exercised on him.

STRIKE PRICE: the price specified in the
options contract is known as the strike price or
the exercise price.
IN THE MONEY OPTION: An in the
money option is an option that would lead to a
positive cash flow to the holder if it were
exercised immediately. A call option on the
index is said to be in-the-money (ITM) when
the current index stands at a level higher than
the strike price (i.e. spot price> strike price). If
the index is much higher than the strike price,
the call is said to be deep ITM.. In the case of a
put, the put is ITM if the index is below the
strike price.
AT THE MONEY OPTION: An at the
money option is an option that would lead to
zero cash flow if it were exercised
immediately. An option on the index is at the
money when the current index equals the strike
price(i.e. spot price = strike price).

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 79/106
OUT OF THE MONEY OPTION: An out
of the money (OTM) option is an option that
would lead to a negative cash flow if it were
exercised immediately. A call option on the
index is out of the money when the current
index stands at a level which is less than the
strike price(i.e. spot price < strike price). If the
index is much lower than the strike price, the
call is said to be deep OTM. In the case of a
put, the put is OTM if the index is above the
strike price.
INTRINSIC VALUE OF AN OPTION:
The option premium can be broken down into
two components- intrinsic value and time
value. The intrinsic value of a call is the
amount the option is ITM, if it is ITM. If the
call is OTM, its intrinsic value is zero.
TIME VALUE OF AN OPTION: The time
value of an option is the difference between its
premium and its intrinsic value. Usually, the
maximum time value exists when the option is
ATM. The longer the time to expiration, the
greater is an option’s time value, or else equal.

At expiration, an option should have no time
value.
STRATEGIES IN FUTURES
AND OPTIONS
The following are the four basic
strategies in options market which can be
further designed in combination of one or more
of the basic strategies, but all the complex
strategies are based on the following 4 basic
kind of strategies, so the understanding of these
4 strategies is very essential before we go any
further:
BUYING A CALL OPTION

the above strategy:

Figure: C
In the above example when GMR falls to
a price of Rs.400, the buyer of the option can
purchase the share form the market at Rs.400
with out exercising the right to buy the stock at
Rs.500. However, on that he incurs a loss of
Rs.25 as the premium being paid for the option
remaining unexercised. But suppose that the
Page | 82
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 83/106
share prices rise to Rs.750 then the holder of
the option has the right to purchase that share
at a price of Rs.500 form the seller of the
option. In this case any price level above
Rs.525 (500+25), which is the breakeven point,
results in a profit for the buyer of the option.
Investment in the above option is
Rs.25*1000=Rs.25000.
In the above diagram we can notice that
the payoffs are one to one after the price of the
underlying security rises above the exercise
price. When the security price is less than the
exercise price, the option is referred to as out of
the money.
Form the above figure it can be seen that
the investor who is already long i.e. holds a
stock bears a loss only to the extent of Rs.25
because no matter if the share price fall below
Rs.500 the investor is not holding any stock.
Once the investor is either long or short the
stock he can adopt any of these strategies to
hedge his risk.
The above strategy was applied in the
month of June

Table: B
As it can be seen from the above table
that the call option price of the stock has given
a fantastic return of over 900% on investment
of Rs.25000 only. Here the risk of the above
investment was limited only to Rs.25000
BUYING A PUT
The second strategy is the put strategy where
the buyer of the put option has to pay a
premium(price) for the option to sell a
specified quantity at a specified price any time
prior to the maturity of the option. Here wetake the example of buying a put option on the
stock of AIR DECCAN. The exercise price was
Rs.140. The premium paid on the above option

was Rs.4.10 on 04-06-2009. investment in the
above strategy is Rs.4.10*2500=Rs.10,250.
The pay off form a put can be illustrated.
Notice that the payoffs are one to one when the
price of the security is less than the exercise
price.

A put option is a contact giving its owner
the right to sell a fixed amount of a specified
underlying asset at a price at any time on or
before a fixed date. On the expiration date, the
value of the put on a per share basis will be the
Page | 86

price or zero.
In the above diagram we can notice how
the down side risk is minimized if the stock is
volatile and the share prices may fall.
Here an investor will get profits only if the
stock falls below Rs.134.9
In this option the investor has gained 64.6%
with in a month.
WRITING THE CALL OPTIONS
A call option gives the buyer the right to
buy the underlying asset at the strike price
specified in the option. For selling the option,
the writer of the option charges a premium. The
profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option
depends on the spot price of the underlying.
Whatever is the buyer’s profit is the seller’s
loss. If upon expiration, the spot price exceeds
the strike price, the buyer will exercise the
option on the writer. Hence as the spot price
Page | 87
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 88/106
increases the writer of the option starts making
losses. Higher the spot price more is the loss he
makes, if upon expiration the spot price of the
underlying is less than the strike price, the
buyer lets his option expire unexercised and the
writer gets to keep the premium.
As the options are always costly at the
beginning of the month we have written a call
option on CAIRN INDIA LIMITED ON 1st of
June at a strike price of Rs.140 with a premium
of Rs.8.5,

