TRAINING PROGRAM SCHEDULE

Part A:Basic Screen Reading of SpiderIrisplus:The objective of this training is to ensure that the executive knows the basics and explain the basic screen to anyone.

Why to Download Daily and Intraday Files?

Downloading of daily and Intraday files is most important to keep the software updated with the latest data.Daily Files- Daily files contains the Official Closing of the Market (derived at Post closing session).- The Next days %change of any scrip is compared using the previous days Daily Closing.- If the Daily file is not updated the %change figures in Intraday will not be correct, hence it is important to download the previous daily files regularly before connecting to the live market.- Daily file is uploaded on the server normally between 5.30pm – 6.00pm. Delays are possible during such delays beyond the usual time a txt file with msg is uploaded on server informing that the daily file is delayed. (As it comes after office hours this message helps in informing the clients about the delay).- Daily File name -“mmddDly.zip” - Contains N (nse), B (Bse), F (Futures), O (Options) , D (Derivatives).CA (Corporate Action), MB (Market Breadth ADS), LicSpider (License file), NseNifty.csv (Index Contribution info).“mmddCurrency.zip”“mmddCommodity.zip”“WorldMarket.zip”

Page 2: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

Note : When we want to send different contents like a “new exe” to specific products only we name the daily files with a Prefix so that it can be seen only to the product downloading the daily file. IN_mmdddly.zip – Irisnse, IB (IrisBse), IC (IrisCtcl) , AC (Ace).

Please Note: For clients using internet in another machine we do not give them the link to our downloads. So they have to put the userinfo.txt file in that different PC daily and Copy and extract the files into the Drive.

Intraday FilesDuring the live market when you connect to the Spider Servers the live data intraday file (D4) gets automatically saved in your PC, so the user does not have to connect to Internet to see the Intraday data after the market is over. Once the current Intraday is completed and you connect for the next day, The previous days D4 file gets compressed to D5 file. The D5 file is smaller in size and compressed by removing unwanted information of previous day, which helps you to more intraday history faster. The past Intraday files are also saved (as D5) in your hard disk.What to download ? For NSE live data - ND4 (mmddIntNse.zip) and for ND5 (mmddInt5Nse.zip)For Derivative live data - DD4 (mmddIntNFo.zip ) and for DD5 (mmddInt5NFO.zip)

For BSE live data - BD4 (mmddIntBse.zip) and for BD5 (mmddInt5Bse.zip)On the server the Current days “xxxxInt.zip” are also replaced by the xxxxInt5.zipIf the client has connected to the live markets then he will not be able to see the Int.zip files on the server as he already has the data and he does not have to download again.

Explaining the Intraday connection box

Intra Day History "N" Days: Here the user has to specify how many days of past Intra Day history Data to be loaded. This has to be specified before the user clicks on Connect check box. The number of D5 files loaded will increase the memory usage of the system. If (1 days ND5 file = 10 MB) X ( 30 Days history loaded ) = 300 MB of Ram used.

Page 3: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

You have to ensure that there is sufficient Ram left for the O/S and other applications to run so that your system does not get hung.For smoother performance Live users to make sure that in Display settings of windows.1. Screen Saver is kept as “None”.2. Turn off Hard Disk is kept as “Never”.

Data From [Open] or [Current]: If Open is selected, you will start receiving data from the beginning of the Market or from the time the user has stopped during current live market. If Current is selected the data will start from the current time (In current viewing charts should be avoided as it can show errors).

Server: After connecting to the Internet, select any of the servers One, Two, Three to get data.

Connect: When you click on Connect the Intraday History files are loaded first and then the Current day's data is loaded. The window automatically closes when the files have been loaded and the connection gets established. Please note you can connect for live data only during trading days from ( 9:15 am to 3:30 pm ).

In case you miss the live market the Intraday files (****INT.zip) will be on server in download files list.

Use Proxy Server : Enable if connecting through proxy.

