RKSV, I'm planning to open a commodity trading account with you within the next 15 days. I have some questions regarding this.
Hi Natjay,
Please find replies to your queries.
1. Your downloadable print forms are orange in color (some text, motifs, highlighted bars). Is it okay if I print the form in grayscale?
Yes, no issues. You can print the form in grayscale.
2. I'm KYC compliant and my details are registered on CAMS KRA. Do I still have to send page 4 of the commodity form (this is the KYC form) or can I simply start from page 5 (Trading Account Related Details page)?
If any of your KYC details like mobile, address and email details have not changed then you do not need to send page 4 i.e KYC page.
3. While researching discount brokers, I noticed that one discount broker has their servers co-located at the exchange. Is your infrastructure similarly co-located as well? How important is this for live trading?
No broker is co-located with the exchange at their actual building for retail trading. It's only for DMA and Algo trading users (link:
https://www.nseindia.com/membership/content/connectivity.htm). If a broker says he's colocated, he can only use NSE NOW. Those aren't broker systems, so that's why they're allowed to be at the NSE building.
Our data centers are the closest thing possible to the NSE -- we're on the same road as them just 2 kilometers down from their exchange at a Tier 3 facility. This is very important because it reduces the latency between the time taken to send an order from the broker to the exchange.
4. Is Upstox ready-to-go for the MCX segment as well?
It should be up by end of August. You can sign up for it now and then get it enabled automatically.
