Voices being raised against your extremely high transaction charges, Zerodha.....

Seriously, you are charging the highest amount per crore in India. Reducing it by 5o rs per crore is almost negligible.

There are threads on traderji actively discussing just your transaction charges.
Do look into it.

Hi Zerodha

I have two queries
1. i got an e-mail from zerodha regarding annual financial review for derivatives trading, is it mandatory to get the physical bank statement and mail you. Reason I am asking is that I have got no such mail from the other brokers I have account with.
2. One of my friends want to open a commodity account but does not have a PAN Card. He has DL and Bank statements. Can he open commodities account?
And how much he has to pay for account opening/can he send one cheque for margin and account opening?
About 1 I will tell you on Monday... Pan card is mandatory for commodity account

Since you are online, can we have a discussion on this topic too, Zerodha? Reduce your trnx charges, and you will force the other brokers to close their brokerages and start tea stalls and wada paav stalls. For sure.

I reframe my question
I have heard about BTST (buy today sell tomorrow). How the trade is done in BTST/STBT. Will you please let me know some details about it, if one has demat account with you. Further what will be the brokerage (.1 or .01)

I just want to know, how the trade is done is BTST/STBT (the procedure to follow from start, if it is different).
Stbt is not allowed even if u have a demat.. U can't sell stcks for delivery without holding it in your demat...
Btst is allowed.. U can buy today and sell it tomm itself ... The only risk with such a trade is that of auction... I have explained this on the thread, let me see if I can find the link...

@sumo, I read that guy who has posted the thread... He has also wanted 5 to 7 times margin for futures...

Would u want to be trading with a broker like that? The other day when nifty gave the freak tick of 5000 and if it had stayed there for a few mins, nse would have blocked all terminals of these brokers...

We are growing our business organically and a 5000 tick wouldn't put any great stress on our system..what I am trying to say is, yes it is a little higher, but there is a reason for that... One violent bear cycle and you would understand why you had paid a tad higher...that said, this is going to keep going lower...

Zerodha, point is, we are not asking for 7 times margin for futures. Neither is that particular broker providing.

And what relation does transaction charges have with flash crashes and bear markets?
I was hoping you would answer today, and am glad you did. Now please explain the post of yours :) :) in context to this post of mine :)
We are asking for reduction in costs, transaction charges, not margins.

In todays markets, traders may not survive long enough for you to bring down the costs to 200 per crore. These charges add to our losses and eat into our profits in a BIG way. Since you were a big time trader yourself, trading intraday, you must know what it feels like. Of all the people, you should identify what active traders are going through!

sachin/nithin,

repeating the query,

it will be helpful if you can answer. talked to support also but they could not help.

want tick data intraday or EOD, is it possible in NOW? or atleast 1sec data.


zerodha,

plz reply for following query,

as TP showed, he may be mean 'tick list' by that only. in sharekhan tt, it's a chart feature, it showing data use for that particular script charting. for normal trader, in TT, for nifty one can get tick data of 4-sec interval lowest, and for commodity 1-2 sec (provided tick happened).

apart of that i want to know, is there any way to get/see tick data thru NSE NOW and NEST TRADER? what i mean by tick data is every TICK recorded/registered for that day at server. (live or EOD)

.
and for your ref attaching 1sec and 4 sec tt data image

Businesses have internal mechanisms to control risk and etc... I can't put everything on a public forum.. But let me give you an example in this context!!!

When you go to the US and rent a car, u can just rent a car or you can with a lot of other covers, insurance, body to body, life etc... It does cost a little extra when you take these covers.. It may not seem like it is required most of the time, but it sure as hell helps when there is trouble...

As I said, we have to do things to make this a sustainable business model to us come rain or shine.. In the business of broking, everyone can run it when markets are flat or bullish, but it is most important to prepare for those 2008, 2004 , 2000 kind of years...Our charges are a little higher coz we have a different deal and we are preparing for that year and it is our belief that a lot of present brokers can't survive the next big fall with the high leverages and low margins they are working with...

We are trying our best to get some active future traders to start trading with us to get this cost lower.. Most of our pro trading is also on put-call parity and doesn't generate any futures turnover.. But we are hoping to have a reduction in the next couple of months once again...

1.30pm in the night.. I think I have interacted with a few guys on this forum before around the same time... Was watching the el-classico and getting frustrated with the way barcelona was playing so thought let me see what is happening on traderji... Surprised to see so many guys on it on a saturday night... ;)
