HISTORY OF THE STOCK BROKING INDUSTRY
Indian Stock Markets are one of the oldest in Asia. Its history dates back to
nearly 200 years ago.
In 1887, they formally established in Bombay, the "Native Share and Stock
Brokers' Association" (which is alternatively known as "The Stock Exchange"). In
1895, the Stock Exchange acquired a premise in the same street and it was
inaugurated in 1899. Thus, the Stock Exchange at Bombay was consolidated.
Thus in the same way, gradually with the passage of time number of exchanges
were increased and at currently it reached to the figure of 24 stock exchanges.

STOCK MARKET BASIC
Stock market without the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). This transition from a privately held corporation to a publicly traded one is
Called going public, and this first sale of stock to the public is called an initial
public offering, or IPO.
10
Why do people invest in the stock market?
When you buy stock in a corporation, you own part of that company. This gives
you a vote at annual shareholder meetings, and a right to a share of future profits.
When a company pays out profits to the shareholder, the money received is called
a "Dividend".
The corporation's board of directors choose when to declare a dividend and how
much to pay. Most older and larger companies pay a regular dividend, most newer
and smaller companies do not.
The average investor buys stock hoping that the stock's price will rise, so the
shares can be sold at a profit. This will happen if more investors want to buy stock
in a company than wish to sell. The potential of a small dividend check is of little
concern.
A company who is a leader in a hot industry will usually see its share price rise
dramatically.
Investors take the risk of the price falling because they hope to make more money
in the market than they can with safe investments such as bank CD's or government
bonds.
11
What is a stock market index?
In the stock market world, you need a way to compare the movement of the
market, up and down, from day to day, and from year to year. An index is just a
benchmark or yardstick expressed as a number that makes it possible to do this
comparison. For e.g. S&P CNX Nifty is the index of NSE and SENSEX is the index
of BSE.
The price per share, like the market cap, has nothing to do with how big a
company is.
The Securities Market consists of two segments, viz. Primary market and
Secondary market. Primary market is the place where issuers create and issue
equity, debt or hybrid instruments for subscription by the public; the Secondary
market enables the holders of securities to trade them.
12
Exchanges established in different centers, there are exchanges like the
National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Over the Counter Exchange of India
(OTCEI), who provide nation wide trading facilities with terminals all over the
country. The trading platform of stock exchanges is accessible only through
brokers and trading of securities is confined only to stock exchanges.
Corporate Securities:
Derivatives Market:
Derivatives trading commenced in India in June 2000. The total exchange traded
derivatives witnessed a volume of Rs. 442,343 crore during 2002-03 as against Rs.
4018 crore during the preceding year. While NSE accounted for about 99.5% of
total turnover, BSE accounted for about 0.5% in 2002-03. The market witnessed
higher volumes from June 2001 with introduction of index options, and still higher
volumes with introduction of stock options in July 2001. There was a spurt in
volumes in November 2001 when stock futures were introduced. It is believed
that India is the largest market in the world for stock futures.
13
Supply and Demand
A stock's price movement up and down until the end of the trading day is strictly
a result of supply and demand. The SUPPLY is the number of shares offered
for sale at anyone one moment. The DEMAND is the number of shares
investors wish to buy at exactly that same time. What a share of a company is
worth on anyone day or at any one minute, is determined by all investors voting
with their money. If investors want a stock and are willing to pay more, the price
will go up. If investors are selling a stock and there aren't enough buyers, the
price will go down Period.
The Central Government has notified SEBI (Stock Brokers & Sub-Brokers) Rules,
1992 in exercise of the powers conferred by section 29 of SEBI Act, 1992. These
rules came into effect on 20th August, 1992.
14
Trading Through Brokers / Traditional Method of Share
Trading:-
Trading in the stock exchange can be conducted only through member broker in
securities that are listed on the respective exchange. Investor intending to
buy/sell securities in the exchange has to do so only through a SEBI registered
broker/sub-broker. This is very popular concept in India for Share Trading before
the facilities like on line trading introduce.
Both the exchange have switched over from the open outcry trading system to
fully automated computerized mode of trading knows as Bolt and Neat. In this
system, the broker trade with each other through the computer network. Buyers
and sellers place their orders specifying the limits for quality and price. Those
that are not matched remain on the screen and is opened for future matching
during the day / settlement. After the advent of computerized trading the speed of
trading has increased multi-fold and a fuller view of the market is available to the
investors.
