Different methods of buying and selling of shares

Following are the two methods of buying and selling of shares in Indian share market.
Market Order
Limit Order

¨ Market Order
    When you put buy or sell price of a stock at market rate or select market order option in trading terminal then the price get executes at
    the current rate of market. The market order gets executed immediately at the current available price.
    In market order the shares will get executed at the best current available price. Market order is used if you want to execute your order
    very fast and at available price.
    If you wish to buy or sell shares at any specific price then market orders is not suitable for you then have to go for limit order.
    Market order is for those who want to buy or sell immediately at the current available price.

¨ Limit Order
     It’s totally different from market order. In limit order the buying or selling price has to be mentioned and when the share price comes to
    that price then the order will get executed. But here it’s not sure that the price will come to your limit order and the order get executes.
    In other words in limit order the specific price is mentioned and trader or investor wait till the stock price reaches that price and once the
    stock price reaches that price then the order will get execute.
    Day traders has to take very precaution while using limit order, especially who make use of margin amount In day trading, because you
    have to close all your transactions before 3:30 PM and if in case the price doesn’t reach to your limit order then your order will be open
    (pending) and then you have to go through the penalties.
    Importantly limit order and stop loss order are used together to minimize the risk.

¨ Stop Loss Order
    Stop loss orders are used to reduce or to minimize the losses. This is very important term especially if you are doing day trading
    (intraday trading).
    Stop Loss order as the name indicates this is used to reduce the losses.
    In Stop loss order the trigger price has to be mentioned, by the trader, and once the price reaches the trigger price the order get executed
    with the best price available between the trigger price and the limit price.
    For example - Suppose the trader bought the Reliance Industries at Rs 1000.
    So he puts the following order to protect his losses.
    The limit order of Rs 990 and stop loss trigger price at Rs 985
    So if the reliance industries stock price starts falling and if it reaches 985 then his trade executes with the current market available price.

    Note - The stop loss trigger price is placed below the limit price in buy order and above the limit price in sell order.

Different types of Share trading

Day trading and Delivery trading (it is also called as investing) are the two main types of share trading.

¨ Day trading
     Buying and selling of shares on daily basis is called day trading; this is also called as Intraday trading.
    Whatever you buy today you have to sell it today OR whatever you sell today you have to buy it today and very importantly during market
    hours that is between 9.55 am to 3.30 pm (Indian time).
    In day trading, brokers provide margin to do trading. Means you get extra amount for day trading.
    Suppose if you have 10,000 rupees in your account then you can buy and sell shares worth rupees 40,000(four times more - basically
    margin amount depends on your broker).
    So if you use margin amount for day trading then you have square off your shares before market closes irrespective of share price or
    whether you are making loss or profit.

Please note - If you don’t use margin amount and trade only with your available amount then no need to square off your positions.
For example if the you buy some shares and the share prices falls then you can hold them and take delivery and sell them whenever the
share prices increases.

Important note - New comers should not start by day trading as it is very risky.
Day trading requires lots of knowledge including share, entire share market, global markets, news and many more parameters.

¨ Delivery Trading
    In Delivery Trading, as the name say, you have to take the delivery of shares and after getting these shares in your demat account you
    can sell them at anytime (or you can hold them till you want, there is no restriction).
    In delivery trading you need to have the amount required to buy share in other words you don’t get margin amount as you get in day
    trading
    For example - If you want to buy 10 shares of Reliance at price 1200 than you must have (100x1200) Rs 12,000 in your account; once
    you purchased these shares will get deposited in your demat account (after trading day and 2 additional days). Then you can sell these
    shares when the price of these shares goes up or else you can hold them as long as you want.

Please Note - First you have to buy and sell. You can’t sell before buying in delivery trading while it’s possible in day trading which is called as short selling.

    month before, and sell them as the price increases after the result announcement.

Following are the few fundamental parameters used to forecast and analyze the companies current and future growth. Like,
What is the company all about?
The analysis of quarterly, half yearly and annual financial reports.
What are the Company’s expansion and future plans?
How is the Management - like board of directors, chairman, CEO etc
The Companies involvement in foreign investment/collaboration or stake etc. and finally depending on these factors and many others, fundamental analysts have prepared certain fundamental ratios which will be used to forecast the company’s current valuation, future growth prospects, its debt and many more things.

Fundamental Ratios like -
PE (price to earning) ratio
EPS (earning per share) ratio
Book value
Working capital ratio
