ABOUT TRADING INVESTORS:
Trading:
A trading is process in which someone who buys and sells Financial Instruments
such as stocks, bonds or derivatives. Traders are Professionals, casual investors
or speculators in financial instruments traded in the stock market, commodity
market and Derivative market, comprising of Stock Exchanges, derivative
Exchanges and commodity exchanges.
WHY TRADING IS DONE BY AN INVESTOR?
Investor can deal with the stock exchange securities either for a genuine trading
purpose or for the purpose of speculative trading. Genuine investors give/take
delivery of shares with no intention to postpone the settlement to the next period.
Their primary motive is to get long term gains. On the other hand Speculators do
not give/take delivery of shares. They deal in the difference of purchase and sale
prices. Their main intention is to carry forward the transactions and get short
term gains due to price differences.
ONLINE TRADING
The net is used as a medium of trading in internet trading. Orders are
communicated to the stock exchange through website. The SEBI committees on
internet based securities trading services has allowed the net to be used as an
Order Routing System (ORS) through registered stock brokers on behalf of their
clients for execution of transaction.
Under ORS the clients enters his requirements (security, quantity, price, buy/sell)
in the broker’s site. They are checked electronically against the clients account and
6
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 7/30
routed electronically to the appropriate exchange for execution of the broker4. The
client receives a confirmation on execution of the order. The customer’s portfolio
and ledger accounts get updated to reflect the transaction.
The user should have the user id and password to enter in the electronic ring. He
should also have a demat account and bank account. The system permits only a
registered client to log in using the user ID and password. Orders can be placed
using place orders window of the website.
Internet trading provides total transparency between the broker and an investor in
the secondary market. In the open outcry system, only the broker knew the
actually transacted price. Screen based trading provides more transparency. With
online trading investors can see themselves the price at which the deal takes place.
The time gap has narrowed at every stage of operation. Confirmation and
execution of trade reaches the investor within the least possible time, mostly
within 30 seconds.
The information technology has brought out revolutionary change in the
operations of stock exchanges across the globe. The traditional method of trading
was time consuming and inefficient. Further, it imposed limits on trading volumes
and efficiency. To overcome those defects and to provide efficient and transparent
services, the NSE has introduced the Nation wide On-line fully automated screen
based trading system (SBTS). Now, the other stock exchanges have been forced to
adopt SBTS and today India can feel proud on the fact that almost 100% take
place by electronic order matching.
7
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 8/30
Under SBTS a member can punch into computer a number of securities and prices
at which he would like to transact. It gets executed as soon as it finds the matching
sale/buy order from the counter party. Thus, technology has helped in carrying the
trading hall of exchanges to the premises of the brokers. NSE has carried thetrading the internet and the hand held devices through WAP for the convenience
of mobile investors.
Small Beginning:
Compared to the Western nation, online trading is still in infant stage in India.With trading turnover around Rs. 10 Crores per day from On-line trading
compared to the combined gross turnover of around Rs. 9000 to 10000 crores
handled by BSE and NSE together, ON-Line trading has a long way to go. With
some ten dotcom players, such as icicidirect.com, investmart, 5paisa.com,
Indiabulls, and a host of brokers such as kotaksteet, sharekhan, geojit securities
and dutt stock, entering the Online ring promises exciting times ahead.
History of online trading:
The birth of online trading came with the debut of the Internet. Prior to this,
everyone who traded placed their order through a broker who greatly influenced
their purchase decisions. As a matter of fact, only large businesses had access to
the web before 1979. Today, however, daily investments are made by individuals
through the Internet as online trading continues to remain one of society's most
popular ventures.
Online trading began in the 1900s with the advent of the Internet. Where traders
once had to physically call in their transactions, online trading opened a new
8
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 9/30
window of opportunity. Traders were able to place their transactions independent
of an external broker. Online brokerage firms became the new way to conduct
business. CompuServe came on the scene in 1969 as the first major online service
company. By the mid-1980s, it was considered a giant in its field.
Objectives of internet trading:
1. Increase transparency in markets
2. Enhance market quality through improved liquidity, by increasing quote
continuity and market depth
3. Reduce settlement risk due to open trades, due to mismatches.
4. Provide management information systems(MIS)
5. Introduce flexibility in system, to handle growing volumes easily and to
support nationwide expansion of market activity.
6. Beside through internet trading three fundamental objectives of SEBI can
easily be achieved these are: investor protection; creation of fair and
efficient market and reduction of systematic risks.
Two types of trading environments: merits & demerits
1. Traditionally stock trading is done through stock brokers, personally or
through telephones. As number of people trading in stock market increase
enormously in last few years, some issues like location constrains, busy
phone lines, miss communication etc start growing in stock broker offices.
Information technology (Stock Market Software) helps stock brokers in
solving these problems with Online Stock Trading.

