EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Stock exchange is an organized market place where securities are traded.
The Government, semi- Government bodies, public sector undertakings
and companies for borrowing funds raising resources issue these
securities. Securities are defined as any monetary claims and include
stock, shares, debentures, bonds etc. Under the securities Contract
Regulation Act 1956, the Central Government regulates securities trading
and such trading can take place only in stock exchanges recognized by
Government under this Act. As referred to earlier there are at present 23
such recognized stock exchanges in India. Of these, major stock
Exchanges, like Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Chennai, Hyderabad,
Bangalore etc.
A project entitled “A Study on Online Trading of Shares.” deals with
the priorities of the investors in investing their resources.
The study considers the preferences of the investors in Bangalore, taking
into consideration their age group, income earning capacity and their
educational qualification. The data for the study was collected using a
structured questionnaire.
The main limitation of the study is that, the survey was conducted on
investors only in Bangalore, due to lack of time.

CHAPTER - I
INTRODUCTION
E-business describes the use of electronic means and platforms to conduct
business. By this means the company has reduced all kinds of the paper
work and all information are flowing through the computer screen only.
E-commerce is more specific than e-business. It means that in addition to
provide information to visitors about the company, its history, policies,
and job opportunities the company or the site offer to transact or facilitate
the selling of the products and services online. E-commerce has given rise
in turn to e-purchasing and e-marketing. E-purchasing means companies
decide to purchase the goods and information or services from various
online suppliers. Smart e-purchasing has already saved company’s
million of rupees.
E marketing describes company’s effort to inform, communicate,
promote and sell its products and services over the Internet. E-business
and e-commerce take place over four Internet domains
B 2 B – business to business:
Online business selling to other businesses. Example
eSteel.com is a steel industry exchange that creates an
electronic market for steel producers and users.
At first B2B e-commerce primarily involved inter-business
exchanges, but a number of other B2B business models have
developed, including e-distributors, B2B service provider’s
matchmakers, and infomediaries that are widening the use of
B2B e-commerce.

“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.
B 2 C – business to consumer:
Online business selling to individual consumers.
Example amazon.com is a general merchandiser that sells
consumer products to retail consumer. Grown exponentially
since 1995, and is the type of e-commerce that most
consumers are likely to encounter.
C 2 C – consumer to consumer e-commerce:
Consumer selling to other consumers. Example
eBay.com creates a market space where consumers can
auction or sell goods directly to other consumers.
P 2 P Peer-to-Peer e-commerce:
E-commerce provides a way for consumers to sell to each
other, with the help of an online market such as auction site
eBay.
Use of peer-to-peer technology, which enables internet
users to share files and computer resources directly without
having to go through a central web server, in e-commerce.
Examples Gnutella is a soft ware application that permits
consumers to share music with one another directly, without
intervention of a market maker as in C2C e-commerce.

Definition of Online Trading on the web:
As per the web the sale of goods or services over the
Internet. Customers must enter and submit their credit card
details online; the sale will often proceed without the retailer
and customer ever having personal contact.
Online Trading Patterns:
Online Trading should be screen-based system only.
T+ 2 settlement (T means trading day).
It is a Stock wise and Financial wise.
Shares or security should be in D-Mat only.
Penalty clauses should be applied
Notionally any trade will be done by buying / selling took
place by NSE.
It is only cheque system but no cash system.
This is no intermediaries from 1-10-2004.
It is agreement between stockbrokers and investors.
It not even through authorized person.
It is transaction is franchisee (hand post) or directly should
register with SEBI (Securities Exchange Board of India)
through respective brokers.

