Suppose an FII want to buy RELIANCE shares. Do they place the buy order on the same order book as on which, I place my sell order for RELIANCE. That is to say when I see the market depth of RELIANCE, does that data contains the orders by FIIs also?

Or they have separate FII/DII window like bulk/block deals window?

@nithin Can you please answer this?

Unless these are block/bulk deals, all other types of trades happen in the normal market. So the market depth of any stock you see will contain FII and DII orders as well.

To know more on bulk/block deals check out.

bulk deals trades are also happen in the normal market. So the market depth also shows bulk orders as well.

am i right ?

Ah yeah. Only block deals don’t show up.

@nithin

To further expand on this thread, what are the different participants in Indian markets and what are their access channels?

Can you help confirm/correct this list:

1. Retail traders through retail brokers
2. HNIs through brokers / DMA
3. FIIs, DIIs through broker / DMA
4. Prop Desks, Market Makers, HFTs through DMA

Irrespective of channel – broker or DMA, the order book we see contains orders from all participants. Is that correct?

Is there any other channel except for the ones listed above through which one can trade in listed securities. Like Dark Pools etc.?

Also, how much would be share of each of these participants in terms of:

• Equity Ownership
• Daily trading volume
  • In Equity
  • In Equity Derivatives including Index Derivatives
