primary data based project right since it conception.
Besides a minuscule number of statistics and research

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING
data which was found on research online, all the
inferences and conclusions have been made on the basis
of real time usage of networking websites by people
through extensive surveys and research done for users of
icicidirect.com and sharekhan.com.

the helm for many ship on the brink of capsizing, many
success story has been written on the pages of online
trading networking. A budding entrepreneur needs
networking more than anything else; his ship is then
assured of smooth sailing even in the rough seas.

ABOUT

TRADING & INVESTOR'S

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING

Trading
A trading is the process in which someone who buys and sells financial
instruments such as stocks, bonds and derivatives. Traders are professionals, casual
investors or speculators in financial instruments traded in the stock markets,
derivatives markets and commodity markets, comprising the stock exchanges,
derivatives exchanges and the commodities exchanges.

Why Investor's do Trading

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
Investors can deal with stock exchange securities either for a genuine trading
purpose or for the purpose of speculative trading. Genuine investors generally
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 take/give delivery of shares. They deal in differences in the
purchase and sale prices. Their main intention is to carry forward the transactions
and get short-term gains due to price differences.

DEMATERIALISATION & REMATERIALISATION

On Line Trading
The Information Technology has brought out revolutionary change in the
operations of stock exchanges in India. The traditional method trading without the
use of technology 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 a national-wide ON-LINE fully
automated Screen Based Trading System (SBTS). Now, other stock exchanges have
been forced to adopt SBTS and today India can boast that almost 100% trading take
place electronic order matching.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
Under SBTS, a member can punch into the computers quantities of securities
and the prices at which he likes to transact the transaction. It is executed as soon as it
finds a matching sale or buy order from a counter party. Thus, technology is used to
carry the trading hall of the exchanges to the premises of the brokers. NSE has
carried the trading the internet and the hand held devices through WAP for the
convenience of the mobile investors.

Small beginning
Compared to the Western countries, ON-LINE trading is still in its infancy in
India. With trading turnover at around Rs. 10 crores per day from ON-LINE trading
compared to a combined gross turnover of around Rs. 9000-10,000 crores handled
by the BSE and NSE together, ON-LINE trading has a long way to go. With some
ten dotcom players, such as icicidirect.com, investsmart, 5paisa.com, India bulls, and
a host of brokers, such as kotakstreet, sharekhan, motilaloswal, Geojit Securities and
duttstock, entering the ON-LINE ring promises exciting times ahead.

History of On Line Trading

ON-LINE stock trading is very old concept for big institutions who trade
thru private networks owned by Reuter's "Instinet" and a system called
"Posit" since 1969. But it becomes internet based for lay men only in late 90s.

Funny, that actually idea was first time used by a company making Beer
called "WIT beer" to help its shareholders trade its shares. That’s how "WIT
Capital" was born which is considered pioneer of this concept. It was made
mainstream and household name by a offshoot of Charles Schwab & Co called

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
eSchwab which is used by millions of people in USA. Lot of NRI's i know play
in US stock market even when they come to India for holidays via website
of eSchwabe.

There are other serious players like E*trade, DATEK ON-LINE etc. All this
companies ask you to start account with US $5000 and you can buy and sell
stock using these funds. They also issue you a check book which you can use
to make payments from this account. Or use their ATM card to withdraw cash
from your stock trading account.

Today practically every big name brokerage firm offers ON-LINE stock
trading as it reduces their costs. Earlier they had army of brokers on phone with
clients executing trade, which is done by computers accepting orders from
clients directly. This firm now offers human access to high net worth accounts, and
to rest at charge per trade.

Objectives of Internet trading:

 Increase transparency in the markets.

 Enhance market quality through improved liquidity, by increasing quote
continuity and market depth.
 Reduce settlement risks due to open trades, by elimination of mismatches.
 Provide management information system (MIS).
 Introduce flexibility in system, to handle growing volumes easily and to support
nationwide expansion of market activity.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
 Besides, through Internet trading three fundamental objectives of securities
regulation can be easily achieved, these are: Investor protection, creation of a fair
and efficient market and, reduction of the systematic risks.