Server IP : " Enter Server IP "

Port (Socks5) : "Enter Socks5 port number" (usually 1080) (Please check with your System Administrator for Proxy IP and the correct SOCKS port)

Page 4: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

Data Ports used (also to be allowed in your Firewall settings)

IRIS BSE = Uses port 3000 ( for inbound and outbound)

IRIS NSE = Uses port 4000 (for inbound and outbound)IRIS Plus = Uses port 4999 (for inbound and outbound)

Understanding line,bar and Candle chart Open Chart > Default – Bar Chart is displayed.Bar (press B) – Green if Current Bar Close > Previous Bar Close.Candle (press J) – Japanese Candle is Green if Current Bar Close > Current Bar Open.Line (press L) – Green if Current Close > Previous Close. (plots only the closing prices)Dot Chart (press X) – Displays only the closing prices as dots. (hides price details quickly)

Importance of Volume chart Volume is simply the number of shares or contracts that trade over a given period of time, usually a day. The higher the volume, the more active the security.Volume is an important aspect of technical analysis because it is used to confirm trends and chart patterns. Any price movement up or down with relatively high volume is seen as a stronger, more relevant move than a similar move with weak volume. Therefore, if you are looking at a large price movement, you should also examine the volume.

Changing from one exchange to other (BSE to NSE,CTRL W) Pressing CTRL + W will help in...- Comparing Rates in both exchnages.- In case of spikes in Highs and Lows charts can be compared in other exchange.- Since Bse has more historical data you can check the longer term Highs and Lows and the patterns formed in Bse before trading in Nse.- Useful for analysis of gaps, Volumes and such other minor difference in both exchanges.

Understanding Bid offer figures on an intraday chart RED – Bid - The bid price is the price at which you can SELL the sharesOFFER – Offer - The offer price is the price at which you can BUY them.Bid (Red) will always lower than the Offer (Green).If Red = 0.00 then it indicates Buyers Only (no sellers) I.e Upper Circuit.If Green = 0.00 then it indicates Sellers Only (no buyers) I.e Lower Circuit.

Understanding the Green,red and white line on the Intraday charts The INTRADAY TRADERS are dependent on the Information displayed on the Bolt Terminal for numerical information. Since the information is limited to Current day only the Traders See only the Previous Days , High , Low and Close and the current Avg Traded price of today.Majority of the traders use the Previous days levels to trade on the current market.Hence a sharp reaction is expected at Previous days figures. In IRIS it is represented as..Green – Previous days HighRed – Previous days Low.White – Previous days Close.

Page 6: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

CTRL G (Automated support resistance lines) Based on Wilders theory, this feature is the most simplest yet the most powerful feature of the software.

Understanding the Entire Technical Query in Detail

- You can now track 50 different individual query conditions and create up to 8 different Relationship conditions.

- There are two methods or running a query, viz. Live Query and Historical Query.- Filter conditions are based on previous days daily closing data.- Change Input allows you to change the base Input to some another Technical parameters value already in the list.- Offset option allows you to offset the entire query backwards.- There are now 3 different technical query windows to check different query in different windows.- Technical Query can now be saved with Comments (Enhanced format)- The clients can also protect their conditions by Password, UCC, Date limitations.

Page 26: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

- Results can be seen in External Event tracker, Live Query Tracker, or in the same window.- Historical results are seen in the same window and can be transferred to a Report window.- Technical Query file can be used for Strategy testing.

Its important to understand conditions for forming a query.1. Rising / Falling for last N Bars.2. Upward Breakout and Downward Breakout.3. Above, Between, Below (value).4. Cutting Avg Upward / Below.5. Above / Below avg for last N Bars.6. Above / Below avg by x%.7. Entering Overbought / Oversold8. Exiting Overbought / Oversold.9. In Overbought / Oversold.10. Above / Below Zero line.11. Crossing Zero line upward / downward.12. High / Low / Close – Above Upper band.13. High / Low / Close – Below Lower Band.14. Turn Up /Down in last N bars.15. Using the Nth Back Bar option In all conditions. Etc.

Strategy Testing – For Details Refer to Help button in Strategy Testing.- CURRENTLY STRATEGY TESTING WILL CHECK DAILY CHART/PERIOD Only.

Strategy Testing System is divided into 3 parts.1. Creating the Strategy and Testing it on a group of scrips.2. Study Optimization - Optimizing every Study Parameter for maximum profit.

3. Portfolio Optimization - See your strategy perform in real life situation.

Page 27: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

1. Creating the Strategy and Testing it on a group of scrips.- Create conditions- Classify as Long ENTRY, Long EXIT, Short ENTRY and Short EXIT.- Enter Starting Equity (eg. Rs.1,00,000)- Select Test (From Date) and (To Date)- Entry / Exit Rate = Days Close or Next Days Open. - Entry / Exit Slippage % (is the logical variation on entry, can also include brokerage)- After Slippage – Rate should be within Days High-Low range. (Disable if you arethinking of using brokerage as this allows the prices to go above the high of day or below low of day.- Entry Stop % - Stop loss percentage- Profit Stop % - Maximum Profit Targeted.- Use Trailing Stop Loss – Yes then,Initiate Trailing stop loss at x% - Minimum Profit after which Trailing stop can start.Trailing Stop – After Minimum Profit is achieved % of Stop loss to be maintained.

