paced, short-term trades, often lasting only seconds to minutes, to
profit from small, incremental price changes.

Day Trading

 Day Trading is a strategy where traders buy and sell financial


instruments, such as stocks or currencies, within the same trading
day to profit from small, short-term price fluctuations closing all
positions before the market close.
Swing Trading

 Swing trading is an investment strategy that holds financial


positions for a few days to a couple of weeks to profit from short- to
medium-term market price fluctuations, or "swings"

Key characteristics of swing trading

Holding Period

: Positions are held for more than one day but usually not for very long,
typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks.

Market Focus

: The goal is to capitalize on short- to medium-term price swings and


momentum within a financial market.

Analysis

trends, potential reversal points, and favorable conditions for taking a
position.

Strategy

and execute trades based on identified price patterns and trends.

buy-and-hold investing.

: Identify Opportunities: Traders analyze market charts and news to find


assets with significant upward or downward price trends.
: Enter a Position: A trader enters a long position if a stock is likely to
go up or a short position if it's expected to go down, holding it for the
identified short- to medium-term trend.

: Exit a Position: The trader exits the position when the price swing is
expected to reverse or when the market has moved enough to meet
their profit target.

Stock Exchange
 Stock exchange is a regulated, centralized platform where buyers
and sellers trade financial securities like stocks, bonds, and
derivatives, fulfilling a critical role by facilitating capital formation
for companies, ensuring liquidity for investors, enabling transparent
price discovery, and fostering economic growth through investment
and savings mobilization.

Key Functions of a Stock Exchange

 Capital Formation: Stock exchanges provide a vital channel for


companies to raise capital by issuing shares to the public, a process
known as Initial Public Offering (IPO), which allows them to fund
expansion, research, and other development projects.
 Liquidity and Marketability: Exchanges offer a marketplace where
investors can easily buy and sell securities, providing liquidity and
ensuring that financial instruments can be converted into cash
efficiently.
 Price Discovery: The continuous interaction of supply and demand
on the exchange determines the real-time market price of securities,
providing a transparent and fair valuation of companies and other
issuers.
 Investor Protection: Stock exchanges enforce strict rules and
regulations, monitor trading activity, and require listed companies to
provide regular disclosures, safeguarding investor interests and
reducing fraud.
 Mobilization of Savings: By channeling household savings into
productive investments, stock exchanges facilitate economic
growth, turning individual savings into capital for businesses.
 Economic Barometer: The performance of the stock market serves
as a reliable indicator of the economy's health, with changes in
share prices reflecting the overall sentiment and performance of the
economy.
 Promoting the Equity Culture: Exchanges help spread ownership by
making it easier for smaller investors to participate in the equity
market, thereby fostering broader financial participation.
 Facilitating Takeovers and Mergers: The exchange provides a
platform that allows for the smooth buying and selling of shares,
which is essential for corporate takeovers and mergers to occur.

stockbroker that allows individuals or entities to trade securities
such as shares, commodities, futures, and options.

buy and sell transactions in the stock market.

time online trading.

Demat Account

 A demat account is an Indian term for a dematerialized account that


holds financial securities (equity or debt) digitally for traded shares
in the share market. In India, demat accounts are maintained by two
depository organizations: the National Securities Depository Limited
and the Central Depository Services Limited.
Types of demat accounts
 Regular demat accounts
 Repatriable demat accounts (allows foreign funds and
transfers abroad)
 Non-repatriable demat accounts

Regular Demat Account

 A regular demat account is the standard account for resident Indian


investors to hold securities like shares, bonds, and ETFs in a digital
format, with no upper limit on the number or value of holdings. It is
linked to a trading account for buying and selling, and requires
payment of an Annual Maintenance Charge (AMC) to the Depository
Participant (DP). It serves as the default account type for individuals
who are not eligible for a Basic Services Demat Account (BSDA).
Key Characteristics
 For Resident Indians: Primarily designed for investors who
reside in India.
 No Holding Limit: There are no restrictions on the number or
value of securities you can hold in the account.
 Standard Features: It is a default account type offered by
depositories like NSDL and CDSL.
 Linked to a Trading Account: Requires a trading account for
executing buy and sell orders for securities.
 Annual Maintenance Charges (AMC): Requires payment of an
annual fee to the DP for maintaining the account.

When to Use a Regular Demat Account

 You are a resident Indian investor.


 You trade or invest frequently.
 Your investment portfolio is likely to exceed the limits set for a Basic
Services Demat Account (BSDA).

Repatriable Demat account

 A Repatriable Demat account allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to


invest in Indian securities and transfer their investment earnings
and principal back to their home country. It is linked to a Non-
Resident External (NRE) bank account, which facilitates the
seamless repatriation of funds according to the Foreign Exchange
Management Act (FEMA) regulations. This type of account is ideal
for NRIs who wish to invest in the Indian market while maintaining
the flexibility to take their money out of India when needed.

Key Characteristics

Target Audience:

Designed specifically for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), Persons of Indian


Origin (PIOs), and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs).

Bank Account Link:

Must be linked to a Non-Resident External (NRE) bank account.

Fund Repatriation:

Allows the full repatriation of both the principal invested and the income
(like dividends and interest) earned from the investments to an overseas
account.

Regulatory Compliance:

Adheres to FEMA regulations for fund transfers.

Purpose:

To enable NRIs to invest in Indian equities and capital markets and then
send their earnings back home.

How it Works

 Eligibility: The NRI must be an eligible individual and possess a valid


PAN card, passport, and overseas residence proof.
 Bank Account: A NRE bank account is opened or used for this
purpose.
 Demat Account Opening: An NRI Demat account is opened through
a SEBI-registered depository participant (broker).
 Investment: Funds from the NRE account are used to purchase
securities in the Indian market.
 Repatriation: Profits, dividends, and the original investment capital
can be transferred abroad from the NRE account linked to the
Demat account.

Non - Repatriable Demat account

 A non- Repatriable Demat account is a type of account for Non-


Resident Indians (NRIs) that allows them to invest in Indian financial
markets but restricts the ability to transfer their investment
earnings or sale proceeds to their home country. These funds remain
in India and are managed through a linked Non-Resident Ordinary
(NRO) account, with limited remittance allowed annually, typically
up to $1 million, after taxes are paid.

Key Characteristics

Restricted Fund Transfer:

The primary characteristic is the restriction on easily transferring funds


abroad, as investments made through this account are generally for
managing Indian-sourced income.

NRO Account Linkage:

It must be linked to an NRO bank account, which is used to manage local


income, such as dividends and interest from investments.

Investment Focus:

NRIs open this account to use their Indian earnings to purchase securities
like shares, bonds, and mutual funds within the Indian market.

Annual Remittance Limit:

While funds cannot be freely transferred, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
allows a limited annual remittance of up to $1 million to an NRI's foreign
bank account, provided applicable taxes have been paid.

Tax Implications:

Funds deposited and earned through this account are subject to Indian
taxation laws.

Who Uses It?

 NRIs who have income flows in India from sources like rent or
dividends and want to reinvest these rupee-generated funds into
the Indian stock market.
 NRIs who are temporarily in India or have left the country but want
to manage their existing Indian investments without transferring all
earnings overseas.