Sources of the online marketing:
In the online marketing the most important is to know the
customer, and in order to know the customers the company must collect
information and store it in the customer’s database and do the database
marketing. A customer database is the organized collection of
comprehensive information about individual customers or prospects that
are current, accessible and actionable for such marketing purpose as lead
generation led qualification.
Database marketing is the process of building, maintain and using
customer’s databases and other databases for the purpose of contacting,
transacting, and building relationship.
Customer mailing list is totally different from customer database.
A customer mailing list is simply a set of names, address and telephone
numbers. A customer database contains much more information.
Companies accumulate this information through customer transactions,
registrations, and telephone queries. A customer database would ideally,
contain the customer past purchase, demographic, psychographics and
other useful information.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Online community is defined as a gathering of individuals in a
computer mediated environment who are united by a common purpose
and governed by self-determined policies.
Online community has five characteristics they are Purpose, Boundary,
Mutuality Rules, and Self-organization.
Why do people join online trading?
Internet has changed the pace of all activities in all over the world.
The share trading has also been affected with the winds of the changes.
Now the complicated procedure of share trading in share market has
become very easy because of the usage of the Internet in this type of
trading. The customers are getting the trading accounts through which
they can trade in the market. And for paying the money also they have no
need to go any where, the money will be debited or credited to customer’s
account automatically. So in the online trading the customers can by
sitting in the home only, trade in the share market.
Online trading will probably be one of the biggest drivers of
penetration as well as successes on the net. Even in India, however far
fetched the idea might be seen, right now. The reasons for this are
A lot more than shares will be traded on the net.
The savings on customer’s brokerage expenses on online trading
will be one of the most satisfying wages to gate.
The transparency, anonymity and certainty it offers are surefire
ways to enhance loyalty.

public sector undertakings and companies for borrowing funds raising
resources issue these securities. Securities are defined as any monetary
claims and include stock, shares, debentures, bonds etc.
Under the securities Contract Regulation Act 1956, the Central
Government regulates securities trading and such trading can take
place only in stock exchanges recognized by Government under this
Act. As referred to earlier there are at present 23 such recognized

Internet safety:
The safety of transaction on the Internet depends on the encryption
system used. The better this transaction system, the more difficult for any
person to back the site.
Secondly, customers can too ensure the safety of the transaction
online. They normally gets a secured user ID and pass word, the secrecy
of which is to be maintained by customers only.
Thirdly, if the transaction system requires no manual intervention,
customers further improve the safety of the transactions. This enables the
elimination of the possibility of any manual intervention. This means
orders are directly send to the exchanges, ensuring that the customers get
the best right price.
Security of money:
In systems where the broking, banking and demat accounting are
completely integrated, customer’s money remain in his own bank
account, and does not get transferred to the broker’s pool.
Easy:
The experience of trading through Internet depends a great deal on
the type of product offered by the site. Say, for example one of the issues
bothering customers may be tiered of the paper work after every trading
in writing cheques or TIFDs. Customer would then seek a system that
eliminates these processes. In online trading sites, the greater the back-
end integration of the system, the greater the amount of work do the site
Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 19 -
“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.
for the customers. Therefore, the greater convenience is available for
them.
For example, in case of ICICIDirect.com broking account, bank
account, and demat account are linked electronically. So when customers
punch in a buy or sell order, the system checks the funds/shares
availability and automatically credits/debits the accounts once the order
been executed by the exchange.
Economical:
Contrary to common perception, trading through Internet does not
require either any expertise in working on computer, or any special
financial skills. Customers could try the demo (demonstration) of the
online trading sites like ICICIDirect.com to find that customers can, with
little or no knowledge about the Internet or finance, have switched on to
online trading. Or they can attend the demonstration sessions held by
such websites in their city. The convenience provided by online trading is
even then worth the cost involved. And online trading sites are not that
costly. For example, a trader can trade shares on margin at rate as low as
0.10% on ICICIDirect.com and if one wishes to trade in cash, then rates
applicable as low as 0.4%. However it is important to compare various
online trading sites on brokerage rates, inclusive of all sub changes.
Independence:
Many of those customers, who have chosen to trade shares online
today, had at one point of time been trading through offline brokers. They
took a change to go online trading and trade shares. After realizing the
Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 20 -
“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.
advantages of trading shares online, they have shifted to online trading
now. In fact there are more than one lakh customers already opened an
account with ICICIDirect.com.
Updated Prices:
The tickers available at online trading sites provide instantaneous
updates. Also, some websites con offer to transact in those shares
instantaneously and with convenience. The solution to this problem could
be provided in different ways in different online trading sites.
At ICICIDirect.com, for any trade order, customer is asked to click
“Proceed” after he has the opportunity to completely check the order
verification form.
Moreover the customers have the option to modify or canceling the
order till the moment the order is executed at the exchange.
Finally the online trade confirmation reaches customer’s within 4
minutes. While contract notes are dispatched at the end of the day and
reach within 24 to 36 hours, with ICICIDirect.com customer can decide
what they want to buy and buy the share at price they want to and
therefore they are in total control of their trade.
Two Way Access:
Brokers too gain. In physical setup, they generally refrain from
taking and retain clients, as the cost of service as percentage of the
volume of their transactions tends to be at higher side. With a Net trading
platform, however, the number of profile of clients has little bearing a
broker’s operational efficiency.
Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 21 -
“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.
Competitive Brokerage:
Net trading has turned out to be a cost effective proposition.
Brokerage is similar to that under the physical setup – 0.25% to 0.35% up
to the transaction value for delivery-based trades and 0.05% to 0.15% for
speculative trades. The only additional cost for investors opting for the
Net trading route is that of the computer, modem and Internet connection.
Other Services:
Internet has brought to retail investors, what was till some times
ago the sole prerogative of large brokerage houses, high net worth
individuals. For example, at ICICIDirect.com one can access multitude of
resources to arrive his stock picks.
Reliable research with an enviable track record is available for
customers. An investor can now access ICICIDirect.com and do his
technical analysis to know what other leading brokers think about a
company, whether it is a buy or a sell.
An investor can access live news from international news agencies
such as Rulers, CNBC, read abut what the leading CEOs think about the
state of economy and capital market.

