Before people jump into any conclusion about as to why I have been so critical of Zerodha and my tone and tenure can definitely offend anyone (including Zerodha)..My sincere apologies to Zerodha If my writing has hurt them…and as I can be hurt… definitely even Zerodha can be hurt…Its not about settling scores with anyone..no one is here to settle scores..we are not enemies or adversaries..Most of us in the Traderji Forum are simple traders ..trying to make attempts to become a profitable trader…that’s it…In my last post I had written that I will write some good things about Zerodha…so that Zerodha does not have a feeling that I am here with some ulterior motives..
New to this world of Trading I agree that I may have written something which may be factually incorrect…but even being new to trading I have taken pains to understand the Trading Business..
Let me write something about quite a few noticeable brilliance of NEST TRADER (Zerodha refers it as Zerodha Trader)..Having seen both NSE NOW as well as Zerodha Trader…I can give a logical analogy..Both of them are the best trading platform available to the trading community as of today..and I am not writing this based on some assumptions…rather I do have exposure to most of the trading platforms which are available in the market today…be it Power India Bulls of Indiabulls/Indiainfoline/Kotak (Keat Pro I guess)/Sharekhan/Motilal Oswal/ICICI Direct etc…The set of Brokers I have referred above..all of them have their own Trading Platforms..and none of them come close to the performance of NSE NOW/Zerodha Trader….I repeat there is a big difference…The rates refresh fastest in both these platforms compared to anyone of the so called established Brokers or what some people may call as reputed Brokers…Extremely sorry to say.. all these established Brokers are miles behind NSE-Now or Zerodha Trader…in terms of speed of execution as well as the real-time quotes being refreshed… So Zerodha not only heralded a revolution in the Broking Industry by giving the most competitive rates but also delighted us by giving a platform (initially NSE-NOW and now Zerodha Trader)…So Zerodha’s forward march can not be attributed only to the superior brokerage offering…but also to a superior trading platform…
Now next comes the reliability of Trading Platforms…NSE-NOW and Zerodha Trader both of them have a distinct advantage here also…At the same time being a Technology Based offering..even NSE-NOW as well as ZT a few times have given some anxious times to the people trading with them..and they can not be faulted here..because any technology can not be 100% perfect…and why I write this ..because another important aspect is lost when people like me start blaming Zerodha for any issue arising out of some technological Gltches..which can happen with any Trading Platform…and this can be understood by the entire trading community who had the privilege of trading with any of the so called established or reputed broking firms…The reality is that the amount of issue generally people face with all the Big names in the industry is nowhere close to a bit of inconvenience one may have with NSE-NOW or ZT…so again even in the terms of reliability of a trading platform…Zerodha scores and I reckon every entity which has been using NSE-NOW..they also have a distinct advantage here…
Now coming to what Zerodha Trader has on offer…As far as ratesrefreshment of rates and order execution is concerned there is no difference..but there is quite a few features available in ZT which I reckon is unparallel…may be Interactive Brokers would be somewhat close to it in this..but since I do not have any exposure to it…I can not comment..still IB is an Internationally renowned Broker..so its imperative that they may also have features which Indian brokers generally do not have…Here again what Zerodha has done is immensely commendable…and no one comes close to it…
One of the features like cover order is distinctly superior to what any other Broking firms provide..leverage is a double edged sword ..at the same time…if someone is good in this art Zerodha again has the Best offering…of course it can always be debated whether this leverage is good or not..at the same time..the leverage which is on offer due to Cover Order facility is among the best in the industry… I appreciate this endeavour of Zerodha which is definitely a boon for professional traders..of course not for novices like me…still they have something which is not available with majority…If one wants one can use it..if one does not want one is free not to use it…
Recently they have tied up with Global Data feeds and Amibroker ..and one can shoot orders directly from Amibroker ..This is definitely a class act..at least for professional traders who understand the dynamics of this trading business…and again none of the Reputed or established Brokers provide this world class innovation or Technological Superiority which Zerodha has demonstrated in its quest to delight us with superior product and superior Technology…
With time I am sure they will also be able to enable Bracket orders..another world class act..and going by the different features available with Nest Trader like Trigger Buy price or Trigger sell price..about which I am not sure whether they are enabled at present or not…and I am sure all these features will be available very shortly..
Consider another advantage of Nest Trader or Zerodha Trader..I will give an example by comparing it with Keat of Kotak…if one wants to know how much one is ahead or behind in the race..one needs to go to another menu..and then quotes are not visible..with ZT Quotes are available along with Admin Position as well as Order details and its on the same screen..I consider it another innovation which is a class apart..No need to go to any other menu..on a single screen everything is available..
I would be doing a disservice to Zerodha if they consider me as someone who has been troubling them….No not at all…Because I very well understand the importance of superior Technological platform which Zerodha has provided…I have earlier also written I LOVE YOU LIKE I HATE YOU AND I HATE YOU LIKE I LOVE YOU…and You have actually delighted the trader community with you Technologically Superior offerings and gone a step ahead by coming up with Nest Trader which is If you take my opinion a class apart from NSE NOW also..which also I recommend highly because it is superior to majority of the offerings in the market…
Boss I am a novice..trying to get a feel of this trading world..aiming high..whether I succeed or fail is another matter..I have written this just to tell you that I am actually in awe of Zerodha…and my writing a few things should not be taken otherwise that it is with may be some ulterior motives..no not at all..Definitely new to this Trading world but wise enough to see the superiority of your Technology and the innovation Zerodha has been constantly making in their effort to delight us…World class offering at such a low cost is still acceptable to me ..and Zerodha has excelled in every Dept. ….I have talked in such a rude manner to its customer care..and the way these people handled me..It ended with me apologising for my rude behaviour..How I can forget these sweet gestures by the team of Zerodha..I may have some opinion on something…at the same time it does not mean I have anything against Zerodha..NO..not at all….
I have written this lest I may be misunderstood as someone bent upon breaking the harmony prevalent in this group…Zerodha you have delighted us with your superior offerings..YE DIL MAANGE MORE…this is my only fault…nothing else..at the same time I see things in totality…not with coloured frames…Overall Zerodha does have a value proposition difficult to be matched by anyone..Hope it clarifies to an extent what my unnecessary barbs may have generated in the minds of a few..I am a novice trader..trying to make two ends meet..at the same time trying to be successful in my endeavour..thats it..nothing beyond this
Regards and Happy Trading…..NJOY EVERYBODY…:thumb::clap:
