5paisa
Pros:
1.) excellent customer service..they give you the mobile number of your relationship manager which incidentally is also your dealer. So if your software stops working you can call them immediately and place the order.
2. Online help desk: where the reply is also prompt.
3. Reasonable brokerage: Initially i paid like 40 paisa for delievery and 5 paisa for futures, but now i have negotiated it to 30 paisa for delievery, and 3 paisa for futures. There option's brokerage, however, is pretty high, 50 rs per lot, i guess you can negotiate that also.
4. There software Trader terminal, pretty good. Fast order execution. Net P and L for the day ( perfect for a day trader). Square off facility. Charts with techincal indicators in them.
Cons:
1. When the market is volatile the TT hangs...you have to manually change the server again and again to get the live data back in the terminal. but nowadays they have web version and they have sorted the matter to a great extent
they charge minimum per share and 15 rs on outgoing (selling from DP)
minimum per share is very costly for shares below 100rs. for example if you buy a 10 rs share and yr MPS is 5 paisa then yr cost will be 5paisa as brokerage, now if u buy a penny stock of re1 then yr brokerage becomes 5%, thts a major negative for indiainfoline
secondly, i had an account with them but stopped trading for last 2 yrs, now i wanted to revive the same and wanted to reset my online account and transfer my account to other branch but till date they have not activated the online account (after 6 months of mailing), so service is very poor
it means it is impossible to get yr branch transferred and also to activate a dormant account
hence we need online site with good speed and execution, no MPS and Minimum brokerage per day. also btst and stbt is important
can seniors throw light on that