the online trading of securities and the investors in online trading in a
better way.

INTERPRETATION
Online traders in Bangalore still depend upon the “News Papers”
for their required information in the Online Trading. Being the cheapest
and readily available means of information, the news papers are more
favorite among them. The second favorite source of information is the
brokers themselves. The brokers give all the necessary information to the
online traders with the periodic updated information of those, followed by
T.V News, Family and Friends and Journal
In the century of Electronic Media, the Printed Media is still a
reliable and favorite source of information for online traders.

Surana PG Centre, Bangalore. - 54 -
“A STUDY ON ONLINE TRADING OF SHARES”.
INTERPRETATION
Analysis of chart pattern of sensitive indexes is concerned with
“Technical Analysis”. Since the technical analysis deals with the supply
and demand of securities as reflected in the behavior of the market, the
investors go for it. They are more concerned about the demand and
supply position of securities, as they influence the price of the securities.
Online traders thus do not distinguish between current income and capital
gains.

ANALYSIS The 21 % investors has preferred to analyze “Economic Growth” at
first as the “Most Important” factor followed by, 18 % called “Inflation”
as the “Very Important” factor, 16 % called “Interest Rates” as
“Important” factor, 20 % called “International in Capital Market” and
”Tax Rates” as the “Un Important” factor, and 29 % called “Foreign
Exchange Reserve” as the “Not at all Important” factor, before
investing in Online Trading of any Security. This can be clearly
understood by the following graphs.
INTERPRETATION
The Stock market does not operate in vacuum. It is an integrated
part of the whole economy of the country. The growth rate of the
Economy increases the participation in the “Online Trading of
Securities”. As inflation erodes the purchasing power of the investors,
they prefer to have a close watch on inflation rates before investing. A
low rate of interest is preferred by investors, since when cost of money is
high one cannot compete effectively.
The effect of monsoon is seemed to be less on the online traders. And the
foreign exchange reserve gets the lowest concern from investors, since
our country has enough of it, i.e., second highest in the world.

