1. Order Type
  - Limit Order - A limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a specific price. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. Eg. If the current market price of Idea Cellular is Rs.75 & you wish to Buy at Rs. 70 or Sell at Rs. 80, you have to place a Limit Order.
    
    Steps to place a limit order: Trade -> Buy/Sell->Order Type -> Limit Order.
    
    A limit order can be placed via Market Watch, After Market Order, Basket Order and Markets Live too.
  - Market Order - A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the current market price. The advantage of a market order is you are almost always guaranteed your order will be executed.
  - Stop Loss Limit Order - A stop loss limit order is an order to buy a security at no more (or sell at no less) than a specified limit price. This gives the trader some control over the price at which the trade is executed, but may prevent the order from being executed. A stop loss buy limit order can only be executed by the exchange at the limit price or lower. A stop loss sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. Eg. If you have short sold NTPC @ Rs.145 in expectation that the price will fall, in case of price increase, you can limit the loss by placing a Stop Loss Buy order. In the Buy Screen we can put the trigger price @ Rs.150 and Limit Price @ Rs.155. As soon as NTPC‘s last traded price rises above Rs. 150, a limit order for NTPC @ Rs. 155 will get activated.
    
    To place Limit Order: Trade -> Buy/Sell ->Order Type ->Stop Loss Order.
    
    Stop Loss Order can be placed via Market Watch, After Market Order, Basket Order and Markets Live too.
  - Stop Loss Market Order - A stop loss market order is an order to buy or sell a security at the current market price prevailing at the time the stop order is triggered. This type of stop loss order gives the trader no control over the price at which the trade will be executed. A sell stop market order is an order to sell at the best available price after the price goes below the stop price. A sell stop price is always below the current market price. A buy stop market order is typically used to limit a loss (or to protect an existing profit) on a short sale. A buy stop price is always above the current market price.
2. Disclosed Quantity - The disclosed quantity attribute allows the client to hide the actual quantity that he wishes to buy or sell. Client can place an order to buy or sell shares and also specify the disclosed quantity. When the order is sent to the Exchange only the disclosed quantity will be shown. If SL (Stop Loss) is selected for the order Type, the Disclosed Quantity field cannot be used. Disclosed Quantity should not be less that 10% of the Order Quantity and at the same time should not be greater than or equal to the Order Quantity. Eg- If an order is placed to buy/sell 1000 shares with a disclosed quantity condition of 200 will mean that 200 is displayed to the market at a time. After this is traded, another 200 is automatically released and so on till the full order is executed.
3. Order Validity – The validity field is used to select the validity of the order. The Validity options are
  - Immediate or cancel Orders (IOC Orders) - It is an active order type subject to the condition of execution in part. As soon as it is entered, this order matches with the outstanding counter-orders, and its non-executed part is automatically cancelled. It may be given in the form of a “Limit Order” or a “Market Order”.
  - Day Orders - Any order to buy or sell a security that automatically expires if not executed on the day the order is placed.
  - Good Till Cancel orders (GTC Orders) - An order to buy or sell a security at a set price that is active until the investor decides to cancel it or the trade is executed. A GTC order will not be executed until the limit price has been reached, regardless of how many days or weeks it might take. GTC Orders are applicable for Commodities only. Eg – you are long 1 Dec Gold and have a GTC order to sell 1 Dec Gold @ 17000 Stop. You decide to sell your 1 long Dec Gold on a Market order. Your GTC order must be cancelled…or you will sell (short) 1 Dec Gold if the market trades (or is “bid”) at 17000 or lower.
  - Good Till Date orders (GTD Orders) - also known as Good-Till-Time, orders are limit orders to buy or sell products, which - if not filled completely - remain valid in the market until a specified date. GTD orders suit long-term traders and investors who want to buy or sell stocks on reaching specific price levels and traders who lack time to regularly monitor price movements. Applicable for Commodities only.
  - GTDys orders – are the Orders valid till the no of days specified in the No of Days field.
4. Verify Order - The system asks you to reconfirm the transaction details to ensure you only give the correct order. When you click on 'Confirm' button, the system displays you a dialog box where you can view your order details. Click on 'Submit' button to place the order. Alternatively, you can click on 'Back' button to go back and make changes in the order.
5. NSE Future & Options (NFO) - A 'Future' is a contract to buy or sell the underlying asset for a specific price at a pre-determined time. If you buy a futures contract, it means that you promise to pay the price of the asset at a specified time. If you sell a future, you effectively make a promise to transfer the asset to the buyer of the future at a specified price at a particular time.
  
  Options contracts are instruments that give the holder of the instrument the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at a predetermined price. An option can be a 'call' option or a 'put' option. A call option gives the buyer, the right to buy the asset at a given price. This 'given price' is called 'strike price'. It should be noted that while the holder of the call option has a right to demand sale of asset from the seller, the seller has only the obligation and not the right
6. Instrument
  - Future Index - An index future is a derivative, similar to a stock future, whose value is dependent on the value of the underlying, By trading in index futures, an investor is buying and selling the basket of stocks comprising the index, in their respective weights.
  - Future Stock - are financial contracts where the underlying asset is an individual stock. Stock Future contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of underlying equity share for a future date at a price agreed upon between the buyer and seller. The contracts have standardized specifications like market lot, expiry day, and unit of price quotation, tick size and method of settlement.
  - Option index - A stock index option provides the right to trade a specific stock index (Nifty) at a specified price by a specified expiration date. A call option on a stock index gives you the right to buy the index, and a put option on a stock index gives you the right to sell the index. Options on stock indexes are similar to exchange-traded funds (ETF's), the difference being that ETF's values change throughout the day whereas the value on stock index options change at the end of each trading day. Therefore, profit/loss on an index option is based on the market's closing price for the day, not on any price during the market's open hours. If an index option is exercised before the close of the market, the buyer of the option will in- or out-of-the-money for an additional amount equal to the difference between the closing price and the exercise price. If the market closes above the intra-day exercise price, then the option will accrue an additional loss, and if the market closes below the intra-day exercise price, the option will accrue an additional gain. For this reason, index options are typically closed out after the market has closed.
  - Option Stock - stock options are a contract between two parties that expires at an agreed-upon time in the future. The contract purchaser is buying the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a "call" option) or sell (a "put" option) an asset (the "underlying") at a specific price, on or before the agreed-upon date. The contract seller is accepting the obligation to take the other side of the transaction.