Here we can see that the investment in
this option is nil, as the call writer will get the
premium at which he is writing. The net return
on this option at the expiry period was
Rs.10,624.
WRITING OF PUT OPTIONS
A put option gives the buyer the right to
sell the underlying asset at the strike price
specified in the option. For selling the option,
the writer of the option charges a premium, the
profit/loss that the buyer makes on the option
depends on the spot price of the underlying.

underlying happens to be below the strike
price, the buyer will exercise the option on the
writer. If upon the expiration the spot price of
the underlying is more than the strike price, the
buyer lets his option expire un-exercised and
the writer gets to keep the premium.

As with the written call, the upside is limited to
the premium of the option (the initial price).
The downside is limited to the minimum asset
price-which is zero. We can clearly see from
these diagrams that the investor, depending
upon his risk appetite and the outlook about the
market conditions, can minimize his losses.
The net return on this option at the expiry

CONCLUSIONS
1) Derivatives in equity specially are more
suited to provide for hedging and more
cost effective. It has less risky and more
profitable.
2) As the stock Index Futures and Options
are available, the FII’s buying /selling
operations can be performed at greater
speed and less cost and without adding
too much to market volatility.
Page | 100
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 101/106
3) Most of investors are trading not only in
derivatives for hedging, but also for other
purposes.
4) Derivatives do not create any new risk.
They simply manipulate risks and
transfer them to those who are willing to
bear these risks.
5) Hedging through derivatives reduces the
risk of owning a specified asset, which
may be share currency etc.
6) All derivative instruments are very
simple to operate. Treasury managers
and portfolio managers can hedge all
risks without going through the tedious
process of hedging each day and
amount/share separately.
7) Derivatives also offer high liquidity. Just
as derivatives can be contracted easily, it
is also possible for companies to get out
of positions in case that market reacts
Page | 101
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 102/106
otherwise. This also does not involve
much cost.
8) Derivatives are not only desirable but
also necessary to hedge the complex
exposure and volatility that the financial
companies generally face in the capital
markets today.
9) All derivative products are low cost
products. Companies can hedge a
substantial portion of their balance sheet
exposure, with a low margin requirement.
There is no
assured route for success. This is a fact which is
universally applicable and so in case of
investment. There is no short cut formula which
could be applied instantly and make money out
of it instantly in the stock market. Therefore, a
good investment takes time, patience, hard
work and perseverance to achieve success.
Over the next ten – twenty years, Indian capital
market and stock market may offer some of the

8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 103/106
best and lucrative opportunities to make big
money as compared to other investment
avenues.
SUGGESTIONS
1. There is a need to educate the investor in
futures and options market, due to its
complex nature an investor fails to
understand the risk reward of a particular
strategy, which may result into losses for
the investor.
2. An investor must also be thought as to
which strategy must be applied at what
situation, as application of appropriate
strategy at appropriate situation will
results into profitable transactions
3. An investor must also be suggested to
write certain derivative exams conducted
by leading financial organization in the
Page | 103
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 104/106
country for proper understanding of the
derivative market.
4. The research reports must be made more
explanatory which must show the risk
covered in a particular strategy and the
return which the investor can expect, it
must be accompanied by payoff chart
along with the line graph of the strategy
suggested.
5. Anand Rathi Securities can conduct
certain investor education camps in
collaboration with leading media
channels, which will serve both the
purpose which are brand advertisement
and investor awareness.
6. There is a need to start derivative trading
at all stock exchanges in all over India.
As of now it’s limited to BSE and NSE.
7. A formal mechanism should be
established for co-ordination between
Page | 104
8/9/2019 17765525 Equities Market
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/17765525-equities-market 105/106
SEBI and RBI in respect of all financial
derivatives
8. Administrative machinery of existing
stock exchanges should be strengthened
wherever necessary. Tight supervision is
essential for successful derivative
trading.
9. SEBI has to implement more powerful
rules and regulations and implement
certain measures for taking strict action
against all illegal transactions.
