    Upper Circuit is the limit (percentage) upto which a share can go high in a particular day.
    eg. the UC limit is 5% for STC
    so if it is 1000 bucks today. It can go maximum by only 5% or 50 rupees on this day!Ithe share gets locked and no more buying can take place.
    2- What is BTST?
    Buy today sell tommorrow

    1. What is Short?
    To understand this first look at Long, Long is when you have bought a stock, when you think that the stock would move upward. While Short is when you have sold a stock(even if you dont own it), when you think that the stock would move downward.
    You cannot carry stock short beyond intraday, but can carry short position in futures and options.
    2. What is Position?
    When you buy and sell a stock you are having a 'position' in those stocks. Either long or short.

    Issue of shares at par or at a premium by an existing company to its share holders in a certain proportion to their holdings,as a matter of their right to receive preferential treatment. Its different from IPOs.
