Iceberg Order

Definition of Iceberg Order

An Iceberg Order is used to slice and execute large orders into multiple “legs”. Large orders have the potential to drastically affect stock prices and subsequently investor behaviour.

That’s why institutional investors or traders with a relatively large buy or sell order place an Iceberg Order, thus masking their total transaction value and effectively going under the radar.

Brokers and trading platforms offer Iceberg Orders as a feature, which is activated after a certain quantity of scrips or contracts are selected, typically above 100.

Adjusted Futures Price

An adjusted futures price shows the cost of purchasing, financing, and delivering the underlying assets of a futures contract.

The adjusted futures price is calculated by multiplying the price of the underlying asset by the number of units to be delivered (known as the conversion factor).

Bureau Of Indian Standards

Bureau Of Indian Standards (BIS) is responsible for standardizing and certifying goods and services from third parties so that the end consumer knows that the products are safe and reliable.

BIS was established in 1986 and was rebranded from the Indian Standards Institution (ISI) to BIS during the year to adapt to the changing product landscape of India.

Hedging

Hedging is a risk management technique where potential loss is offset by securing a safer, more stable trade. For example, buying stock (risky) and offsetting the risk with commodity (stable) is a common hedging practice in the securities market.

In the derivatives market, hedging is followed by merchants and businesses who want to protect against adverse price movements in commodities or currencies. They do so by entering into a futures or options contract.

Commodity

A commodity refers to physical goods and raw materials like aluminium, cotton, copper, sugar, steel, zinc, and others. Commodities are an essential part of the day-to-day life of individuals, companies, and industries.

But they can’t be traded like stocks in India. Instead, a commodity trader will enter into either of these three contracts to secure commodities or benefit from its price fluctuations:

  • Futures contracts
  • Options contracts
  • Cash contracts

These derivative contracts are traded on commodity exchanges in India like:

  • Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX)
  • Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX)
  • National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX)
  • National Multi Commodity Exchange of India (NMCX)

Intrinsic Value Of Share

The most common method include discounted cash flow while adjusting the time value of money to calculate the present value of the stock is also a popular method.

Gross Domestic Product

The Gross Domestic Product is an economic measure of the financial value of all goods and services produced by a country during a specific time period.