To start dealing with broker you have to fill a form with the broker. After fill all the
formalities the firm gives you a User Id no like a bank a/c no. through which you
can enter in the transaction with broker. Broker will gives all the which one
investor needed.
15
What is stock Broker?
“A stock broker is one who invests other people’s money until it’s all
gone.”
A stock broker is a person or a firm that trades on its clients behalf, you tell
them what you want to invest in and they will issue the buy or sell order. Some
stock brokers also give out financial advice that you a charged for.
It wasn’t too long ago and investing was very expensive because you had to go
through a full service broker which would give you advice on what to do and
would charge you a hefty fee for it.
There are three different types of stock brokers.
2. Discount Broker – A discount broker let’s you buy and sell stocks at a low
rate but doesn’t provide any investment advice.
3. Direct-Access Broker- A direct access broker lets you trade directly with
the electronic communication networks (ECN’s) so you can trade faster.
Active traders such as day traders tend to use Direct Access Brokers

a separate association by the name "Bombay Cotton Exchange Ltd." was
constituted. A future trading in oilseeds was organized in India for the first time
with the setting up of Gujarati Vyapari Mandali in 1900, which carried on futures
trading in groundnut, castor seed and cotton. Before the Second World War
broke out in 1939 several futures markets in oilseeds were functioning in Gujarat
and Punjab.
There were booming activities in this market and at one time as many as 110
exchanges were conducting forward trade in various commodities in the country.
The securities market was a poor cousin of this market as there were not many
papers to be traded at that time.
The era of widespread shortages in many essential commodities resulting in
inflationary pressures and the tilt towards socialist policy, in which the role of
market forces for resource allocation got diminished, saw the decline of this
market since the mid-1960s.
35
Derivative
The emergence of the market for derivative products, most notably forwards, futures
and options, can be traced back to the willingness of risk-averse economic agents to
guard themselves against uncertainties arising out of fluctuations in asset prices. By
their very nature, the financial markets are marked by a very high degree of volatility.
Through the use of derivative products, it is possible to partially or fully transfer
price risks by locking-in asset prices. As instruments of risk management,
these generally do not influence the fluctuations in the underlying asset prices.
However, by locking-in asset prices, derivative products minimize the impact of
fluctuations in asset prices on the profitability and cash flow situation of risk-averse
investors.

THEORETICAL ASPECT
41
INTRODUCTION:
For example: - the value of any asset, say share of any company, at a
future date depends upon the share’s current price. Here, the share is
underlying asset, the current price of the share is the bases and the future value
of the share is the derivative. Similarly, the future rate of the foreign exchange
depends upon its spot rate of exchange. In this case, the future exchange rate is
the derivative and the spot exchange rate is the base.
42
Derivatives are contract for future delivery of assets at price agreed at the
time of the contract. The quantity and quality of the asset is specified in the
contract. The buyer of the asset will make the cash payment at the time of
delivery.
Meaning:
Derivatives are the financial contracts whose value/price is dependent on
the behavior of the price of one or more basic underlying assets (often simply
known as the underlying). These contracts are legally binding agreements,
made on the trading screen of stock exchanges, to buy or sell an asset in future.
The asset can be a share, index, interest rate, bond, rupee dollar exchange rate,
sugar, crude oil, soybean, cotton, coffee etc.

NTSD TSD
In financial terms derivatives is a broad term for any instrumental whose value is
derived from the value of one more underlying assets such as commodities,
forex, precious metal, bonds, loans, stocks, stock indices, etc.
Derivatives were developed primarily to manage offset, or hedge against
risk but some were developed primarily to provide potential for high returns. In
the context of equity markets, derivatives permit corporations and institutional
The history of the derivatives dates back to the time since the trading
came into being. The merchants entered into contracts with one another for
future delivery of specified amount of commodities at specified price. A primary
44
intention for contracting for future date was to keep the transaction immune to
unexpected fluctuations in price.
In the class of equity derivatives the world over, futures and options on stock
indices have gained more popularity than on individual stocks, especially among
institutional investors, who are major users of index-linked derivatives.
