- Algorithmic tradingAny order generated by automated execution logic rather than typed in by a person — software that pushes buy and sell orders into the exchange once its parameters are met.
- Securities Transaction TaxA central government tax collected by the exchange on the sell side of every futures and option trade — 0.05% of futures traded value, 0.15% of option premium, and 0.15% of settlement price on exercise.
- Unique Client CodeThe single code a broker assigns to a client once KYC is complete, mapped to that client's PAN and demat account, under which every one of the client's orders must be entered on the exchange.
