Hi sjjayakumar,
I am going with sharekhan for quite a few months. I am mostly a day trader and sometimes go for short term trades. In day trading you generally involve a big turnover (buy+sell) but gather less profit compared to it. So your brokerage goes big. If you are planning to go with intraday, you can take 6000 rs amc pack (ID- 2.5p Del- 25p) and start trading with sharekhan. Terminal (Trade tiger) is good enough with handsome number of tools. Charting is a bit primitive with fewer number of line studies and indicators, but auto-refreshes very frequently. I think it is enough to bag your profits. Oh yes, I have seen the software crashing sometimes, but not often. Main advantage with sharekhan is that their server never falls down. So no chance of missing a good trade. Unlike many other brokers, here you can utilise the whole market hours, the cut off time is no less than 3:30 sharp. Margin to DP auto transfer at EOD is also a good funda. Online fund transfer works fine. Dial-n-Trade is good. Helpdesk is a bit sloppy
, but they have somehow managed to solve my queries when I needed them. Has several minus points, everybody has, but it's not bad to work with. After all it is a broker who is maximum talked about
