  • Buy or sell order at market price
  • Target order to square off & book profits
  • Stop-loss order to limit loss

Liquidity Trap

A Liquidity Trap is an economic event where the general public stashes cash in their bank savings account instead of investing in bonds because of the assumption that a rise in interest rates is imminent, even though interest rates are low.

Bullion

Bullion is used to refer to gold, silver, and other non-ferrous metals that have been designed to have high purity. These metals are generally molded into bars, coins, and other valuable items.

Discounted Cash Flow

Discounted cash flow is a method of valuing a company in the present based on future cash flows. An investment may be profitable in the present if the discounted cash flow is above the current cost of investing.

The formula to calculate discounted cash flows is:

DCF = Cash Flow Year 1 / (1+r1)^1 + Cash Flow Year 2 / (1+r2)^2 + Cash Flow Year N / (1+r)^n

52 Week Low

A 52 week low is the lowest closing price of a stock or ETF in the last 365 days. Let’s say you check a stock’s history on 01-01-2022. Then the 52 week low will be the stock’s lowest closing price between 01-01-2021 and 01-01-2022. 52 week lows are used as technical indicators by traders.

American Option

An American Option allows the contract holder to exercise the right any time before or on the expiry date. American style options contracts are not available in India.

Fair Value

The fair value of a stock, product, or service is the price at which the buyer and seller willingly agree on without being on the losing end of the deal. Think of fair value as a win-win situation for both parties, assuming that all conditions are normal.

Say Mr. Apple is offered to buy shares of Mr. Orange’s company at Rs. 1000 per share. Mr. Apple evaluates the business and figures out that he can sell the same shares for Rs. 1200, even though Mr. Orange is content to sell the shares at Rs. 200 lower. Both parties agree on the deal at Rs. 1000 because both view it as a good deal.

The formula for the fair value of a stock or index is:

Fair Value = Cash * { 1 + r (X / 360)} - D

Where,

Cash = Latest stock or index value

r = interest rate on purchase

x = number of days to contract expiry

Dividend = Dividends

The definition of fair value is slightly different in the futures market. In the futures market, the fair value is reached when the supply meets the demand, which simply means that the spot price is equal to the futures contractprice.

However, due to inherent volatility of the markets, the price of a futures contract is known to fluctuate around the fair value of a stock or index. Thus, in the fair value in the context of futures is what the price of the contract should be, given the value of the stock or index, dividends, and others.
