Zerodha - Number One Discount Broker in India

I dont know what the fuss is about stamp duty. Already Zerodha is working on wafer thin margins.

If we can spend the same time on our trades rather than this stamp duty, we would probably be earning twice as much.

On another note, if Zerodha were to bring in a word class charting software like Meta trader 4 (which they say would be out in a few months), I wouldn't mind paying Rs 30 or more per trade.

The future of the brokerage business is going to be all about cost and advanced software and I guess Zerodha has realized that and is working on it.

LOL, stamp duty is a huge issue, i can understand Zerodha does not want retro charges, but its not a trivial issue.

U are not from TN are you?
 
Thanks for reply. But it's wrong answer :) as BIRLAPOWER though is in the BE category is not an illiquid scrip as per the criteria of illiquidity provided in the circular. So it doesn't belong to call auction category.
In my specific case, the order was placed at 9.00.01 am which got rejected while another 3 orders got accepted (open) with the same exchange entry time.
Anyway I got the probable answer from NOW team ;) though placed in NEST.
Thanks again !
Huh? and u didnt share the answer or am i getting something wrong.
 
Thank you for your observation and comments. Zerodha will reply only,if they are in a position to do so. If they do not reply,it will reveal about fairness of their dealings,which I have already experienced.
He already replied and offered to call you, word to the wise, don't trade over ur head or acct and u wont get liquidated.
 
Hey ravi

Instead of making sweeping statements and bragging about how good it was in US for you, why don't you tell us specifically what is your problem with Zerodha.

As for now it seems from their response that they were quite right in squaring off your position.

We all certainly want our broker to have good risk management in place . . . its essential to protect us . . .

Cheers

:) Happy
you are a pretty sharp dude, bin noticing ur posts, thanks for putting this misguided individual in his place.
 
Hope you know Who this trader was? He was an employee of JP Morgan and not someone like you or me having account with the broker.
there is no difference if its a trader or a customer ..... do you see why?

i would have personally bin leery if they DiD Not square ur position off, it puts my money at risk, do you see why?

look im not picking on u, just try and see the logic povided, im not ing to do te work for u, u will he to read my fed, gluck.
 
Ravi Bhai, I have nothing against you but I am very glad that this interaction happened and the out coming result is that I am very much satisfied with my broker Zerodha's RMS policies.. Not allowing pyramiding of positions safeguards' the interest of other clients... Remember that you are not the only client of Zerodha.. Our money is also invested with them..
boom! well spoken

Hi, Zerodha,

Just for a suggestion,

You can think of some lower margin facility for intraday option sellers. Here the risk is less, If someone want to sell a Rs 40-80 options to pocket a 6 - 10 premium within intraday in range bound days.

But the margin required to do such trade is equivalent to MIS at least, which is even much more than cover order.

But you can easily, see here even a cover order type margin like Rs 7,000 means 140 pt loss within intraday is more than enough for Rs 40-80 priced options.

If you could find a way to reduce margin for such less risky (not positional) option trades many one can benefit. It is clearly not possible using cover order (for options) but you can find other way. It is possible using the MIS code while Option Selling, you can give lower margin facility. May be with your new terminal. Your RMS Team can consider that case. Such facility will increase your turnover also.

===============
Just for idea for one nifty option intraday selling [under MIS code, auto square off 3:20 PM] you can block fixed Rs 5000 per lot (100 per unit) and no credit for sold position. Stop loss like cover order is at 100 pt difference at market order.
You can block another Rs 1000 extra per lot (extra 20 pt beyond stop loss market) as option price is more volatile or you can reduce max stop loss to 50 or 80 pt while fixed blocked margin is Rs 5000


It is clearly possible to implement if NSE don't objects. It is safe also for brokers. Zerodha is known for innovative ideas. :)

Best Wishes.

Hey price, thanks for the research on various topics and ur posts in this thread.


EXCEPt :} for this one, which borders on insanity.

3 points out of 50

1) option selling is the riskiest form of trading, bar none.

2) lol, u mean someone at zerodha will pre determine "range bound" days

3) every brokerage firm that does go broke, gave out too much margin (to themselves or their customers) at some pt.


If im wrong or have misunderstood, i apologize.



Have a good week everyone.
