ZERODHA ! PLS HAVE A SERIOUS WORD WITH NOW TEAM.....i know u guys are trying hard to sort out these issues...

wow! strong words. Do take a look, Zerodha team. Same problem with many people cannot be a specific issue with the computer

Though I doubt Zerodha can do anything about it. Its not in their hands.

Now is running smooth for me from the beginning.May be people didn't requested ini file from zerodha guys.they mail as soon as you request it.May be that is the problem.Or too many applications running on the system.I have 3 year old hp pavilion intel core 2 1.6 ghz and 1 gb ram windows xp service pack 2.the only applications running will be now software and icharts on google chrome.
Am I doing something right unknowingly or is this an exception in my case?
What ever it is I pray it continues smoothly for me as it is the case presently.

NOW or NEST as its largely known, has always been the most bloated trading terminal I have used till date. Price freezes, disconnections/reconnections were common when I was trading with Way2Wealth. Their terminal had realtime charting unlike NSE NOW however the number of open charts were restricted to four. Oh, and there was no live charts for indices either. The pluses of NOW/NEST are obviously trade execution speed "if" the terminal is behaving the way we want it to.

Anyways, a new release is due so lets wait and see if it adds up to the suspense and supposedly high expectations of customers who want world class trading terminals without having to spend a paisa, no AMC charges and the terminal should automatically make money for them. Suggest buying a Cray and handing it over to a Goldman Sachs chap to monitor it

Its pointless raving and ranting at Zerodha. They have stuck to their promise of giving their customers a stable platform to place trades at ridiculously low brokerage. As for the comparison with Diet ODIN, its akin to comparing apples and oranges. Am logged on to Diet ODIN of RKGlobal and mind you, their service has really improved over the months but I faced a total of 6 disconnections from 11 am onwards today.

If you have faced 6 disconnections today in RKG ODIN, that too after 11 am, I think the problem is with your internet connection. Today RKG ODIN had not a single disconnection since 8:45 am and it's running smoothly till now. But problems like price freeze happened once. So check your net connection first. Moreover these days we can get index charts in ODIN which was unavailable earlier. BTW, I thought BSNL is the worst ISP. Now I found another (hope you don't use BSNL ).

Guys, friends, traders:

The whole concept of Zerodha was arrived at because we as traders were going through innumerable issues relating from technology to costs to knowledge. Our goal is to make a better environment for traders.

We are closely working with the NOW team to help resolve this issue of freezing.

About margin trading: It has become necessary for us to advance our 'admin square off' time by 10 minutes due to various risk factors associated in the markets. We will change this once those risks are taken care of.

We know there is a lot to be done in terms of improving the infrastructure for the trading community. We are working towards that and over time I'm sure you'll see results. Thanks for your patience and continued support.

You mean to say that we should be satisfied with disconnections, and freezes, because we are not paying an AMC for the software, and because Zerodha is charging less brokerage? And if we demand that, we should buy a cray? That means that its up to the whims and fancy of NOW to let professional day traders execute their strategies?

And whenever we have big positions in the market, and we want to move our position, we may or may not be able to, because we dont pay a few hundred rupees a month as AMC?

Where do you get these ideas?

Or are you one of those 1 lot trades, trading once every few days?

Active traders punch upto 100 orders and more per day, and maybe depending on markets 10 to 20 of them are executed. But if you have to worry about " Will I be able to cancel the order when I need to " I doubt a professional will appreciate even the least bkg in the world.

I understand that improving NOW is BEYOND the scope of Zerodha, as they are not supervising it. So lets all criticize the NSE Team. But saying that " Grin and bear it " is bullshit.

so many promises made by zerodha when they started off. but sorry to say that almost all promises were NOT taken care off. To say the least check your own web site; it has not changed since ages; all you see is "coming soon"....Now, square off time is pre-poned to 3 pm and also many might not be aware of this: required margin to buy/sell FUTURE stock/index lot (for intraday) is now 40% of the total margin required to hold the position. Earlier the margin was less and was 50% of the span margin. Is this the case the of horse becoming a donkey?

My friend, most professionals dont trade beyond 3 pm. And its in the interest of the trader that the auto square off is done, because we are still in corrupt india, where infrastructure is like almost non existent. So, its safer, for both, Zerodha as well as other clients that the positions are squared off around 3 pm.

Same for the margins. We dont want zerodha to go down under because of a few big traders. Safety for all

Their bkg is like " " no words to put in the brackets. So, they have delivered all that they have promised. Now all that remains, is that they maybe break free of NSE NOW and offer something like PIB.
