Dabba Trading, also known as bucketing or parallel trading, is primarily used in the Indian context. The term "Dabba" translates to "box" in Hindi, metaphorically representing this trading practice's secretive and unregulated nature.

The FINNIFTY, also referred to as the Nifty Financial Services Index, is a well-known gauge that monitors the performance of the Indian financial services sector. Comprising 20 carefully selected stocks, the index assigns weights to these stocks based on their free float market capitalization.

A secondary market is a financial marketplace where investors buy and sell existing financial assets like stocks, bonds, and derivatives. Unlike the primary market where new securities are issued, the secondary market facilitates trading among investors. Stock exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) markets are common platforms for secondary market transactions.

A stock split is a corporate action where a company divides its existing shares into multiple shares. In a stock split, the number of shares increases while the overall value of the company remains the same. The split is typically done in a specific ratio, such as 2-for-1 or 3-for-1, meaning each shareholder receives two or three shares for every one share they previously held. Stock splits are often carried out to increase the liquidity of the stock, make it more affordable for retail investors, and potentially attract more investors.

Reversal candlestick patterns are chart patterns that indicate a potential change in the direction of a price trend. These patterns are formed by specific arrangements of candlesticks on a price chart and are often used by traders to identify potential trend reversals and make trading decisions. Examples of reversal candlestick patterns include the hammer, engulfing pattern, doji, shooting star, and evening star.

IOC (Immediate or Cancel) in the share market refers to a type of order that instructs the broker to execute the trade immediately and either fill the order entirely or cancel any unfilled portion. This means that if the entire order cannot be executed immediately, the remaining portion is canceled rather than being placed on the order book. It allows investors to prioritize immediate execution over partial fills or extended waiting periods for the complete order.
