    Birth and growing up of DSE

    The need to develop a new stock exchange in Bangladesh was realized by the government of

    Bangladesh ever since Calcutta Stock Exchanges had stopped the transactions in Pakistani

    shares and securities. The Dhaka Stock Exchange basically started with the formation of the

    Provincial Industrial Advisory Council. The Provincial Industrial Advisory Council soon set

    up an organizing committee for the formation of a stock exchange in East Pakistan. A

    decisive step was taken. The second meeting of the organizing committee held on the 13th

    March,1953. In the Cabinet Room, Eden Building, under the chairmanship of Mr. A.

    Khaleeli, Secretary Government of East Bengal, Commerce, Labor And Industries

    Department. In this meeting various aspects of the issue were discussed in detail. The

    proposal of the then central government was to open a branch of The Karachi Stock

    Exchange at Dhaka. But, this proposal did not get much favor. The meeting felt that East

    Pakistan should have an independent stock exchange. It was suggested that Dhaka

    Narayanganj Chamber Of Commerce & Industry should approach its members for purchase

    of membership cards at RS.2000 each for the proposed stock exchange. The location of the

    exchange it was thought should be either Dhaka Narayanganj or Chittagong. An organizing

    committee was appointed consisting of leading commercial and industrial personalities of the

    province with Mr. Mehdi Ispahani as the convener in order to organize the exchange.

    The chamber informed its members and members of its affiliated associations of the

    proceedings of the above meeting, requesting them to intimate whether they were interested

    in joining the proposed stock exchange. This was followed by a meeting, at the chamber of

    about 100 persons interested in the formation of the exchange on 07.07.1953. The meeting

    invited 8 gentlemen to become promoters of the exchange with Mr. M Mehdi Ispahani as the

    convener and authorized them to draw up the Memorandum and Article of Association of the

    exchange and proceed to obtain register under the Companies Act.1913. The other 7

    promoters of the exchange were Mr. J M Addision-Scott, Mr. Mhodammed Hanif, Mr. A C

    Jain, Mr. A K Khan , Mr M Shabbir Ahmed and Mr. Sakhawat Hossin.

    It was also decided that membership fee was to be Rs.2000 and subscription rate at 15 per

    month. The exchange was to consist of not more than 150 members. A meeting of the

    promoters was held at the chamber on 03.09.1953 when it was decided to appoint Orr

    Dignam & Co., solicitors to draw up the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the

    stock exchange based on the rules of stock exchange existing in other countries and taking

    into account local conditions.

    The 8 promoters incorporated the formation as the East Pakistan Stock Exchange AssociationLtd. on 28.04.1954. as public company. On 23.06.1962 the name was revised to East Pakistan

    Stock Exchange Ltd. Again on 14.05.1964 the name of East Pakistan Stock Exchange

    Limited was changed to "Dhaka Stock Exchange Ltd."

    At the time of incorporation the authorized capital of the exchange was Rs. 300000 divided

    8) Data Integrity: Data integrity is an integral feature of the architecture used. TESAemploys standard HP tools to achieve exceptional data integrity.

    9) Scalability: The ability of an exchange to accommodate extraordinary increases intransaction volumes without loss of its Capital investment in automation has made

    possible in the system. The HP NonStop Server is massively scalable due to

    Parallel processors.

    Initial and present condition of the system:

    DSE introduced Automated Trading System on 10th August 1998 to ensure transparency,

    timeliness and satisfaction in customer service. After this step, the trading floor moved right

    into the member's office premises where an investor started to place buy/sell orders. The

    Automated Trading System was upgraded two times. The recently Upgraded Trading System,

    started from 21st December, 2008 is capable to handle 1,50,000 trades per day as well as3000 Trading work stations. Previously DSE established the TANDEM NonStop K204

    System on September 1998 and on August 2005 it was replaced with highly scaleable HP

    NonStop S7802. DSE upgraded the Trading System again on 21st December, 2008. At

    present DSE Automated Trading System (HP NonStop S7804) is running on fault tolerant,

    high available, scalable and maintainable Mainframe Server. The existing server is highly

    fault tolerant to the fact that no single component failure will halt the system. Its constituent

    parts are hot swappable and upward compatible; components can be added or removed while

    the system is running and any compatible new upgraded will work with the system.