Merit’s Of On-Line Trading

The Merit of On-line Trading are as follows:

 Faster Trading

Technology driven trading is faster than manual trading. Once the

order is matched, it is executed immediately.

 Accessible to All

It provides full anonymity by accepting order from members

irrespective of the size of the order – whether big or small without disclosing their
identity. Thus, it provides equal access to all.

 Faster Incorporation of Price Sensitive Information

The SBTS allows faster incorporation of price sensitive

information into the prevailing prices and thus, it increases the information
efficiency of the markets.

 Widening the Market

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
It also widen the market by enabling the market participants to trade
with one another simultaneously irrespective of their geographical locations.
Thus, it improves the depth and liquidity of the market.

 Saving of Time and Cost

The SBTS electronically matches order on strict price condition as well as on

time priority basis. Hence, it cuts down cost as well as time in executing orders.

 Fully Transparent

ON-LINE trading is fully automated and screen-based. Everything is

transparent on the screen and hence, there is no possibility to play any hide and
seek game.

 No Errors and Frauds

The price conditions, quantity conditions etc. are puched into the
computers by the members themselves. So, the risk of error is very less moreover,
the trading is fully automated and screen-based and hence frauds can not enter
into the system

 Perfect audit trail

It also provides perfects audit trail which helps to resolve disputes by

logging in the trade execution on entirety. Thus, on-line trading measures
efficiency, liquidity and transparency in the trading on stock exchanges.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING
Demerits of On-Line Trading (Website based):
 Website performance - sometime the website is too slow or not enough user
friendly.
 Little long learning curve especially for people who doesn't know much about
computer and internet.
 Brokerages are little high.

Dematerialisation:
Dematerialisation is the process by which a client can get physical
certificates converted into electronic balances maintained in its account with the DP.
Features:

 Holdings in only those securities that are admitted for dematerialisation by NSDL
can be dematerialised.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
 Structure of holding in the securities should match with the account structure of

the depository account

If the shares are in the name of X and Y it cannot be dematerialised in to the
account of either X or Y alone. Further, if the shares are in the name of X first and
Y second and the account is in the name of Y first and X second, then these shares
cannot be dematerialized in this account. The dematerialisation process can be
initiated only by X first and Y second and for this a depository account will have
to be opened in the name of X first and Y second.
 Only those holdings that are registered in the name of the account holder can be
dematerialised.

Rematerialisation:
Rematerialisation is the process by which a client can get his electronic
holdings converted into physical certificates. The client has to submit the
rematerialisation request to the DP with whom he has an account. The DP enters the
request in its system which blocks the client's holdings to that extent automatically.
The DP releases the request to NSDL and sends the request form to the Issuer/ R&T
agent. The Issuer/ R&T agent then prints the certificates, despatches the same to the

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING
client and simultaneously electronically confirms the acceptance of the request to
NSDL. Thereafter, the client's blocked balances are debited.

Features:

 A client can rematerialise his dematerialised holdings at any point of time.

 The rematerialisation process is completed within 30 days.

 The securities sent for rematerialisation cannot be traded.

PLACE WERE TRADING IS DONE

THE 'BIG TWO' ARCHITECTURES

WHO CAN INVEST IN INDIAN STOCK EXCHANGE

WERE DOES TRADING DONE:

Trading basically done in Stock Exchange. There 22 stock exchanges in
India which are situated in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Chennai, Delhi etc.
There are two major Stock Exchange functioning in India there are as follows:

1. Bombay Stock Exchange in India.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING

Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (the Exchange) is the oldest stock

