Re: Evaluate your Broker before Account Opening- Check List & Evaluation Results Upda
As said before if you are looking for discount broker who has there own DP then there is only one broker Tradesmart
I thought they are like wisdom capital, kinda franchise. If tradesmart is a broker, who is VNS here?
1 Know about Broker history & it's Management?
12 SMS Notification-Every Transaction / Day End
1. Any idea how can we do this other than digging up online?
12. Is this special service or common for all brokers?
1- Physical address of the Registered Company.
2- Visit to Physical address.
5- Exchange membership no. and type of membership.
6- No. of Empoyees. Best to list city and support staff for different
exchanges.
7- Time frame for payout and pay-in.
9- Instruments available for trading. (Ex: MCX brokers will usually not let you trade certain products, infact will not even know all the products, learned the hard way)
10- RMS system and in cases of their mistake, response and reversal time frame.
12- Ph. no.s and accessibility of top brass incase of requirement.
1, 2 & 6. Something not possible for everyone. Almost all of the discount brokers have very few branches. Visiting them in person may not be possible. May be guys from Delhi can do this and post their views here...
5 & 9. This is something trading member put the information in nse site. Exchange is not taking any responsibility if there is any discrepancy. (source. "Find member" from nseindia). If you know any reliable source, please let us know. (correct me if I am wrong)
7. Payin is always instant.
10. I don't think brokers do take responsibility and do compensate clients. At least I haven't heard so before.
12. Even if we ask, I don't think they will give the contact nos. Unless or until you are giving lot of business. But again with discount brokers and fixed monthly subscription, all are equal when it comes to this.

I really wonder this many people bother about leverage for futures and options. They are already a leverage instrument, handling the risk is already a lot for small traders (I assume most (I mean really most) of us hear are small traders).
Guys don't jump on me for saying this. May be I don't understand the depth of your need of leverage
For those who wants to know the transaction charges if the broker is also a clearing member (FO).
Futures 185/crore + service tax
Options 5000/crore + service tax
