@ZERODHA:
I can’t help it ….I have enough reasons to respond to what Mr. Ravi Chandra has presented as a comparison between charges by Indiabulls and Zerodha…and considering the number of THANKS he has been able to generate(8,it includes one by me also) I have some serious reasons to bust the myth being propagated.
First of all @Mr. Ravi Chandra …a trader/investor couple active in the markets for the last 4 years trade @10 paisa(.1%) in the futures segment…I can understand it …Any trader will tell that nowadays no one trades for more than 5 paisa(that too if someone is new to the market)..generally any trader shall be able to negotiate @3 paisa/2paisa..
Again. Mr. Ravi Chandra has presented a beautiful contract note …he looses only Rs. 1871 trading with Indiabulls @ an exorbitant brokerage of 10paisa and he looses Rs. 2413 trading with ZERODHA @ Rs. 20/lot…The minimum I expected from Mr. Ravi Chandra was to have presented a contract note where to say the least he made some money…lesson: one can never make money just because the brokerage charged is less and his contract note is a beautiful admission of whatever I have written in my earlier post to ZERODHA..Mr. Ravi should seriously thank Indiabulls because comparatively he lost Rs.542 less at Indiabulls..and to add further Mr. Ravi would also like people to follow him in the Turning point by Neha and Ravi….reasons to follow him are adequately presented in the contract note where he looses 2413+1871=4284 in 2 lots of NIFTY….at least I would like to thank you for your honesty.Now please do not tell that it was a carried over position …as an afterthought…and that ultimately you made a lot of money…Now Mr. Zerodha…would you like me to compare the charges with ICICI where one lot is charged @5 paisa and second leg Rs. 15..and ICICI is rumoured to be the one charging the highest in the broking fraternity…..
@Zerodha…won’t like to elaborate it further as I know you would have understood ..at the same time you make immense sense and a great value for money but to compare your charges by giving these sort of illustrative example which are far removed from the real world of trading…and again this type of brokerage being paid by a person who claims to have been in the market for last 4 years…makes for a good enough reason to question the credentials of the person and the actual intent behind it..:lol:
No need for such extreme examples…I have understood the entire value proposition brought by you and and I will be shortly opening an account with you…I have been taking feedback on NSENOW terminal as my real concerns lie there and till now overall the feedback has been good….and ZERODHA is here to rock the world…please understand one thing…the actual traders will be able to see through both…the absurdity of example given as well as the immense value ZERODHA brings as far as brokerage is concerned..Count me in….I will be with ZERODHA shortly but of course not because I am impressed by some illustrations as presented earlier..:clapping: .
@respect investor,
Don't paint everyone with the same brush!!! We are trying to do this business in a different way... We have told so many clients not to switch to us just to sell 5000 Rs of delivery shares... We let go of 4000 prospects from Infosys, because these guys were looking at Zerodha to sell 5k worth of shares... With us they have to pay amc for demat, whereas icicidirect was letting them to do it without any amc....We explained the math to those guys and let go of the business...
About the contract note, If we had to post it as a comparison, do you really think I would have done a comparison of trading 1 lot of nifty ??? At 1lot of nifty, the stamp duty component with us is the highest because of the Karnataka Stamp duty act...The math you gave with icici, nifty@ 5000, 0.05% at buying would be a brokerage of 140(considering selling side at 15)...transaction of : Rs 10, Service tax of 15, STT of 50, and stamp of 10 adding upto 225 and not the 165 you mentioned.... Also as I said, for this trade stamp duty with us will show so much more bigger(Rs40 more) and this will keep reducing as and when you put more trades.... So, considering your same example, if a client was from Blore and had placed the same trade(stamp duty was the same), he would have paid around 260 as brokerage with icici and 160 with us...A guy who trades only 1 lot will probably have a trading capital of 50k in his account, In a month(25 trading days) considering the smallest trade he would have still saved 2000 to 2500 in brokerage( 4-5% of his trading capital).....
Coming back to the comparison, If we had to really put up a comparison contract note, I would have put up a trade of 10 lots, which would have shown brokerage with say an icici at Rs 1500 and Rs 40 with us... Would have looked so much better wouldn't it???
Walk into an indiabulls office and tell them that you want to trade the markets and pretend to be a newbie and know nothing about the brokerages. You are a brokerage target to the RM who meets you at his office...walkout with a trading account and do a trade, you will realize that by default he is going to put 0.1% for f&o trades, if he realizes that you know nothing about the business...That said, there are also a lot of people, who never really question about the brokerages and let the RM's take you for a ride... I have had instances where clients believe because a broker lets him trade nifty at 10k per lot intraday he can charge him 3 times more and etc..Seems unreal for a lot of us, but happens.. Strange things happen at a lot of these midsized brokers...... This way icicidirect is much better because they atleast post on the website what they charge.....
If you click on the traderji id, you can view all the posts put by that particular person....Ravi is probably one of the only few guys on this forum who doesn't hide behind pseudo names or id's...He shares his trade ideas, good or bad, and I don't know if I also could do something like that...Letting go of ego and being able to do it is not a small deal.... I am very sure, if you share your email id, he will definitely forward you his contract note...Not that he has to, but it is not fair for you to question someone's integrity...
Low brokerage is not the only USP we have... The way we serve our customers is also pretty unique...Keeping up with this we are venturing to a newer bunch of things in the next few months, which will definitely help traders in general....
If you have the patience to go through the thread, I have always posted that, money management and trading strategy are the most important things to trading... That said, your cost also is a very important component!!!...A lot of threads discuss about trading strategy and money management techniques...
I understand that you want to add value to the forum, but right now it feels more like you are just looking for a confrontation....This thread is being used for me as a rep for Zerodha to be interacting with clients and prospects to understand how the business works with us and answer any queries regarding the same...Will appreciate, atleast for this thread that you stick to the same...