exchange in Asia with a rich heritage. Popularly known as "BSE", it was established
as "The Native Share & Stock Brokers Association" in 1875. It is the first stock
exchange in the country to obtain permanent recognition in 1956 from the
Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956.The
Exchange's pivotal and pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital
market is widely recognized and its index, SENSEX, is tracked worldwide. Earlier
an Association of Persons (AOP), the Exchange is now a demutualised and
corporatised entity incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956,
pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation and Demutualisation) Scheme, 2005 notified
by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).Bombay Stock Exchange
Limited received its Certificate of Incorporation on 8th August, 2005 and Certificate
of Commencement of Business on 12th August, 2005. The 'Due Date' for taking over
the business and operations of the BSE, by the Exchange was fixed for 19th August,
2005, under the Scheme. The Exchange has succeeded the business and operations of
BSE on going concern basis and its recognition as an Exchange has been continued
by SEBI.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING
With demutualisation, the trading rights and ownership rights have been
de-linked effectively addressing concerns regarding perceived and real conflicts of
interest. The Exchange is professionally managed under the overall direction of the
Board of Directors. The Board comprises eminent professionals, representatives of
Trading Members and the Managing Director of the Exchange. The Board is
inclusive and is designed to benefit from the participation of market intermediaries.

In terms of organisation structure, the Board formulates larger policy

issues and exercises over-all control. The committees constituted by the Board are
broad-based. The day-to-day operations of the Exchange are managed by the
Managing Director & CEO and a management team of professionals.

The Exchange has a nation-wide reach with a presence in 417 cities and
towns of India. The systems and processes of the Exchange are designed to
safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in operations. During the year
2004-2005, the trading volumes on the Exchange showed robust growth.

The Exchange provides an efficient and transparent market for trading

in equity, debt instruments and derivatives. The BSE's On Line Trading System
(BOLT) is a proprietory system of the Exchange and is BS 7799-2-2002 certified.
The surveillance and clearing & settlement functions of the Exchange are ISO
9001:2000 certified.

2. National Stock Exchange in India.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is India's leading stock exchange

covering various cities and towns across the country. NSE was set up by leading
institutions to provide a modern, fully automated screen-based trading system with
national reach. The Exchange has brought about unparalleled transparency, speed &
efficiency, safety and market integrity. It has set up facilities that serve as a model
for the securities industry in terms of systems, practices and procedures.

NSE has played a catalytic role in reforming the Indian securities market
in terms of microstructure, market practices and trading volumes. The market today
uses state-of-art information technology to provide an efficient and transparent
trading, clearing and settlement mechanism, and has witnessed several innovations in
products & services viz. demutualisation of stock exchange governance, screen
based trading, compression of settlement cycles, dematerialisation and electronic
transfer of securities, securities lending and borrowing, professionalisation of trading
members, fine-tuned risk management systems, emergence of clearing corporations
to assume counterparty risks, market of debt and derivative instruments and intensive
use of information technology.

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 promises
made to its members, partners, and customers.

NSE architecture – NEAT

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.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
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.

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
monitoring facility 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.

WHO CAN INVEST IN INDIAN STOCK EXCHANGE

As you might know, most investors in any stock market in the world can be
divided into two broad groups- Individual investors and Institutional investors .
*Individual investor* means an investor like you and me who is investing own
money.
On the other hand, an *institutional investor* is a mutual fund, pension fund or a
company like Microsoft who is investing others' money (I mean clients' money or
shareholders' money).

Another dimension for looking at investors is- Foreign or Domestic. So an

Individual Investor can be placed in one of the two groups: Resident or the Non-
Resident. Citizen or non-citizen Similarly an institutional investor can be domestic or
foreign.

So broadly speaking, there are 4 different types of market participants when

it comes to investing in any country or stock market. Countries like the USA have
free markets and few investing/ trading restrictions but most emerging countries
have different rules and restrictions for different entities. So let us take a look at
investing implications for these four groups in India.

1. Resident Indian Individuals: They can, directly or thro stock market,

invest/trade in India without much restrictions. So if you are a citizen of
India who lives in India, there are no restrictions on you to invest/trade in
Indian stocks. (SEBI and NSE/BSE's regulations like Insider trading in India
still apply to you like any other market participant in India.)