Test on smaller groups first.

2. Study Optimization - Optimizing every Study Parameter for maximum profit.- Once Strategy is Run- To Optimize it further - Select the Study. Then select the parameter to optimize.- Give values range.- Select a Scrip to optimize it further on.- Press Run.- Once Run check which parameter is giving best returns.- Double click on the parameter and it will update automatically in STUDIES Tab the selected parameters.

3. Portfolio Optimization - See your strategy perform in real life situation.- Once a Study is optimized. Use select a group and see how it will work in Real life.- The buy will be generated and the amount will be taken out and stock will be taken inthe portfolio.

- Stocks will keep adding and getting sold as per the price movement till the STARTING EQUITY is not exhausted or the final test completion date is not reached.On the last day it will be assumed that all stock in Hand till the last day will all be sold.

Derivative Analysis (with all the Live Derivative features)

What is Forward contract ? - The concept of buying Gold in advance at pre decided date and price.

Standardization of Futures Market through regulators.- For Equity , Commodity as forward contracts were not controlled.

Understanding Futures Contract- benefit of buying a Future over a stock is that you pay only a Margin and not the entire amount of the value of the qty purchased.- Then why not use the Margin in Intraday and trade in Equity ?. Future is a extended Intraday.- Near , Next and Far month contracts. Trading in all contracts are possible.- Near month contracts are most liquid as more speculation happens in short term. As soon as near month nears expiry the Next months contracts are traded more and Near month become less liquid.- Rollover in Future indicates that once the Near month is nearing expiry you tend to close the position in Near month and enter the Next months Contract.

Understanding Volume v/s Open interest - (Reports > Derivative Summary Report)(Reports > Derivative Open Interest Report)Both these terms viz. 'Volume' and 'Open interest' are applicable to both futures as well as options.

Volume/Qty = No. of shares transacted over a period(ex: day).

Page 29: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

If trader A sells 1 share to trader B, the volume is recorded as 1. If Trader B sells his 1 share to trader C, then the volume count increments to 2.

Open interest = No. of outstanding contracts for a particular contract(Future/option, strike price, expiry, underlying)

If trader A sell an option contract to trader B, then volume is recorded as 1(explained above) and Open Interest increases to 1. If trader B sells his option to trader C, the volume increments to 2 but Open Interest remains at 1.

Open interest changes only when positions are added/closed, irrespective of the no. of trades.

However, volume increases irrespective of change of open interest as and when the contract is traded.

Strategies with Open Interest1. Rising Open Interest and Rising Prices. - Bullish IndicationInterpretation: Gives the Indication that At higher prices more Positions are being built up. This shows a bullish tendency in the market hence, there is a higher Probability that the Prices will go up in Near future. But it should be noted that this is a probability and not a 100% indication of the prices moving upward in future. It should be noted that OI Rising or Falling will also depend on Contracts Expiry dates. Hence the strategies used with OI and Prices are not absolute buy / sell indicators. More analysis is required before actually taking a position. 2. Falling Open Interest and Falling Prices – Reversal indication3. Rising Open Interest and Falling Prices – Bearish Indication.4. Falling Open Interest and Rising Prices – Reversal Indication.

Term “COST OF CARRY” : ( seen In Futures) (Reports > Derivative Summary Report)The cost of carry is the cost of "carrying" or holding a position. The cost of carry generally refers to the risk-free interest rate that could be earned by investing currency in a theoretically safe investmentThe Futures Price = Spot Price + Cost of CarryIn general, the Futures price is greater than the spot price. In special cases, when cost of carry is negative, the Futures price may be lower than Spot prices.

Page 30: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

Term “PREMIUM & DISCOUNT” : (In Futures) (Reports > Derivative Summary Report)Premium = Futures Price > Spot PriceDiscount = Futures Price < Spot Price

Profit & Risk of Futures Trader.Gets Unlimited Profit Potential (until he sells)Profit = (Market Price of Futures - Purchase Price of Futures) x Contract Size

Can also face Unlimited Risk. (until he sells)Loss = (Purchase Price of Futures - Market Price of Futures) x Contract Size

IRIS provides Contract-wise Future chart and also Continuous Future charts. Continuous charts gives long term impression. Many Analyst generally prefer Contract-wise chart as it gives the correct built-up of a contract from the time the contract started.Option charts are only for the period of the contract.

