Finance is actually very simple, but it’s made to look complicated to justify fees – Morgan House on fool.com
Dear Traders & Investors,
The digital age has transformed the way in which we perform our daytoday activities – be it reading books, watching movies, or trading stocks.
Technology has penetrated in every aspect of our lives. In recent years by leveraging the power of technology, there has been a revolution of sorts
in the field of education. A new term has been coined – MOOC, which stands for ‘Massive Open Online Course’. Under the MOOC initiative,
one can access the world’s best courses offered by distinguished professors from the most renowned universities. Be it Professor Joshua D. Rauh
– Professor of Finance at Stanford Graduate School of Business, or Aswath Damodaran – Professor of Corporate Finance at New York
University’s Stern School of Business, or Professor Robert Sedgewick – Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University.
All these distinguished professors, along with many others, are available online, giving their valuable time and sharing their deep insights for
FREE. Yes you read it right, for FREE. They organize highly structured ‘classroom like’ courses and give it away so that people interested can
benefit from it.
At Zerodha we took inspiration from the MOOC world to attempt solve some of the biggest problems concerning the Indian Capital market:
Lack of knowledge – Lack of knowledge prevents new entrants from participating in markets. Amongst the existing participants, a vast
majority participate with limited knowledge
Access to knowledge – High quality knowledge related to markets, though available in India, is limited to few who can afford it.
In our humble attempt to solve the above two issues, we take great pride in introducing our new education initiative – ‘Varsity @ Zerodha’.
Varsity is powered by a simple but extremely powerful motto – knowledge, like other elements of life, should have no ownership. Therefore, high
quality education should be made accessible to anyone and everyone without any financial obligations.
Keeping this motto as our guiding force we plan to introduce each and every topic related to markets, explore it in a highly structured and detailed
fashion, and offer it to everyone interested.
Staying true to Zerodha’s tradition, Varsity is an unique offering, and here are a few highlights:
It is online – Varsity is always available to you on demand. This means you can read through the high quality content anytime you wish!
It is responsive – which means you can access Varsity from any device – computer, tablet or a smartphone
It is well structured – We call each main topic as a ‘Module’ and each module has several chapters within it. Within each chapter we
discuss topics that are relevant to the main module
It is engaging – To make the chapters engaging we have included real examples from the Indian markets and also some really cool
illustrations
It is interactive – If you have any queries after reading through the chapter, you could clarify the same by posting a comment at the end of
the chapter. Your query will be answered in no time
It is Free – Like all our initiatives, Varsity comes absolutely free of cost!
Here is a snapshot of a module and the many chapters within it:
Technical Analysis Module
And here is a quick preview of the different modules we have lined up for you:
Introduction to Stock Markets
Technical Analysis
Fundamental Analysis
Futures Trading
Option Theory for Professional Trading
Option Strategies
Markets and Taxation
Currency, Commodity and Interest Rate Futures
Risk Management & Trading Philosophy
Building Trading Strategies & Systems
Financial Modelling for Investment Practice
Programming for Traders
Every topic that we think is important for you to know, be it basics of stock markets, Technical Analysis, Investing Strategies, or Volatility
Arbitrage using Dynamic Delta hedging – we will have it all on Varsity.
To begin with, we have the first two modules ready for you. We are currently working on the third module (Fundamental Analysis). One by one
we will add all the modules in a way that it all makes sense.
I’m certain whether you are an amateur or a thorough professional, Varsity has something to offer you, and remember – Knowledge has no
ownership and hence it should be available to you with no strings attached!
Karthik Rangappa from our team has taken a special interest in developing Zerodha’s Varsity . His passion for markets and education puts him in
a unique spot which helps him create all the content on Varsity. He has been active in the Indian markets for over 10 years. He strongly believes
that trading and investing is not a gift you are born with, but a skill that can be developed over time. Through Varsity he aims to prove this!
Karthik holds a Masters Degree in Risk & Asset Management from EDHEC Business School, France and a Bachelor of Engineering from
Bangalore University.
So before you decide to pay for an expensive market related course make sure you check on Zerodha’s Varsity! Go ahead explore Varsity, spread
the word, and help the Indian Capital Markets be a much more informed and knowledgeable trading place.

Nithin .. if you remember I sent across a personal message to you perhaps 2 years back requesting you to create a knowledge base to help
traders/investors because it will serve 2 purposes – folks will take better and informed decisions and doing so will increase their
trading/investing activity which would be beneficial for Zerodha as a company!
Whether or not varsity is a direct product of my suggestion, I thank you for starting this initiative .. Both zerodha and its investors shall
soon reap the benefits!
I just have another humble suggestion: It would be REALLY GREAT if all the material is in the form of videos (something akin to Khan
academy) .. video lessons will illustrate subject matter better and will help in the knowledge transition faster. Lastly, it is a documented fact
that video lessons are far more effective and retained for a longer period of time that text.
I sincerely urge you to consider the above proposition and make the entire transcript video based!
Hoping that you give some thought to the above idea
Cheers!
Saurabh