Even small investors find these useful due to high correlation of the
popular indexes with various portfolios and ease of use.
1848
A group of Chicago businessmen formed the Chicago Board of Trade
(CBOT). The primary intention of the CBOT was to provide a centralized location
known in advance for buyers and sellers to negotiate forward contracts.
1865
45
The CBOT went one-step further and listed the first “exchange traded”
derivatives contract in the US; these contracts were called “future contracts”
1919
Chicago Butter and Egg & board, a spin-off of CBOT, was reorganized to
allow futures trading. Its name was changed to Chicago Mercantile Exchange
(CME).
The CBOT and the CME remain the two largest organized futures
exchanges, indeed the two largest “financial” exchanges of any kind in the world
today.
The first stock index futures contract was traded at Kansas City Board of
Trade. Currently the most popular stock index futures contract in the world was
based on S&P 500 index, traded on Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
During the mid eighties, financial futures became the most active
derivatives instruments generating volumes many times more than the
46
Mumbai, soybean futures trade in Bhopal, pepper futures in Kochi, coffee in
Bangalore, etc.
JUNE 2000
National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange started trading in
futures on Sensex and Nifty. Options trading on Sensex and
Nifty commenced in June 2001. Very soon thereafter trading began on options
and futures in 31 prominent stocks in the month of July and November
respectively.
Option and future are the most commonly traded derivatives, but as the
understanding of financial markets and risked management continued to
improve newer derivatives were created. The family includes the host of other
product such as forward contracts. Structured notes, inverse floaters, caps &
Floors and Collar Swaps.
The largest derivatives market in the world, are on government bonds (to
help control interest rate risk) the stock index (to help control risk that is
associated with the fluctuations in the stock market) and on exchange rates (to
cope with currency risk).
47
Risk Associated With Derivatives:
derivatives trading are neither new nor unique – they are the same kind of
risks associated with traditional bond or equity instruments.
Market Risk
Derivatives exhibit price sensitivity to change in market condition, such as
fluctuation in interest rates or currency exchange rates. The market risk of
leveraged derivatives may be considerable, depending on the degree of
leverage and the nature of the security.
Liquidity Risk
48
Most derivatives are customized instrument and could exhibit substantial
liquidity risk implying they may not be sold at a reasonable price within a
reasonable period. Liquidity may decrease or evaporate entirely during
unfavorable markets.
Credit Risk
Derivatives not traded on exchange are traded in the over-the-counter
(OTC) market. OTC instrument are subject to the risk of counter party defaults.
Hedging Risk
Several types of derivatives, including futures, options and forward are
used as hedges to reduce specific risks. If the anticipated risks do not develop,
the hedge may limit the fund’s total return.
49
players who would not otherwise participate for lack of arrangement to
transfer risk.
Market participants in the future and option markets are many and they
perform multiple roles, depending upon their respective positions. A trader acts
as a hedger when he transacts in the market for price risk management. He is a
speculator if he takes an open position in the price futures market or if he sells
naked option contracts. He acts as an arbitrageur when he enters in to
50
simultaneous purchase and sale of a commodity, stock or other asset to take
advantage of mispricing. He earns risk less profit in this activity. Such
opportunities do not exist for long in an efficient market. Brokers provide
services to others, while market makers create liquidity in the market.
Hedgers
Hedgers are the traders who wish to eliminate the risk (of price change) to
which they are already exposed. They may take a long position on, or short sell,
a commodity and would, therefore, stand to lose should the prices move in the
adverse direction.
Speculators
If hedgers are the people who wish to avoid the price risk, speculators are
those who are willing to take such risk. These people take position in the market
and assume risk to profit from fluctuations in prices. In fact, speculators
consume information, make forecasts about the prices and put their money in
these forecasts. In this process, they feed information into prices and thus
contribute to market efficiency. By taking position, they are betting that a price
would go up or they are betting that it would go down.
They monitor the prices continuously and generally attempt to make profit
from just a few ticks per trade. On the other hand, the position traders also
attempt to gain from price fluctuations but they keep their positions for longer
durations may is for a few days, weeks or even months.
Arbitrageurs
51
Arbitrageurs thrive on market imperfections. An arbitrageur profits by
trading a given commodity, or other item, that sells for different prices in different
markets. The Institute of Chartered Accountant of India, the word “ARBITRAGE”
has been defines as follows:-
TYPES OF DERIVATIVES:-
The most commonly used derivatives contracts are Forward, Futures and
Options. Here some derivatives contracts that have come to be used are
covered.
FORWARD:-
A forward contract is a customized contract between two entities,
where settlement takes place on a specific date in the future at today’s pre-
agreed price.
FUTURES :-
52
A futures contact is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell
an asset at a certain time in the future at a certain price. Futures contracts
are special types of forward contracts in the sense that the former are
standardized exchange-traded contracts.
OPTIONS:-
Options are a right available to the buyer of the same, to purchase or
sell an asset, without any obligation. It means that the buyer of the option can
exercise his option but is not bound to do so. Options are of 2 types: calls
and puts.
1. CALLS :-
Call gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a given
quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price, on or before a given future
date.
For example :- A, on 1 st Aug. buys an option to buy 600 shares of Reliance Ind.
Ltd. @ 450 Rs 450 on or before 1 st Sep. In this case, A has the right to buy the
shares on or before the specified date, but he is not bound to buy the shares.
2. PUTS :-
Put gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell a given
quantity of the underlying asset, at a given price, on or before a given date.
53
For example :- A, on 1 st Aug. buys an option to sell 600 shares of
Reliance Ind. Ltd. @ Rs 450 on or before 1 st Sep. In this case, A has the right
to sell the shares on or before the specified date, but he is not bound to sell
the shares.
In both the types of the options, the seller of the option has an
obligation but not a right to buy or sell an asset. His buying or selling of an
asset depends upon the action of buyer of the option. His position in both the
type of option is exactly the reverse of that of a buyer.
WARRANTS :-
Options generally have lives of up to one year, the majority of options
exchanges having a maximum maturity of nine months. Longer-dated options
are called warrants and are generally traded over-the-counter.
LEAPS :-
The acronym LEAPS means Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities.
These are options having a maturity of up to three years.
BASKET :-
Basket options are options on portfolios of underlying assets are
usually a moving average of a basket of assets. Equity index options are a
form of basket options.
SWAPS :-
54
Swaps are private agreement between two parties to exchange cash
flows in the future according to a pre arranged formula. They can be
regarded as portfolios of forward contract. The two commonly used swaps
are as followas:
SWAPTIONS :-
Swaptions are options to buy or sell a swap that will become operative
at the expiry of the options. Thus, a swaptions is an option on a forward
swap. Rather than have calls and puts, the swaptions market has receiver
swaptions and payer swaptions. A receiver swaptions is an option to receive
fixed and pay floating. A payer swaptions is an option to pay fixed and
receive floating Out of the above-mentioned types of derivatives forward.
55
the chairmanship of Dr. L.C.Gupta on November 18, 1996 to develop
appropriate regulatory framework for derivatives trading in India.
The repot, which was submitted in October 1998, worked out the
operational details of margining system, methodology for charging initial
margins, broker net worth, deposit requirement and real - time monitoring
requirements.
56
Derivatives trading commenced in India in June 2000 after SEBI
granted the final approval to this effect in May 2000. SEBI permitted the
derivative segment of two stock exchanges, NSE and BSE, and their clearing
house/corporation to commence trading and settlement in approved
derivatives contract.
57
They are bilateral contracts and hence exposed to counter party risk.
Each contract is custom designed, and hence is unique in terms of contract
size, expiration date and the asset type and quality.
The contract price is generally not available in public domain.
On the expiration date, the contract has to be settled by delivery of the asset.
If the party wishes to reverse the contract, it has to compulsorily go to the
same counter party, which often results in high prices being charged.
In the first two of these, the basic problem is that of too much flexibility
and generality. The forward market is like a real estate market in that any two
consenting adults can form contracts against each other. This often makes
them design terms of the deal, which are very convenient in that specific
situation, but makes the contract non-tradable.
Counter party risk arises from the possibility of default by any one
party to the transaction. When one of the two sides to the transaction
declares bankruptcy, the other suffers. Even when forward markets trade
standardized contracts, and hence avoid the problem illiquidity, the counter
party risk remains a very serious.
INTRODUCTION TO FUTURES:-
Future contract is specie of forward contract. Futures are exchange-traded
contracts to sell or buy standardized financial instruments or physical
commodities for delivery on a specified date at an agreed price. Futures
contracts are used generally for protecting against rich of adverse price
58
fluctuations (hedging). As the terms of contracts are standardized, these are
generally not used for merchandizing purpose.
The standardized items in a futures contract are:
Quantity of the underlying.
Quality of the underlying.
The date and month of delivery.
The units of price quotation and minimum price change.
Location of settlement.
59
Price stabilization in time of violent price fluctuations- this mechanism
dampens the peaks and lifts up the valleys i.e. the amplitude of price
variation is reduced.
Leads to integrated price structure throughout the country.
Facilitates lengthy and complex, production and manufacturing activities.
Helps balance in supply and demand position throughout the year.
Encourages competition and acts as a price barometer to farmers and
other trade functionaries.
Margins
The margining system is based on the J R Verma committee
recommendations. The actual margining happens on a daily basis while online
60
position monitoring is done on an intra day basis. Daily margining is of two
types:
1. Initial margins.
2. Mark-to market profit/loss.
The computation of initial margin on the futures market is done using the
concept of Value-at-risk (VaR). The initial margin amount is large enough to
cover a one-day loss that can be encountered on 99% of the days.
i. MTM Settlement
61
All futures contact for each member is marked-to-market (MTM) to the
daily settlement price of the relevant futures contract at the end of each day. The
profits/losses are computes as a difference between:
1. The trade price and the day’s settlement price for contracts executed during
the day but not squared up.
2. The previous day’s settlement price and the current day’s settlement price for
brought forward contracts.
The buy price and the sell price for the contracts executed during the day
and squared up. The clearing members (CMs) who have a loss are required to
pay the mark-to-market (MTM) loss amount in cash which is in, turn passed on
to the CMs who have made a MTM profit. This is known as daily mark-to-market
settlement. CMs are responsible to collect and settle the daily MTM
profits/losses incurred by the Trading members (TMs) and their clients clearing
and settling through them. Similarly, TMs are responsible to
collect/pay/losses/profits from/to their clients by the next day. The pay-in and
payout of the mark-to-market settlement are affected on the day following the
trade day. After completion of daily settlement computation, all the open
positions are reset to the daily settlement price. Such position becomes the
opening positions for the next day.

SETTLEMENT PRICES FOR FUTURES:-
Daily settlement price on a trading day is the closing price of the
respective future contracts on such day. The closing price for the future
contracts is currently calculated as the last half an hour weighted average price
of a contract in the F&O segment of NSE. Final settlement price is the closing
price of the relevant underlying index/security in the capital market segment of
NSE, on the last trading day of the contract. The closing price of the underlying
Index/security is currently its last half an hour weighted average value in the
capital market segment of NSE.
INTRODUCTION TO OPTIONS:-
Options give the holder or buyer of the option the right to do something. If
the option is a call option, the buyer or holder has the right to buy the number of
shares mentioned in the contract at the agreed strike price. If the option is a put
option, the buyer of the option has a right to sell the number of shares
mentioned in the contract at the agreed strike price. The holder of the buyer
does not have to exercise this right.
Thus on the expiry of the day of the contract the option may or may not be
exercised by the buyer. In contrast, in a futures contract, the two parties to the
contract have committed themselves to doing something at a future date. To
have this privilege of doing the transaction at a future only if it is a profitable, the
buyer of the option has to pay a premium to the seller of options.
TYPES OF OPTIONS:-
63
An option is a contract between two parties giving the taker/buyer) the
right, but not obligation, to buy or sell a parcel of shares at a predetermined price
possibly on, or before a predetermined rate. To acquire this right the taker pays
a premium to the writer (seller) of the contract.
There are two types of options:
1. Call Options
2. Put Options
Call Options:
Call options give the taker the right, but not the obligation, to buy the
underlying shares at a predetermined price, on or before a predetermined date.
Call Options- Long & Short Positions
When you expect prices to rise, then you take a long position by buying
calls. You are bullish.
When you expect prices to fall, then you take a short position by selling
calls. You are bearish.
Put Options:
A Put Option gives the holder of the right to sell a specific number of an
agreed security at a fixed price for a period.
