exchange called as ‘client member agreement’
3. Order Placing
The client places the order in writing with the broker for purchase or
selling of certain number of scrips at a certain specified price.
4. Order Confirmation
After collecting the order from the client, the broker places the order in
his computer system, which is in turn transmitted to the computer
system of the exchange. The order confirmation slip is obtained by the
broker from the exchange.
5. Trade Confirmation
A trade confirmation slip is generated as soon as the order is matched by
the computer against the price generated by the matching algorithm
(price-time-priority) The trade confirmation slip gives details of the
trade executed. The client makes payment of necessary margin money to
the broker.

24. 6. Contract Note
The broker issues the contract note to the client in respect of all the orders
that are executed during the day. Such a note spells out the obligations of
the parties concerned (Buyer, seller and the broker)
7. Settlement
The process of fulfillment of the obligations of the trade by the parties to
the transaction/contract is known as settlement. Approved contracts by the
stock exchange are to be settled on the date of expiration based on;
 Settlement of ready delivery contracts or liquidation in full – the contract should
be settled within 3 to 7 days followed by actual expiration date with mere
delivery.
 Settlement of forward delivery contacts – it is for speculative purpose only and it
is done on the basis of;
Liquidation in full
Liquidation by payment of differences in prices
Carryover to the next settlement (carry forward system/ badla system)
• Carry forward system- when buyer of the contract does not willing to buy
the underlying asset at that time, settlement will be carry forward to the
next future date and in consideration with an amount payable by buyer of
the contract to the seller is said to be badla amount or cantago charge.

25. Settlement may be takes place in;
1. Electronic Settlement Mode: Here stock exchange allowed to settle
the contract on the basis of electronic system. The procedure for
purchasing dematerialized securities is as follows;
 Investor/client instructs/approaches his DP to receive for credit into
his account in the prescribed form
 Investor purchases securities in any of the SE linked with a DP
through a broker
 Broker receives payment from the investor and arranges for payment
to the clearing house
 Broker receives credit of securities in his clearing account on the day
of pay-out
 Broker gives instruction to DP to debit clearing account and credit
clients account with shares
 Investor receives shares into his account by way of book entry

26. The procedure for selling dematerialized securities is as follows;
 Investor can sell his held securities in any of the SE linked with
DP through a broker
 Investor instructs/approaches his DP to debit his demat account
with number of securities sold and credit the broker’s clearing
account
 Before the pay-in day, broker of the investor transfers the
securities to the clearing corporation
 The broker receives payment from the SE through clearing
corporation
 Investor receives the payment from his broker for the sale of his
securities electronically.

27. 2. Rolling Settlement:
 In January 1998, SEBI introduced Rolling Settlement system on a voluntary
basis in SE for securities which are eligible for dematerialized trading and
settlement.
 Compulsory rolling settlement system was introduced initially for 10 scrips in
January 2000 and then increased to 163 scrips by May 2000, and 414 scrips
in 02nd July 2001. (abolished Badla system)
 It was introduced in the form of T+5 settlement system where T=Trading day
and 5 days are additionally trading days following actual trading day.
 W.e.f. 02nd January 2002, all scrips have been brought under compulsory
rolling settlement system
 In 01st April 2003, previously there was T+2 system, further moved to T+1
system and which is presently practicable.
Advantages of Rolling settlement system are;
 Eliminates scope for speculation and arbitrage
 Simple to understand compared with badla system

29. Systems of Stock Trading
All the SE in the world uses one of the following systems;
1. Auction trading system
 This is an order-driven or custom-driven system where customers’ buy and
sell orders are matched at a central place
 Allows the buyer and the seller to find a mutually agreeable price, with no
intervention from the brokers-dealers
 The buy and sell orders are automatically matched and in case of any
imbalances, the specialists who fills that gap (specialists- market makers
acting as brokers on acceptance of orders, maintain prices for investors bids
and maintain fair and orderly market for securities)
 It provides better price, growth of markets for investors; similarly results in
high volatility
 NYSE and all the SEs in India except BSE are adopting this system

30. 2. Dealer Trading System
 Quote-driven or dealer-driven trading system where dealers compete to give
the customers the best price
 Trading takes place through an electronic media with the help of well-
networked computer system.
 The market makers(creating and maintaining a market for securities) quote
both ‘bid and ask’ prices for the two sides of the market both buy and sell
continuously.
 NASDAQ
3. Hybrid trading
 Is an auction type of trading with bids and offers being made by open out-cry
and at the same time it is a quote-driven system too
 BSE opted and currently practicing this system
4. Margin Trading
 Here an investor is allowed to buy securities on credit by making a deposit of
a certain amount in the concerned SE.
 Much in vogue in USA

31. Listing of Securities
 It refers to the steps that are required to register and to place on record the
securities of a corporate entity with the appropriate authority(SE).
 In simple words, inclusion of any security for the purpose of trading in a
recognized stock exchange.
 Securities are required to be listed under section 9 of SCRA of 1956,
Characteristics

• Restriction- A corporate entity is free to have its securities listed in
any number of stock exchanges, but its should be regional SEs.

