Well anyway I will tell you abot my observation Debanjan:
andd this is one missing element in SMARTTRADEONLINE'S Offering if filled will make them the Best Discount Broker...
In your trade with DLF you had paid Rs. 30 as Brokerage because you had done 2 orders...Here is where I expect SMARTTRADEONLINE to make changes ..like in ZERODHA ..where they charge Rs. 20 or .01% whichever is lower automatically...similarly SMARTTRADEONLINE should charge Rs. 15/order or .007% whichever is lower automatically....
By this I mean combining Rs. 15/order with .7 paisa lower of the two is charged...so in your case even if you had opted for Rs. 15/order since when you traded for lesser volume automatically .7 paisa should be charged...SMARTTRADEONLINE is good no doubt but if they combine Rs. 15/order offer with .7 paisa whichever is lower it would be good for people who trade less..and it won't affect SMARTTRADEONLINE much..at the same time for people trading less it would be a Big Relief...:thumb:
We had already thought of that and wanted to do it too. But some complications with our backoffice in this. Whatever is in our hands we try to be quick on that. But there are some things for which we have to depend on others (NOW, backoffice etc). They are all good and very supportive but sometimes could have different priorities compared to ours. They are like our wives/girlfriends. Can't live with them, can't live without them.
Sometimes we wonder whether Steve Jobs' approach of having a closed system and having everything from start to end (hardware, software) in your control is a better approach........There's no doubt Apple is highly successful but there are fewer examples of companies/people with that approach who are successful. So........
