Zerodha - Number One Discount Broker in India

I am a newbie in this and dont know what thoses codes mean
( in Add scrip > settlType )

What should i enter in Exchange/settlType/search text - to get say 10 year gilt yields.

Thanks
Firstly you'll have to figure out whether its trading on NSE.. There are various Bonds that are available for trading:

The link shows you the series for each of the bonds trading in the Cash market of NSE..You'll have to select the relevant series type in SettlType and add the Bond as a part of your market watch and then buy..

Thanks, now i can see corporate bonds but not government securities.
Can they also be traded in NSE? ( i wont trade on them but want to view them in market watch sometimes )

Edit : I tried to search but did not find gsecs, although i see in rbi site that gsecs can be traded in NSE by retail

Yeah, I guess trading in GSecs isn't allowed.. I think that forms a part of the Wholesale Debt Market..

dear zerodha any update on this!

in this regards sharekhan trade terminal scores over every other terminal! many unique, imp and helpful features in TT of sharekhan in this regards are:
  • in one single line in main window (just over marketwatch) you can see on RT basis - margin/booked m2m/ongoing m2m for all segments..simply wow :thumb:
  • infact if ur m2m goes in negative, the same amt is getting subtracted from margin left on RT basis. double wow! so if you have 50k in your margin and you take a nifty trade which takes 30k margin for example, in a second when the trade is executed, you will see your limit changed to 20k :thumb: if your m2m goes in negative by 5k, the same will get reflected as 15k in margin left on RT basis! so u knw tht nw u cnt take another trade!
  • in click you can see margin blocked for every trade taken!
  • in mkt watch ZT trader doesnt give option of %OI change. only absolute OI feature option is there. this is again a v imp feature for traders which is provided in TT of sharekhan!!

if zerodha focuses on these kind of s/w interface, it will be really beneficial to everyone of us!

btw zerodha - any plans of adding these features in your new s/w

how come zerodha is costlier compared to sharekhan

can anybody from zerodha pls explain, how come zerodha is costlier compared to sharekhan where i pay 0.01% as brokerage charges! even for more than 1 lot buy/sell of contracts, zerodha is costlier.

i have attached herewith my original contract note where i sold 1 lot of rpower. compare it with zerodha calculator where final cost comes to be 92.74 compared to 72.51 :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::annoyed:

everything is self-xplanatory here! pls have a look and xplain :mad::mad::mad:
