OVERVIEW OF MARKET
The Derivative market is divided in two markets. Those are 1- Futures & 2- Option market.
Market
Derivative Spot
Futures
Option
What is derivative?
A type of financial instruments whose value is derived from the price of some underlying asset
(e.g. an interest level, security, exchange rate, oil price or stock market index etc). They are designed
to help companies hedge (protect themselves against the risk of price changes) or as speculative
investments from which great profits can be made. The rapid growth in derivatives trading has
played a major part in the growing volatility of the global financial system. Thus a derivative
instrument by itself does not constitute ownership. It is instead a promise to convey ownership.
All derivatives are based on some cash products. The underlying basis of a derivative instrumentmay be any product includinga) Commodities including grain, coffee beans, orange juice etcb) Precious metals like gold and silverc) Foreign exchange ratesd) Bonds of different types, including medium to long term negotiable debt securities issued by
govts, companies, etce) Short term debt securities such as T-bills andf) Over-the-counter (OTC) money market products such as loan or deposits.

What is future contract?
A future contract is a standardized contract between two parties where one of the parties commits tosell, and the other to buy, a stipulated quantity and quality (where applicable) of a commodity,currency, security index or some other specified item at an agreed price on a given date in the future.

i. The quantity of the commodity or the other asset which would be transferred or would from thebasis of gain/loss on maturity of a contract,
ii. The quality of the commodity if a certain commodity is involved and the place wheredelivery of the commodity would be made,
iii. The date and month of delivery,iv. The units of price quotation,v. The minimum amount by which the price would change and the price limits for a days
operations, and other relevant details are all specified in a futures contract. Thus, in a way, itbecomes a standard asset, to be traded.
What is option?
An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified amount (and quality) of acommodity, currency, index or financial instruments, or to buy or sell a specified number ofunderlying futures contracts, at a specified price on or before a given date in future. Like othercontracts there are two parties to an options contracts. The buyer who takes a long position, and theseller who takes a short position. The option contract gives the owner a right to buy/sell a particularcommodity or other asset at a predetermined price by a specified date. It is important to understandthat such a contract gives its holder the right and not the obligation to buy/sell. The option writer onthe other hand undertakes upon himself the obligation to sell/buy the underlying asset if that suits theoption holder.
What is spot market?
Commodities and foreign currencies are traded for immediate delivery and payment on the spotmarket-also known as a cash market. The term refers to the fact that the full cash price is paid "onthe spot," or within a short period of time. A cash sale, whether arranged in person, over the
telephone, or electronically, is the opposite of a forward contract, where delivery and settlement areset for a date in the future, or a futures contract, which is an agreement to trade a commodity for aset price on a specific date in the future.

Platform providers of online trading in India
1) Indian nationalized banks2) Brokers
Why platform is needed?
As this market is a high volume traded market, to trade in this market a large amount of money isrequired also a terminal and listing in different exchanges is needed. So it is quite expensive for anindividual to get listed in the exchanges and having private terminals. Thats why platform isneeded.
Trading through Indian nationalized banks
If an individual is interested to trade in this market with the help of the nationalized banks, he/she
needs to have an account with that bank with the minimum investment of $100000, which is toomuch amount for a normal investor. The amount is that much only because of the high volumetrading. On an average the normal lot size of a component is $100000.
Till today not all the banks are providing online platform to trade. In many cases the client canttrade of his own. Only the bank trades on behalf of him.

RESEARCH FINDINGS
This research helped us identify following problems where online trading has an immense
scope of improvement:Though on-line trading has had positive effects on the securities market
1) There are many people who are trading in Equity,the most,then mutual fundsand at last in commodities due to level of risk.
2) The people trade with less amount but the frequency of there trade is more.
3) The securities companies is the majoe factor which affects the growth
49
http://www.uniconindia.co.in/index.asp -
8/9/2019 Growth of Online Trading
50/58
4) Excessive day trading increased the price volatility,
5) Misleading to the investors by placing fake orders.
6) Rumors or fictitious information were floated on the cyber space
7) It is expected that securities firms will pursue restructuring to reduce
their operating costs and enhance their competitiveness.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We suggest following measures, which could be taken so as to further improve the online
trading
People are unaware of the new market of commodities is new into the market so people
companies related to these has to go for their promotion at various places in Delhi and
NCR.
Try to reduce cost, as brokerage,so that benefits can be passed on to customers.
If charges cant be reduced because of costs involved, make the services customized, so
that services are provided to only those customers who are willing to pay the price for
50
http://www.uniconindia.co.in/index.asp -
8/9/2019 Growth of Online Trading
51/58
services they are getting and let the other customers enjoy costs benefits without getting
services.
Companies should contact with their clients regularly for knowing the problems faced
by them. This will help them in providing best services to customers. This will result in
additional customer base by getting further references from satisfied clients.
Lastly the people have lots of scope of earning through online trading but this is
possible if they are properly guided by their brokers or they must have full information.
CONCLUSION
In spite of these optimistic numbers, online trading in India is at a very nascent stage (about 5-
8 percent of total traded volumes) compared to countries like South Korea (60 percent), US (40
percent) and UK (20 percent). Online trading in the year 2000-2001 accounted for only Rs
50,170 crore out of total traded volume of Rs 25,08,445 crore.
There are currently close to 50 online brokerages in India with Unicon, ICICIDirect,
KotakStreet, Sharekhan, Motilal Oswal, IndiaBulls and 5Paisa being some major players.
However, due to limited volumes, no online brokerage is currently making money and a
shakeout is imminent in the near future. The going is expected to get tougher with the advent
of capital account convertibility. On an average, Rs 40 crore per day (Rs 1,000 crore per
51

8/9/2019 Growth of Online Trading
52/58
month) is likely to be the threshold breakeven for online brokerages. There is scope for
multiple players as the entire segment is in a growth stage.
While there are many factors that need to be understood to justify this assertion, one simple
fact is worthy of note. The average age of the Indian Internet user as cited by a recent IDC
survey is 27 years. The average age of the head (and financial decision taker) of the Indian
equity-investor household, as revealed by the SEBI-NCAER study of Indian investors in 2000
is 45 years. The older, experienced equity investor is not online today and the fact that older,
mature investors are not tech-positive and hence unlikely to move to online trading is Here,
the numbers of banks with a strong online presence are very few - again, dominated by new
private banks and foreign banks. Both have lesser reach owing to a smaller network in the
country. The relative inability of large public-
sector banks to offer-facilities for Internet banking is a barrier in this regard. Besides, Internet
penetration in India is still very low and concerns about security also tend to predominate. In
markets like the US, online brokerages are advertised very heavily. Online trading in India has
so far not seen similar levels of aggressive advertising, with the exception of ICICI Direct and
India bulls. Besides, only scripts that have been compulsorily dematerialized can be traded on
the net here.
Brand building, assurances of security, developing multiple delivery channels with anytime
telephonic grievance redressed options is some directions, which may be of use for the
immediate future. Online trading firms can also market themselves aggressively to students

considered to be best suited to the fulfill the project hypothesis. A structured questionnaire was
designed will be a very simple one and will look to bring out the very basics of stock
market ,mutual funds and commodities market.A structured questionnaire was constructed in
order to measure the responses of respondents on suitable scale so that they can be analyzed on
SPSS. Primary data collection was done through questionnaire and interviews and secondary
data collection through company websites and various previous research reports. The whole
survey will be based on the research objectives.
The world of online trading is huge. Obviously our survey will not bring out each and every
aspect of it. Retail investors' try to look in for very simple things and the investment basics. We
are trying to bring in all those important factors.