In Zerodha brokerage calculator, (F&O OPTIONS) It’s showing brokerage as Rs 40 (2 trades, buy & sell) for small value turnover also. For
example, I put BUY40 rs, SELL41 rs, QTY100. For this turnover will be Rs 8100. For this transaction Brokerage is showing as 40
instead of 0.01%. Can you pls help?
¶Reply
Nithin Kamath says:
Gopi it is Rs 20 or 0.01% of the contract value whichever is lower. Though the option premium value is only Rs 8100, the contract
value could be over 4lks. So Rs 20 works lower. It is not possible to run a business as a brokerage charging 0.01% of premium value

Hello,
Hope this is will be published as you will get feedback from others too. All the said initiative is good but trust the sole purpose of opening a
account with Zerodha is to buy & sell stocks. But on most days I cant do the same using your crap trading tools. I face issue on a daily
basis with your Mobile application & even your website (trade.zerodha.com). You have the worst mobile application I have used from all
the brokers. It rarely works properly between 9.15 to 10.30 & 1.30 to 3.30. The same is the case with your trading website. Trust you would
be aware many people like me may not at all times have access to your desktop application. Also, few times I tried to use the desktop
application, it takes ages to reach the trading screen. To top it all, when such a issue is going on, you call & trade service is also always
busy since obviously all users must be facing the problem hence they too might be calling. I am sure I am not the only one facing such
issue as twitter is full of tweets with such issue.
Today, on a expiry day, the whole day I faced issues with all your trading platforms & the call & trade facility. Because of this, I was unable
to catch on handsome profits today on MRF Future contract. I have suffered because of your poor service in the past too.
The service after getting to your executive on call was also not that great as they could not even properly confirm if the position is squared
off. On asked to transfer the line to some senior, I was told that they are busy. Never seen such kind of customer service where such a reply
is given to a customer.
Using your service means that I have to cope with the anxiety of if you applications will work or not along with price movement anxiety.
Before taking time for such initiative, please get your act together & trading platforms & service in place since we all are here to trade in
the first place. I am very near to moving out all my funds & move to some other service provider. Do remember reliability is very important
in broking business.

Prasad Shetty

Nithin the new NEST CHARTS are crashing whenever i change the interval from the top panel where it mentioned “set interval” ..
10 out of 10 times the software has crashed showing the message
¶Reply
Hanan says:
Have you updated to the latest version of Nest Charts from our downloads page? If you have, it should work without any hassles.
If you haven’t uploaded to the latest version, please follow these instructions:
1. Download Nest Charts from our Downloads page, unzip the folder, open the folder and copy all the contents of the folder.
2. Go to C://Program Files/Omnesys/NEST3 or C://Program Files(x86)/Omnesys/NEST3 and paste all the copied contents into it.
3. While pasting the copied files, you will get a prompt “Confirm Folder Replace” for which you have to choose “Do this for all
current items” and click on Yes.
4. Once you’ve clicked Yes, another prompt to Copy File would popup for which you have to tick “Do this for all conflicts” and then
select the Copy and Replace option.
¶Reply
karan says:
hanan sir yes i did the same thing …followed these steps mentioned in the email that i got from zerodha …. the simple
problem here is that whenever i open the nest chart and change the interval from 1 min to either 5 or 10 or any other then the
software crashes … this has happened every time i have done that … i think i should call the zerodha support team and show
them this issue and then they could do something to solve it ….

Nithin and all at Varsity team,
Really eagerly waiting for the options module to come up .. Would love it if live trading videos are attached to the module with step by step
explanations .. Having heard so many evil things about derivatives, I am stuck on delivery trades and not able to take a leap of faith ..
material on internet has not helped either as they are not very detailed. When this bull market is over, I want to participate in the downtrend
as well but lack of knowledge on options stops me from doing so.
PS: In the meantime if you folks can suggest some alternate reading material then that would be great!

hi nithin , i just want to know that as today i am watching on my zerodha account that on bfo on weekly expiry , there are options, like
adani power put of 34 , there is total turnover of 1.05 crore rs , but on screen there is no buyer and no seller , suppose i also want to write
that option , how can i do that, asking the question here because i am expecting a clarity from you.
¶Reply
Nithin Kamath says:
January 8, 2015 at 12:48 am
Most of options trading on BFO are prop trades (done by brokers itself) and not retail turnover. If you don’t see any bid/ask, the only
way is to place a limit order at a price and hope that it gets hit. But Vicky, my advise for you would be to avoid illiquid options,
especially when you are writing them.

but thats ok , if i loose money due to my fault its ok but if i loose money because of somebodys fault , is it right ? is there any thing by
which your company will not square off the position and wait for atleast on that day itself { you have also done trading for a long time , i
hope you will find a solution to this thing also}, another thing i want to know that suppose i loose big money , is there any legal remedy
available for the investors whose money has been lost { like in emkay traders fault} , and one more thing does national stock exchange
have done anything new by which such incidents will not happen in future ?