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
2. Domestic Institutions: Subject to the Articles of Association and MoA of the
charter and subject to SEBI's rules and regulations, a domestic company
(including mutual funds, financial institutions) can also freely invest, directly
or through stock market, in Indian securities.
3. People who are not resident of India. Let us divide them in two subgroups
1. Nonresident Indians (NRIs) and institutions controlled by them:
Subject to certain special provisions, more or less, NRIs can also,
directly or thro Indian stock exchanges, invest/trade in Indian stocks.
(Remember to read this whole article for details about how an NRI can
buy and sell stocks bonds real estate in India.)
2. Foreign *Individual* Investors: Sorry, if you are a citizen of any
other country (other than Nepal, Bhutan, Pakistan) and if you, or your
parent or grandparents, had no ties with India at any time, currently you
can **not** invest directly or through Indian Stock Exchanges in India.
However there are some indirect ways for you to invest in India. Two
most prominent ways are through ADRs (American Depository
Receipts) issued by Indian companies in foreign markets or through
mutual funds floated by foreign or domestic Institutional Investors.
(Remember to read toward end of this page for details about how you
can invest in India stocks and securities.)
3. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs): Subject to certain
regulations by India's central bank, Reserve Bank of India, and India's
security markets watchdog, SEC like entity- Securities and Exchange
Board of India (SEBI), foreign institutions investors can invest/trade
almost in any Indian securities

Geojit

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
Geojit is another well known name. Like sharekhan, they also have
countrywide branches and offices overseas. From their website: "Mr. C.J. George
and Mr. Ranajit Kanjilal founded Geojit as a partnership firm in the year 1987."

They also have major operations in the United Arab Emirates. " Barjeel
Geojit Securities, LLC, Dubai, is a joint venture of Geojit with Al Saud Group

DEPOSITARY SYSTEM
A depository is an organisation which holds securities of investors in
electronic form at the request of the investors through a registered Depository
Participant. It also provides services related to transactions in securities.

It can be compared with a bank, which holds the funds for depositors. A
Bank – Depository Analogy is given in the following table:

At present two Depositories viz. National Securities Depository Limited

(NSDL) and Central Depository Services (I) Limited (CDSL) are registered with
SEBI.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
NSDL
Although India had a vibrant capital market which is more than a century old,
the paper-based settlement of trades caused substantial problems like bad delivery
and delayed transfer of title till recently. The enactment of Depositories Act in
August 1996 paved the way for establishment of NSDL, the first depository in India.
This depository promoted by institutions of national stature responsible for economic
development of the country has since established a national infrastructure of
international standards that handles most of the securities held and settled in
dematerialised form in the Indian capital market.

Using innovative and flexible technology systems, NSDL works to support the
investors and brokers in the capital market of the country. NSDL aims at ensuring
the safety and soundness of Indian marketplaces by developing settlement solutions
that increase efficiency, minimise risk and reduce costs. At NSDL, we play a quiet
but central role in developing products and services that will continue to nurture the
growing needs of the financial services industry.

In the depository system, securities are held in depository accounts, which is

more or less similar to holding funds in bank accounts. Transfer of ownership of
securities is done through simple account transfers. This method does away with all
the risks and hassles normally associated with paperwork. Consequently, the cost of
transacting in a depository environment is considerably lower as compared to
transacting in certificates.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

ON-LINE TRADING
CSDL
The CDSL has been set up by Bombay Stock Exchange and co-sponsored by
SBI, Bank of India, Bank of Baroda and HDFC Bank. It commenced its operation on
March 22, 1999.

Upto March 2000, 680 companies made available their shares for demat. The
market value of dematerialised securities amounted to Rs. 8,188 crore. The number
of beneficial owners stood at 28,545.

Objectives of Depository
A depository enables the capital market to achieve the following objectives:

1. Reduce the time for transfer of securities.

2. Avoid the risk of settlement of securities.

3. Enhance liquidity and efficiency.

4. Reduce cost of transaction for the investor.

5. Create a system for the central handling of all secuirites.

6. Promote the county's competitiveness by complying with global standards.

7. Provide service infrastructure in a capital market.

CASE STUDY: SHAREKHAN

The company

Sharekhan, a sister concern of SSKI Investor Services Pvt. Ltd is a retail securities
and equities solutions provider.
The need

The company was growing its business at a fast pace and needed to have systems
that could support a large and growing user base in an efficient and reliable manner.
A moment's downtime will result in large financial losses and loss of faith among
customers, both critically bad for business.
The solution

The company deployed BEA's WebLogic solutions and ran its trading and risk
management functions on this platform.
The benefits

The platform has the business logic to interface with the various technology aspects,
and provides encrypted transactions. The various components of Web trade like bank
interfaces, depository participants, and broker accounts have been integrated into a
single scalable entity. This helps optimize the architecture and provide scalability.

