How To Create GTT Sell Order in Zerodha?

Finance Guru Speaks: This article will guide you on how to create GTT SELL Order in Zerodha.

Zerodha, as a Trading and Demat Account, has gained very wide popularity because of very low-cost trading and ease of use. 

If you don't have the Zerodha account, then you can open it through this LINK. It is very easy to open a Demat Account in Zerodha.

Please read the complete article. I have shared two Tips at the end of the Article. Please share and like this article for the constant encouragement.

GTT (Good Till Triggered) Orders for SELL: GTT Order for SELL is used to sell a Stock based on Trigger Price and Limit Price. Normally, we use GTT so that we don't spend too much time monitoring the prices of Stocks. Sell Orders are automatically placed to Exchange (NSE or BSE) based on our pre-defined price once they are triggered.

Trigger Price - Trigger Price is the price where Broker sends the Sell Order (once hit) to the Exchange.

Limit Price - Limit Price is your actual Selling price where you instruct your broker not to go lower than this price for Selling. So Exchange will settle the Selling at this Price if a Buyer is found. And the Seller will get the transaction settled on (T+2) day on this selling price.

Steps to place GTT Sell Order in Zerodha:-

1. Login to Zerodha after clicking here. Provide your User ID, Password, and then your assigned PIN to Login.

Zerodha Login

Zerodha Login

2. On the Home Page, Click on the Orders -> GTT -> New GTT as shown below:-

How To Buy GOLDBEES Gold ETF in Zerodha?

Finance Guru Speaks: This article will guide you on how to Buy GOLDBEES (Gold ETF) in Zerodha.

Zerodha, as a Trading and Demat Account, has gained very wide popularity because of very low-cost trading and ease of use. If you don't have the Zerodha account, then you can open it through this LINK. It is very easy to open a Demat Account in Zerodha.

Please read the complete article. I have shared the relationship between Stock Market (Nifty) and Gold Prices. Please comment, share, and like this article for constant encouragement.

To begin with, buying Gold ETF means buying Gold in Demat form. It can be sold later on the NSE or BSE Stock Exchange. Gold is used for Hedging your Portfolio and it provides the necessary diversification.

Steps to Buy GOLDBEES Gold ETF in Zerodha:-

1. Login to Zerodha after clicking here. Provide your User ID, Password, and then your assigned PIN to Login.

Zerodha Login

Zerodha Login

2. On the Home Page, go to the Watchlist on the left-hand side and Search with the keyword GOLDBEES to buy the Nippon India Gold ETF which is also known as GOLDBEES, and click on B button. You can select any exchange (NSE or BSE) for buying. :-

How To Buy GOLDBEES Gold ETF in Zerodha

3. On the Next Screen, fill in Buy Order details as shown below. To keep it simple, we are buying 1000 units of GOLDBEES at a buying price of INR 41.10.

With INR 41.10 as your Buy Price, you need to pay a Total Amount of 1000x41.10 = INR 41,000 to the Seller.

It is a positional order, meaning we are not buying this Call Option for Intraday Trading. It is mainly for investment purposes. 

Once you fill in all the details, click on Buy button:-

4. Once you click Buy, your Buy order gets placed in the Exchange.

Congratulations! You have successfully placed Buy Order for GOLDBEES. You can cross-check your newly created Order from Orders -> Orders list. This Order gets executed as soon as Exchange finds a Seller at your requested Price.

Sharing relationship between Stock Exchange and Gold Prices:-

In a theoretical manner, there is an inverse relationship between Gold and Stock Exchange. When Nifty or Sensex goes up, the prices of Gold go down or stay in a tight range.

Whereas when the Market crashes, investors tend to invest more in Gold for safety and diversification. Gold is used for hedging purposes and provides stability to the portfolio.

The below chart shows the Price Movements of Nifty and GOLDBEES on a Monthly chart. It is clearly evident that both move normally in the opposite direction.

However, due to more and more awareness regarding investments and diversifications, Indian Investors keep on buying Gold ETFs on a regular basis via SIP mode. 

To buy GOLDBEES at low prices, keep investing a small amount whenever Nifty goes up by 200 to 300 points. This way, you will accumulate Gold at cheaper prices. And, when Nifty crashes or gets into a bearish mode, you can start booking profits by selling your GOLDBEES units.

Top 10 Companies with Large Market Cap, Zero Debt and High Promoter Holdings

Finance Guru Speaks: This article will provide Top 10 Market Cap Companies in India with High Promoters Holdings and Zero Debt.

Benefits of Investing in such Companies:-

1. Market Cap: As they have large Market Capitalization, they often have deep pockets to invest in their further growth and better chances to withstand a financial crisis. Their trading volumes are also high which gives chances to Investors to enter or exit smoothly. You can have more chances of getting Dividends from such companies. 

Market Cap is calculated as No. of Shares outstanding in the Market multiplied by Current Share Price.

Market Cap* = No. of Shares in the Market X Current Price of one Share

*It keeps on changing based on No. of Shares outstanding and Current Share Price.

2. High Promoter Holding: Who can understand a Company better than its Promoters! If Promoters Holdings are constant or increase on a quarter by quarter basis, then it can be considered as a company with good Management. You can worry if Promoters Holdings keep reducing over a period of time.

3. Zero Debt: Companies whose business model allows them to operate with Zero borrowings are self-sustainable. Such companies are also favorites of Investors. Companies with high debt can bust if they can't generate the profits on a consistent basis. 

Below is the list of Companies having Large Market Cap, High Promoters Holding, and Zero Debt:-

Last Updated on: 23-Apr-2020

Note: Just to draw your attention, out of these 10 Companies, HDFC Life, SBI Life, HDFC AMC, and ICICI Prudential Life Insurance companies are listed fairly recently on Sensex/Nifty as compared to the other 6 Companies. So, track them properly before you decide on investing.

I hope the above list will be useful for you in making your investment decisions for the long term. 

Always consult your financial adviser before committing any investment in the Stock Market.