Understanding Options (Call and Put)

It gives the right but not the obligation to sell.When Bullish – buy Call optionWhen Bearish – buy Put option

Terms explained.Strike Price : It is the price at which the stock will be bought or sold when the option is

exercised. Strike price is used in the case of options only. Generally in Indian markets traders do not follow the concept of “Exercising an Option”. We follow European method where its automatically exercised on the Contract Expiry. Traders generally just buy an Option and Sell it when the premium rises.

Premium : The price paid to acquire the option. The charts of Options actually show the rising or falling Premium value.

Page 31: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

Put & Call Ratio : Volume of put option contracts / Volume of call option contracts.When the Put/Call Ratio is high (meaning more puts are being traded than calls) it means that the sentiment is bearish and vice-verse.If the value is...More than 1 - Then Put Volume is more than Call Volume.Less than 1 - Then Call volume is more than Put Volume.

Moneyness - “Moneyness” of an option indicates whether an option is worth exercising or not i.e. if the option is exercised by the buyer of the option whether he will receive money or not. Moneyness of an option should not be confused with the profit and loss arising from holding an option contract. It should be noted that while moneyness of an option does not depend on the premium paid, profit/loss do. Thus a holder of an in-the-money option need not always make profit as the profitability also depends on the premium paid.

In the Money In the Money - An option is said to be in-the-money if on exercising the option, it would produce a cash inflow for the buyer. Call – Spot Price > Strike Price.Put - Spot Price < Strike Price.

Out of the Money

An option-holder will not exercise the option when it is out-of-the-money.Call – Spot Price < Strike Price.Put – Spot Price > Strike Price.

At the moneyFor Call & Put - Spot price = Strike Price

Example of Buying a Call Option.For the buyer of a Nifty 5650 call option.

Page 32: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

As the spot Nifty rises, the call option is in-the-money. If upon expiration, Nifty closes above the strike of 5650, the buyer would exercise his option and profit to the extent of the difference between the Nifty-close and the strike price. The profits possible on this option are potentially unlimited. However if Nifty falls below the strike of 5650, he lets the option expire. His losses are limited to the extent of the premium he paid for buying the option.

Understanding Options CalculatorPress ALT+O, It will automatically pick values from the chart. Interest Rate and Volatility has to be entered properly to get the right figures.For Volatility, the Implied Volatility can be calculated by entering the Option Price.The Interest rate is usually the risk free borrowed rate of interest prevailing in the market.

Delta Delta value measures the rate of change of option value with respect to changes in the underlying asset's price. Example When the call option is deep in-the-money and has a delta of 1, then the call will move point for point in the same direction as movements in the underlying asset.Delta is always positive for calls and negative for puts.

VegaVega is typically expressed as the amount of money per underlying share that the option's value will gain or lose as volatility rises or falls by 1%.

Theta, (Yearly)The amount the Option will loose as per day passes. (rate of decay).Theta is almost always negative for long calls and puts and positive for short (or written) calls and puts.

RhoThe amount the Option value will gain or loose as interest rate rises or falls by 1%.

GamaThe rate of Change in the delta with respect to the change in the underlying asset price.

Derivative Scrip Summary – Is a single window where you can see entire information of a particular scrip. eg. Select Nifty and you will see all the Futures data. Near, Next Far (Call and Put) options.There are filter tools also available to see only the information which the user wants to see. (Alt+O)

Page 34: Manual Notes for Iris Plus

Derivative Open Interest Report. - Automatically shows the list of stocks in Derivative where it matches the Open Interest filter conditions. This allows the user to find out the best possible contracts at a click of a button.

Option CalculatorHow it works ?Open a Option Chart and Press Alt+O

You will see that automatically most of the details are already filled in.Stock Price = Current Price of the underlying stock.Strike Price = Current Strike price of the Option contract.Annual Interest = x% (is the Risk free interest rate) (Manual)Volatility = (annual volatility of the asset) (Manual)Dates – From and To dates come automatically to calculate the “Days to Maturity”.“Press Calculate” - The Option greeks are updated.

To calculate Implied VolatilityOption Price – Enter the Current Option price of the Call or Put.Press Calculate – Please note while calculating Implied Volatility the other values aretaken from above (Excluding Volatility)