    All disk drives are mirrored so, if any of the disk crashes, the exact copy of the data is

    available at online. Moreover the connecting path for every disk whether it is primary or

    mirror is also redundant. In every case, minimum two peripheral devices exist. All the

    components are working active - active load balancing procedure. To ensure better power

    quality they have ensured high end UPS's with long durable backup capability, two instant

    backup generations and other electrical devices.

    NETWORK (LAN / WAN)

    All the Member (230 members) Server Applications (MSA) are connected with NonStop

    HPS-Series Server through either DSE LAN or WAN connectivity. Each member has one or

    more Trader Work Station (TWS). The TWSs are being connected to the Trading Server via

    respective MSA through LAN and WAN connection. Besides, DSE outsourced MetroNet

    Ltd., DNS Ltd. , X-Net Ltd., Dhaka Com Ltd., Ranks ITT, Link-3, Royal Green Online Ltd.

    Database Management Systems (DBMS). The Database functionalities are handled by

    NONSTOP SQL, which is simply a different operational session for the operating system.

    The proprietary nature of the system software arguably enhances system security.

    The operating system that is used in DSE is HP's proprietary NonStop Kernel. DBMS is

    handled by NonStop SQL. The system software treats all its hardware resources as objects

    and is thus entirely message driven. This then allows application software to be deployed

    using client / server architecture providing shared data processing between the central serverand the user workstation. The central trading system resides in the Stock Exchange premises,

    which is running 24 hrs in a day & 365 days in a year.

    APPLICATION SOFTWARE

    The application, which runs in DSE for trading, is called TESA (The Electronic Securities

    Architecture). TESA software is built for the global securities markets. It uses fault tolerant

    computers, intelligent workstations and client / server design techniques. This provides co-

    operative processing, high message integrity, continuous operation and fully automatic

    recovery. This co-operative mechanism enables very high speed processing which is essential

    for today's electronic markets.

    TESA has two parts: MSA (Member's Server Application) & TWS (Trader workstation).

    MSA is the "Gateway" between the traders and the Stock Exchange, which manages all the

    transactions and database operations between the traders and the Trading Engine. TWS is the

    Front-end Application closer to investors, where they can submit Buy/Sell orders for their

    desired securities.

    TESA is based on HP proprietary O/S & DBMS. It has developed in view of Distributed

    Database system. In the client site it is being using SQL as local Database. Trading Software

    is MSA & TWS. In STSD (Signal trader Single Database) system both MSA & TWS are

    running on a Windows 2k Professional /XP Professional workstation and for MTSD(Multiple trader Single Database) MSA install in a Windows 2k Server & the TWSs are in

    different Windows 2k Professional /XP Professional workstation-using members in house

    LAN.

    TRADING SESSIONS

    TESA conducts trading in-5-phases.

    Surveillance at DSE

    As the DSE is a trading site, all of the members are trading and money is flowing from here

    to there in the site. It is very necessary to find out whether there is any abnormal move. Thatis why DSE conducts continuous investigations about the traders and their trading. In-depth

    investigation based on preliminary enquiries/analysis is made into trading of the scrip. In case

    of irregularities observed, necessary actions are initiated or investigation case forwarded to

    SEC, if necessary through the CEO.

    The main objective of the Surveillance function of the Exchange is to promote market

    integrity in two ways -

    1) By monitoring price and volume movements (volatility) as well as bydetecting potential market abuses at a nascent stage, with a view to

    minimizing the ability of the market participants to influence the price of thescrip/scrips in the absence of any meaningful information.

    2) By managing default risk taking necessary actions timely.All the instruments traded in the market come under the Surveillance umbrella of DSE. These

    activities at the Exchange are divided broadly into two major segments -

    a. Monitoring the priceb. Monitoring the position

    These two are being described shortly here,

    a. Price Monitoring:Price monitoring is mainly related to the price movement/ abnormal fluctuation in prices or

    volume etc. The functioning of the Price Monitoring is broadly divided into following

    activities

    o On line Surveillance:-One of the most important tools of the Surveillance is the On-line Real Time Surveillance

    system with main objectives of detecting potential market abuses at a nascent stage to reduce

    the ability of the market participants to unduly influence the price and volumes of the scrips

    traded at the Exchange, improve the risk management system and strengthen the self

    regulatory mechanism at the Exchange. The system provides facility to access trades and

    orders of members.