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
And the transaction volume has increased by around four times over a period of six
months, without the addition of any hardware, and with minimum performance
issues.

CASE STUDY: NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE OF

INDIA LTD.

NSE data center manager has trouble-free days and nights with StorageTek®
solutions.
Business issues at NSE

As the Indian economy grew, data at the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE)
was also growing at an increasing rate. Given the nature of the business, data
protection and high availability of the data are crucial. Downtime is unacceptable.
Coping with the growth of data backup needs and a shrinking backup window was
fast becoming a nightmare. To further complicate matters, NSE was faced with the
challenge of online backup of their Oracle databases. The existing backup process
involved 400 gigabytes of data to be backed up daily and 900 gigabytes for the
weekend, over multiple servers and across different platforms such as HP, NT and
Sun. This involved various types of backup media as well as a large number of
cartridges. Heavy manual intervention was required as the jobs were manually
queued and cartridges manually mounted. Additionally, intensive supervision was
required to ensure that the entire backup process was executed in a disciplined and
consistent manner. As a result, backup was a tedious and laborious process requiring

THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE

 ON-LINE TRADING
logs to be maintained. The data center needed additional personnel to cope with the
demands.

The solution

To meet the backup requirements of NSE, a StorageTek® distributor, CMS

Computers Ltd., proposed and implemented a SAN-based LanFree Backup solution
comprised of a StorageTek L700 tape library (400 slots) with four DLT drives,
Brocade switches and Fibre Channel bridges, and backup software from VERITAS
and BMC. To implement the solution, NSE’s servers were connected to the Brocade
switches using Fibre Channel. The tape drives were then connected to the Brocade
switches via bridges to implement a heterogeneous SAN comprising HP, NT and
Alpha servers. VERITAS NetBackup Data Centerwas installed on the servers.

Business benefits

Today, NSE boasts of being the only stock exchange in India with a live disaster
recovery site. With a more efficient and reliable backup process, NSE is assured of
meeting the demands for high availability and business continuity, even with
growing data needs and shrinking backup windows.

Financial benefits

The solution reduced the number of cartridges used daily. More importantly, by
automating all its manual tasks, NSE has saved more than 50 percent of the hours
previously required in the backup process. NSE can now ensure higher productivity
and re-deploy its personnel for more efficient utilization while ensuring that backup
activity is carried out in a consistent, disciplined and reliable manner.

Technology benefits
THAKUR COLLEGE OF SCIENCE AND COMMERCE
 ON-LINE TRADING

With SAN-based direct-connect technology and the use of automated tape backup,
NSE enjoys better throughput and more reliable backup avoiding issues such as LAN
network bandwidth bottlenecks and collision of data packets. NSE is able to
maintain a respectable backup window and restoration is systematic and fast. Guided
recovery for Oracle databases was also put in place. This solution allows the pooling
of tape drives to be shared among the multiple connected servers, across
heterogeneous platforms, and eliminates the need to back up servers individually.
NSE is able to seamlessly and efficiently manage its backup process and storage
devices from a single management console. The solution also provides the scalability
to increase storage capacity as NSE’s requirements grow.

software company in India had ever tried developing software for automated trading.

The BOLT system became operational in 1995. On March 14, 1995, 818 scrips were
transferred to the screen-based trading system. It is one of the few stock trading

system in the world that handles hybrid / mixed modes of trading; both order-driven
and quote-driven. It supports the normal segment, the auction segment, the odd-lot
segment and continuous net settlement. There are now more than 6000 BSE trading

The main achievements of the BOLT system are:

 An average response time of less than two seconds

 On an average, 3.4 million market queries are handled daily
 The system can support more than 10,000 users

BOLT implementation and maintenance is one of the major successes of CMC. A

group of about 50 engineers continue to work for the maintenance and enhancement