Online Stock Market Trading is an internet based stock trading facility.
Investor can trade shares through a website without any manual
intervention from Stock Broker.
In this case these Online Stock Trading companies are stock broker for the
investor. They are registered with one or more Stock Exchanges. Mostly
Online Trading Websites in India trades in BSE and NSE.
There are two different type of trading environments available for online
equity trading.
1. Installable software based Stock Trading TerminalsThese trading environment requires software to be installed on
investors computer. This software is provided by the stock broker.
This software requires high speed internet connection. These kind of
trading terminals are used by high volume intra day equity traders.
Advantages:
Orders directly send to stock exchanges rather then stock
broker. This makes order execution very fast.
It provides almost each and every information which is
required to a trader on a single screen including stock market
charts, live data, alerts, stock market news etc.
Disadvantages:
Locations constrain - You cannot trade if you are not on the
computer where you have installed trading terminal software.
It requires high speed internet connection.
10

volume share traders.
2. Web (Internet) based trading application:

8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 17/30
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the
High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which
recommended promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions(FIs) to provide access to investors from all across the country on an equal footing.
Based on these recommendations, NSE was promoted by leading Financial
Institutions at the behest of the Government of India and was incorporated in
November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock exchanges in the
country.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation)
Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt
Market (WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment

do so to take care of the evolving needs.
THE 'BIG TWO' ARCHITECTURES
NSE and BSE, the 'big two' exchanges believe in updating and upgrading its
technology systems to keep delivering according to commitments and promisesmade to its members, partners, and customers.
NSE architecture - NEAT
17
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 18/30
NSE has deployed NIBIS (NSE's Internet Based Information System) for real-time
dissemination of trading information over the Internet and NEAT a client-server-
based application to help its operations.
NEAT stores all trading information in an in-memory database at the server end to
achieve minimum response time and maximum system availability for users. The
trading server software runs on a fault-tolerant STRATUS mainframe and the
client software runs on Windows PCs.
The telecommunications network uses the X.25 protocol and is the backbone of
the automated trading system. Each trading member trades on the NSE with other
members through a PC located in the trading member's office.
The trading members on the Wholesale Debt Market segment are linked to the
central computer at the NSE through dedicated 64 Kbps leased lines and VSAT
terminals. These leased lines are multiplexed using dedicated 2 MB optical-fiber
links. The WDM participants connect to the trading system through dial-up links.
The exchange uses RISC-based Unix servers from Digital and HP for backoffice
processing. Applications like Oracle 7 and SQL/Oracle Forms 4.5 front ends are
used for the exchange functions.
BSE architecture – BOLT
BSE has deployed an On-Line Trading system (BOLT) on March 14, 1995. It
works on a Tandem S74016 platform running on 16 CPUs. The Tandem Himalaya
S74016 machines act as the backend to more than 8000 Trader Workstations
networked on Ethernet, VSAT and Managed Leased Data Network (MLDN). The
systems claim to handle up to two million trades a day.
18
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 19/30
BOLT has a two-tier architecture. The trader workstations are connected directly
to the backend server which acts as a communication server and a Central Trading
Engine (CTE). Other services like information dissemination, index computation,
and position monitoring are also provided by the system. A transaction monitoringfacility in the Tandem architecture helps keep data integrity through non-stop
SQL.
With the help of MTNL, BSE has setup a MLDN Network comprising 300 2
Mbps lines and 1500 64 Kbps lines which connect all regional stock exchanges
and offices in Mumbai. Access to market related information through the trader
workstations is essential for the market participants to act on real-time basis and
take instantaneous decisions. BOLT has been interfaced with various information
vendors like Bloomberg, Bridge, and Reuters. Market information is fed to news
agencies in real time. The exchange plans to enhance the capabilities further to
have an integrated two-way information flow.

