SEBI PAPER ON CAS IS OUT
* 5 topics with suggestions
* Deadline for suggestions is Oct 3rd

Read on.

1. F&O SETTLEMENT

Option 1: Use Blended VWAP
1. 30 minutes of normal cash trading + 10 mins of CAS
2. Weight depends on actual trading in each period

Option 2: Go back to old VWAP, for now
1. Use only last 30 mins of continuous cash trading
2. CAS trades would have 0 role in expiry settlement
3. Take a call on moving to Option 1 after 1 year

2. MARKET TIMINGS

Option 1
1. Normal cash trading for CAS stocks until 3:30 PM
2. CAS then runs roughly 3:31–3:40 PM
3. F&O trading continues until 3:45 PM

Option 2
1. CAS stocks continue normal trading only until 3:15 PM
2. CAS runs roughly 3:15–3:25 PM
3. F&O closes at 3:30 PM
4. Non-CAS stocks continue trading normally until 3:30

3. NO LIVE INDICATIVE INDEX VALUES DURING CAS

1. Stop showing the live indicative index during CAS
2. Individual stocks can still show indicative rates

4. CLAMP DOWN ON SPOOFING

1. Keep the overall CAS price band at ±3%
2. Orders within ±1% of ref price can be cancelled
3. An order > 1% away from ref price = no cancellation

5. BRING ICEBERG ORDERS INTO CAS
6. Any unexecuted portion of an Iceberg order at the end of normal trading would move into CAS
7. But it would become a normal limit order
