3 points
1) I have been trading at zerodha since last thursday, on all days (last six of them, the first time i didnt even know 'backoffice'), i have not received the backoffice update till at least 9 pm (which is supposed to be the last time for expiration days), most of the time 11pm. This is a HUGE disadvantage for any serious trader journalling his trades, the day gets extended by 6 hours for no reason.
2) I had the same software issues on tuesday, having said that, the amibroker charts along with ZT are working excellently for me, the speed being unreal, something i did not expect, so great job. (Even though am in a loss, but thats my fault, the software has been great, barring any further mishaps like tuesday).
3) I have 5L (approx) in my acct, today, i tried to do a trade for 20 lots and got blocked on my last 5 lots due to margin reasons, this last point does not effect me really as i dont lever tht much usually, i was just trying to stretch a move (allowed me 900sh = 18 lots), i understand 25k 30 k and all that, but intraday do we nor get 12k or 13k margin? Or am i neglecting a choice to click?
Point 1 is my main concern for now, ty.

About backoffice, there must be something you are missing, it was all done by 6.30 and contract note sent by 7.
For margins, if you need additional margin, use product type as MIS while placing trades.