35. Stock Market Index
 Is a barometer of market behaviour
 Reflects market direction and indicates day-to-day fluctuations
in stock prices
 Reflects expectations about the behaviour of the economy as a
whole
 It is a precursor (forerunners) of economic cycles
 Provides informations about average share prices in the market
 Represents the return obtained by a typical portfolio investing in
the market
 The index on a day is calculated as the percentage of the
aggregate market value of the set of scrips combined in the
index on that day to the average market value of the same scrips
during the base period.

36. Methodologies for calculating the index
1. Market Capitalization Weighted
• Full Market Capitalization Method- Number of shares outstanding multiplied
by the market price of company’s share determines the scrip’s weighted in the
index. The share with the highest market capitalization would have a higher
weighted and would be most influential in this type of index. Example; S&P 500
Index in USA, S&P CNX Nifty in India.
• Free-float Market Capitalization Method- Free-float is the percentage of
shares that are freely available for purchase in the markets(excluding strategic
investments in a company; government held securities, controlled by
shareholders and their families, company’s management, shares locked under
ESOP). Here, weight of a scrip is based on the free-float market capitalization
which reflects the investible market capitalization may be much less than the
total.. For ex. If the free-float of a company is 15percent, and the other 85% are
publicly held, the float factor will be 0.85, by which the company's market
capitalization will be multiplied before weighting its value against the rest of the
index. In other words, the number of shares used for calculation is the number of
shares "floating", rather than outstanding. Financial Time Stock
Exchange(FTSE)-LSE, S&P Indices(NYSE, NASDAQ), Dow Jones Industrial
Average indices, BSE-TECK Index, SENSEX are the examples.

37. • Modified Capitalization Weighted Method– It seeks to limit the
influence of the largest stocks in the index which otherwise would
dominate the entire index. This method sets a limit on the
percentage weight of the largest stock or a group of stocks. The
NASDAQ-100 Index is the example for this.
2. Price Weighted Average Method- In this method, the price of
each stock in the index is summed up which is then equated to an
index starting value. An arbitrary date is set as the base and the
Laspeyre’s Price Index which measures price changes against a
fixed base period quantity weight is used. Examples are, The Dow
Jones Industrial Average Index, Nikkie 225.
3. Equal Weighing Method- An equally weighted index weights
each stock equally regardless of its market capitalization or
economic size (sales, earnings, book value). Due to daily price
movements of the stocks within the index, the portfolio must be
constantly re-balanced to keep the positions in each stock equal to
each other. The value line index at Kansas City Board of Trade is
an example.

39. Factors influencing Prices on Stock Exchange
• Financial position of the company
• Demand and supply factors
• Role of financial institutions
• Lending rate/Bank rate
• Speculation activities
• Trade cycle/Economic cycles
• Government control
• Market players
• Weather conditions(agricultural)
• Corporate activism(mergers, acquisition)
• Conditions of BOP
• The price level changes
• General market sentiments

40. Screen Based Trading System
• Screen based trading system is one of the major development of
secondary market, where computer screen replaces traditional trading
ring and distant participants can trade with each other through
computer networks. A central computer of stock exchange is
connected through very small operational terminals and the personal
computers of the brokers are connected through main computer. When
the investor places an order through their personal computers and
these personal computers send a signal to VSAT (in the form of
waves). If the order gets matched , a message may be broadcasted or
disseminated on computer or otherwise it will have to wait till it is
matched. This system provides transparency in trading.
• Advantages:
 Provides full information about market
 Enable investors all over the country to trade each other
 Avoids need of people to assemble on the floor of SE
 Greater transparency and confidence

effect from July 15th, 1999. Under this system alerts are generated by system
on-line, in real time, based on certain preset parameters like the price and
volume variations in scrips, members taking unduly large positions not
commensurate with their financial position or having concentrated positions
in one or few scrips. This system includes databases such as company profile,
member’s profile, and historical database of turnover and price movements in
scrips, members’ turnover, their pay-in obligations etc.