ANALYSIS Among the risks, 27.5 % investors ranked “Financial Risk” the
first, followed by 30 % ranked “Business Risk” as the second, 28. %
ranked “Purchasing Power Risk” as third, 32. % Ranked “Interest-rate
Risk” as fourth, 30 % ranked “Default/Insolvency Risk” as fifth, and
remaining 17.5 % ranked “Market Risk” as they prefer to cover for their
investments.
INTERPRETATION
The investors want to withdraw their funds as and when required
by them, to make specific payments at specific time periods. They thus
like to have a close watch on the debt financing of the firm they want to
invest. They don not want to invest on those firms which have uncertain
income sources. The purchasing power of the income from a given
investment is also having a great importance on their decision of
investment on a given firm. Uncertainty of future income due to
fluctuation in general level of interest-rate also concerns the investors.

ANALYSIS
Before investing in a given company, 23 online traders out of 50,
rank “Promoters” as the “Most Important” factor, followed by 23 online
traders who think “Management” of the company is “Very Important”
factor to analyze. Out of 50 investors 21 take “Product Range” of the
company as “Important” factor to analyze, and 10 think, as “Marketing”
is a “Un- Important” factor. None of the traders selected any of the above
factors as “Not At All Important” factor.
INTERPRETATION
The investors are well aware of any company before investing in it.
They know who are the promoters, the efficiency of the management of
the company, the types of technology it is adopting, its product range, its
marketing policies and practices, etc. Online traders give much
importance to the promoters of the company before investing into it. As it
can be seen in above table. Management of the company is also
considered as a very vital factor; as people like to invest in a company
with an efficient management. A company with a number of products in
its hand is also considered as a good one to invest in.
People less often go for evaluating the marketing strategies of the
company before investing into it, as well satisfied with other factors like
“Management”, “Promoters”, “Product Range” etc., they find it
unnecessary.

undergoes a life-cycle. An industry doing well today may be faced with
stagnation and decline in future.

in an industry which is growing or which has grown to its maturity. Thus
they seek benefit by investing in these two stages of life-cycle. A large
percentage of investors also like to invest in industries at “Pioneering
Stage”, showing their ability to take more risk in anticipation of more
return. A very small percentage of investors, 7 % goes for investing in
“Declining Stage”, in expect of unknown benefit they can extract with
sudden boom in the industry.

ANALYSIS Among 50 respondents, 48 %age of online trader prefer “Absolute
Monopoly”, followed by 34 % of them preferring “Perfect
Competition” and remaining 18 %age go for “Imperfect Competition”.
INTERPRETATION
Online traders prefer to invest in a company which is market
dominant by nature. As these companies dominate the market because of
their core competence like technology or patent rights etc. thus allowing
the investors to milk their investment. 35 % investors, who prefer to
invest in an industry where no single company is dominating, follow
them, thus they go for moderate risk involved investments with limited
growth of their money.
Still a percentage of investors, that is, 18 % of them, like to invest in
an industry with “Imperfect Competition”, since it lies between “Absolute
Monopoly” and “Perfect Competition”, thus enjoying benefits of both the
form of markets.

percentages are 18 %, 28 %, 34 %, 16 %, and 4 % respectively.
INTERPRETATION
Investors of online trading of securities like to hold their securities
for a minimum period. It can be seen by the fact that 80 (18+28+34) % of
the investors hold their securities for 6 or less than 6 months. But they
like to watch the movements of the market for a while before going for
selling their assets, as only 18 % of them hold their securities for 1 week
or less than 1 week.
But still investors are there who would like to hold the securities for
almost one year, and a negligible of them for more than one year. The fast
moving prices of securities and the updated information helps the online
traders to take quick and effective decision at right time.