DEPOSITORY SYSTEM
CENTAL DEPOSITORY SERVICES (INDIA) LIMITED
A Depository facilitates holding of securities in the electronic form and enables
securities transactions to be processed by book entry by a Depository Participant
(DP), who as an agent of the depository, offers depository services to investors.
24
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 25/30
According to SEBI guidelines, financial institutions, banks, custodians,
stockbrokers, etc. are eligible to act as DPs. The investor who is known as
beneficial owner (BO) has to open a demat account through any DP for
dematerialization of his holdings and transferring securities.
The balances in the investors account recorded and maintained with CDSL can be
obtained through the DP. The DP is required to provide the investor, at regular
intervals, a statement of account which gives the details of the securities holdings
and transactions. The depository system has effectively eliminated paper-based
certificates which were prone to be fake, forged, counterfeit resulting in bad
deliveries. CDSL offers an efficient and instantaneous transfer of securities.
CDSL was promoted by Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (BSE) jointly with
leading banks such as State Bank of India, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda, HDFC
Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Union Bank of India and Centurion Bank.
CDSL was set up with the objective of providing convenient, dependable and
secure depository services at affordable cost to all market participants. Some of
the important milestones of CDSL system are:
CDSL received the certificate of commencement of business from SEBI in
February, 1999.
Honourable Union Finance Minister, Shri Yashwant Sinha flagged off the
operations of CDSL on July 15, 1999.
Settlement of trades in the demat mode through BOI Shareholding Limited, the
clearing house of BSE, started in July 1999
25

All leading stock exchanges like the National Stock Exchange, Calcutta Stock
Exchange, Delhi Stock Exchange, The Stock Exchange, Ahmedabad, etc have
established connectivity with CDSL
As at the end of Dec 2007, over 5000 issuers have admitted their securities
(equities, bonds, debentures, commercial papers), units of mutual funds, certificate
of deposits etc. into the CDSL system
NATIONAL SECURITIES DEPOSITRY LIMITED (NSDL)
NSDL is an organization promoted by the Industrial Development Bank of India,
the Unit Trust of India and the National Stock Exchange of India ltd., to provide
electronic depository facilities for securities traded in the equity and debt market.
The depositories’ ordinances promulgated by the Government of India in
September 1995 enabled the setting up of multiple depository system. SEBI issued
guidelines for depositories in May 1996. The bill was passed by the Parliament in
July 1996. NSDL was registered by SEBI on June 7, 1996.
THE FUNCTIONING
NSDL performs the following functions through its various participants
a. Enables surrender and withdrawal of securities to and from the
depository.
26
8/4/2019 Share Trading Online Project MBA...
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/share-trading-online-project-mba 27/30
b. Maintains investors holdings in electronic form
c. Effects settlement of securities traded on exchanges.
d. Carries out settlements of trader that have not been done on the stock
exchanges.
NSDL (DP) Depository Participant can be a public financial institution, bank,
custodian, registered stock broker or an NBFC subject to the approval of the
depository company and the SEBI. Brokers and NBFCs are required to have a
minimum net worth of Rs. 50 lakhs. DP has to pay a security deposit of Rs. 10
lakhs and an admission fee of Rs. 25000 to NSDL. The depository participants are
likely to pass these charges to the investors.
NSDL operates on two tier structures wherein it maintains accounts of its DP and
the DP maintain the accounts of their clients. With the help of continuous
electronic connectivity, reconciliation of all accounts is done on daily basis to
balance the number of stocks issued and dematerialized.
Initially, NSDL makes use of VSAT network of the NSE for communication as it
is easier for the DPs who have leased lines with NSE to join. After ascertaining its
requirement on the volume of trade, NSDL would set up its own network. At
present, NSE only has the clearing corporation, the National Securities Clearing
Corporation and it can participate in the functioning of NSDL. The SEBI has now
made it mandatory for all stock exchanges to have a clearing corporation. The
stock exchanges are setting up their own clearing corporation.
OBJECTIVE OF DEPOSITORY:
A depository helps the Capital Market to achieve the following objectives:
1. Reduce the time for transfer of securities