It was a delight being a part of Zerodha family. Amazing to see this new initiative. I wish you all the best & thank you very much for his

I would like to suggest you 2 things which will help to all beginners in stock market ocean.
1) Please define/provide the path or steps which will help beginners to become a good trader. Like what types of books need to read. What
to read first?
2) How to control /overcome on Emotions / trading Physiology.
I have seen the IB (Interactive Brokers) trading platform. When can we expect the similar Zerodha software? We are ready to pay few
amount for that but please take initiate to develope such software.
IB gives facility to trade live from charts & also keep trailing stop loss on charts itself. Quality of charts is extremely fantastic. Share Khan

Buy 8500 putt at last day of expire of price .05 and sell .10 of 3200000
So can I buy or not?
And what is that total charge of zerodha?
¶Reply
Nithin Kamath says:
June 29, 2015 at 9:01 am
Yes you can, brokerage will be Rs 20 per executed order for buying and Rs 20 for selling. Exchange has an order limit of 10,000
nifty at a time, so to buy 320000 you will have to do it in 32 different orders. So your brokerage will be Rs 32×20 = Rs 640 for
buying and Rs 640 for selling.

understanding, Audited vs Unaudited financial reports, Limited review reports, Understanding Share holding patterns, How to make
decisions on the basis of earnings report etc would add extra brain to the knowledge of investors. I request you to add one more module for
this topic at the earliest.

Hi Zerodha/Nithin,
Greetings for the day!
Where can I know the “Short interest % or Short Percent to Float” for a particular NSE stock and its “Days to Cover”
(data similar to the one that is found for US stocks on shortsqueeze.com)
I scanned a lot on NSE, but couldn’t find anything like that… I am desperately searching still. If not that exact data, maybe something
similar that will indicate the short interest & Days to cover would be great…
Hope you will definitely be able to help in this.
Thnx & regards…

Nithin Kamath says:
I don’t think this can be done for Indian markets, short positions on stocks are not allowed to be carried forward overnight. The
SLBM market is quite inactive and limited to only stocks on F&O. The only thing you can do in INdia is look at F&O open interest
of a stock vs the free float and try to deduce bullish/bearishness. But in F&O since for every long there is a short, you will not be able
to say what is the short interest.

Thnx Nithin…
How about the ratio of Deliverable Qty vs. Total Qty Traded (data given by NSE)?
Does that provide some valuable info about the stock movement? Can you explain how to interpret this ratio, please..
Do we have facility of STBT (SellTodayBuyTomrw) with Zerodha? How to go about placing a STBT order (if yes)
¶Reply
Nithin Kamath says:
January 28, 2016 at 11:38 am
No STBT with Zerodha. Hmm.. don’t think deliverable vs total traded is of much use. If market has moved high with
less deliverable volumes it is not as convincing as it is when it moves with much higher deliverable volumes. Vice versa
when stock falls.

February 4, 2016 at 1:13 am
what happens to the amount which is excess of required margin when market goes down making a loss more than margin amount
Ex: At present Nifty requires 44,000 rs to buy say 1 lot(100).I have Rs 88000 in my trading account.Next day market opens down by 440
points and still going down..i am incurring 44000 loss when it opens.
My question is the moment loss crosses 44,000 will my position be squared off and my trading account be left with 44000 Rs or my entire
Rs 88000 will be eaten up and position still in active state will be eaten up and position still in active state
¶Reply
Nithin Kamath says:
February 4, 2016 at 9:54 am
The entire Rs 88000 will be at play, so no position will be squared off unless your account balance drops to say around 35000 (from
the current 88000).

Hi Nithin & Team..Please help me with the query..
Expiry time in case of currency options is 12 noon.. suppose I have Rs. 1 lakh as total margin based on which I sold some out of money
currency option to pocket the premium. Suppose around 12 noon on expiry day it settles as out of money only.. Now I want to sell some
equity options on same day. I wanted to know by what time after 12 noon can I use the margin blocked because of currency.
Thanks in advance
¶Reply
Venu says:
April 26, 2016 at 1:30 pm
The margins don’t get released till the end of the day despite the contracts expiring at 12:30 pm. So if you wish to get the margins
released and use them to short Equity options, you’ll have to close positions before expiry.

Hi Nitin,
I am a professional trader and i have a team of traders. We trade and teach on weekends. We personally believe that trading can’t be learned
online & it requires mentoring.
We have a common goal that we want to spread Financial Literacy in India. We as a team are looking forward to go into collaboration with
Zerodha for the same. We are based in Mumbai.
Looking forward for your reply & fixing a meeting too.
Thanks & Regards,

Hello Nitin/Zerodha,
I am very new to trading and have found this varsity very helpful in understanding the concepts theoretically. My question, Is there any
tutorial on how to use the software to trade using Zerodha ? Meaning, tutorial explaining the basics to advanced trading steps considering
an example with screen shots. This is because, every time as new beginner, I cant call the customer support to place an order. If such a
tutorial is in place as to how to use the software for trading, I can learn by myself and start placing orders to buy & sell shares.
Moreover, there is no online classes from Zerodha to know about how to use its software to trade.
Thanks.
