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.
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 Files
During 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.zip
If 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.
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

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.

Part B:Live and End of Day Features:The objective is to ensure that the executives are aware of the USP features. Good for
Marketing and Support Executives for demos and retention respectively.
Tick Query
The most unique and important feature for all types of Intraday Traders. The Tick Query keeps a continuious watch on the
market tracking all the major Buying and Selling in the stock market. All trades of high volume are automatically tracked to
show you which stocks are being bought and sold the most. Using the Tick Query you can easily identify which stocks are
attracting the traders interest today.
How to use the Tick Query ?
IRIS classifies each trade as a Buy and Sell. You might already be thinking that if there is a buyer then there is also a seller at
that price. But IRIS uses a formula (based on Bid/Offer) to identify who is more aggressive in the trade the Buyer or the Seller.
Using the Quantity and the Value filters Tick Query can track every single trade for all the stocks. The Tick Query will help you
track every Buy and Sell trade with heavy volume. This can be done for All Scrips or for a specific Group.
It is important to note that these are trades of very high volumes. Meaning , these are trades done by big brokers, institutions
and other high networth players in the market. Also you can easily identify bullish and bearish tendencies of the market.
Event Selector
The market reacts sharply at certain price and volume events. The Event Selector has a list of such important price and
volume events.
You can select the events that you feel important and automatically keep tracking it live during the market. Most common and
popular events being..
BULLISH > High of Day
BEARISH > Low of Day.
Pivots are also included in Event Tracker.

2. Study Optimization - Optimizing every Study Parameter for maximum profit.
- The buy will be generated and the amount will be taken out and stock will be taken in
the portfolio.
- Stocks will keep adding and getting sold as per the price movement till the

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 Interest
1. Rising Open Interest and Rising Prices. - Bullish Indication
Interpretation: 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 indication
3. 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 investment
The Futures Price = Spot Price + Cost of Carry
In 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.
Term PREMIUM & DISCOUNT : (In Futures) (Reports > Derivative Summary Report)
Premium = Futures Price > Spot Price
Discount = 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 builtup 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 option
When 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.
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 money
For Call & Put - Spot price = Strike Price
Example of Buying a Call Option.
For the buyer of a Nifty 5650 call option.