Put Options- Long & Short Positions
When you expect prices to rise, then you take a long position by buying
Puts. You are bearish.
When you expect prices to fall, then you take a short position by selling
Puts. You are bullish.

If you expect a rise in price [B ullish] Long Short

TABLE SHOWING THE DEALING OF CALL & PUT OPTION
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS:-
65
A term that describes an option with a strike price that is equal to the
current market price of the underlying stock. But of the money if the stock price
is above its strike price.
Intrinsic Value
In a call option, if the value of the underlying asset is higher than the
strike price, the option premium has an intrinsic value and is an “in- the- money”
option. If the value of the underlying asset is lower than the strike price, the
option has no intrinsic value and is an “out- of- the- money” option. If the value of
the underlying asset is equivalent to the strike price, the call option is “at- the-
money” and has no intrinsic value or zero intrinsic value.
In a put option, if the value of the underlying asset is lower than the strike
price, the option has an intrinsic value and is an “in- the- money” option. If the
value of the underlying asset is higher than the strike price, the option has no
intrinsic value and is “out- of- money” option.
If the value of the underlying asset is equivalent to the strike price, the put
option is at the- money”
Time Value
Time value is the amount an investor is willing to pay for an option, in the
hope that at some time prior to expiration its value will increase because of a
favorable change in the price of the underlying asset. Time value reduces as the
expiration draws near and on expiration day; the time value of the option is zero.
Option Price
66
An option cost or price is called “premium”. The potential loss for the
buyer of an option is limited to the amount of premium paid for the contract. The
writer of the option, on the other hand, undertakes the risk of unlimited potential
loss, for premium received. Thus,
Option Price = Premium Price
A premium is the net amount the buyer of an option pays to the seller of
the option. It does not refer to an amount above the base price, as the term
The Black and Scholes Option Pricing Model didn't appear overnight, in
fact, Fisher Black started out working to create a valuation model for stock
warrants. This work involved calculating a derivative to measure how the
discount rate of a warrant varies with time and stock price. The result of this
calculation held a striking resemblance to a well-known heat transfer equation.
Soon after this discovery, Myron Scholes joined Black and the result of their work
is a startlingly accurate option pricing model.
Black and Scholes can't take all credit for their work; in fact their model is
actually an improved version of a previous model developed by A. James Boness
in his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Chicago. Black and Scholes'
improvements on the Boness model come in the form of a proof that the risk-free
67
interest rate is the correct discount factor, and with the absence of assumptions
regarding investor's risk preferences.
expiration day. The fair market value of the call option is then calculated
by taking the difference between these two parts.
68
because when you exercise a call early, you forfeit the remaining time value on
the call and collect the intrinsic value. Towards the end of the life of a call, the
remaining time value is very small, but the intrinsic value is the same.
69
6) Returns are log normally distributed
This assumption suggests, returns on the underlying stock are normally
distributed, which is reasonable for most assets that offer options.
Advantage:
Limitation:
As all exchange traded equity options have American-style exercise (i.e. they
can be exercised at any time as opposed to European options which can
only be exercised at expiration) this is a significant limitation.
The exception to this is an American call on a non-dividend paying asset. In
this case the call is always worth the same as its European equivalent as
there is never any advantage in exercising early.
Various adjustments are sometimes made to the Black-Scholes price to
enable it to approximate American option prices but these only works well
within certain limits and they don't really work well for puts.

FINDINGS
1. Here we found that out of 200 investors 74 means 37% investors are
trading in derivative market whereas 126 means 63% are not trading in derivative
market.
90
7. Out of 200 investors 12.5% investors are investing 11% to 15% of their income
trading in derivative market.
CONCLUSION
91
3. Investors also prefer Safety and Time Factor as the important
parameter for investing.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Only 74 investors are trading whereas 126 are not trading .so attract them
for trading.
2.19 are lack of awareness so make them aware with the derivative .so
increase the customer.
92
3. Out of 126, 26 don’t have knowledge for derivative so provide them
knowledge for trading in derivative market.
4. Those who are not satisfied with the derivative by knowing their behavior of
investment make them satisfied. Because negative word mouth of the
customers fall down the business. And good word of mouth builds the
business.
