Price action is the movement of the price of a security plotted over time. Traders who study price action make trading decisions based on the analysis of raw price movements, which often includes patterns, swings, and support/resistance levels rather than relying on traditional technical indicators. Price action analysis is the skill of interpreting the sentiments and activities of the market by reading candlesticks, bar charts, and volume data.
Forex Futures Trading
Forex futures trading is the buying and selling of exchange-traded futures contracts for currency pairs . A forex futures contract gives the holder the right and the obligation to buy or sell a pair of currencies at a predetermined price and date. The important components of forex futures trading include:
- Forex pair: the currency you will buy in exchange of the other at the end of the futures contract
- Lot size: the value of the currency included in the contract
- Contract price: the price at which the futures contract is trading
- Spot price: the latest forex rate for the currency pair, different from the contract price
- Margin: the amount of money you’re required to deposit with your currency trading platform
- Tick size: the minimum amount by which a forex futures contract can move, which is Rs. 0.0025 in India
- Expiration date: the preagreed day on which the contract must be excercised or squared off
Forex futures trading in India is possible through three exchanges: NSE, BSE, and MSE. The forex futures contracts are standardized derivatives that can be traded between 9.00 AM to 7.30 PM. Forex futures in India are cash settled, meaning profits or losses are settled in INR while the base currency is not delivered.
Exit Load
Exit load is a type of premature withdrawal fee that mutual funds charge. The goal of charging an exit load is to ensure that investors think twice before exiting a fund, as premature withdrawals can affect existing investors.
Every mutual fund charges a different exit load based on the discretion of the fund manager. ETFs, liquid funds, and other debt funds typically have little to no exit load whereas equity funds do.

Over-Allotment Option
An Over-Allotment Option, often referred to as a Greenshoe option in the Indian primary market, gives the underwriters the right to sell more shares (usually 15%) over and above the original IPO size if there is strong demand. If the share price drops below the issue price, the underwriters can use the proceeds from the extra shares to repurchase shares in the open market for support. If the price goes up, they exercise the option and sell the extra shares to the market. This mechanism is regulated by SEBI in India, and the primary purpose is price stabilisation.
Accrued Expenses
An accrued expense is the cost that is incurred in the current accounting period but is due to be paid in the future.
More simply, an accrued expense is an unpaid bill due in the future for goods or services that have already been received by a company.
Accrued expenses show up as liabilities on a company’s books.
