Hi Zerodha !

How much cash in ledger balance requires to short/buy one lot each of the following:

1) Mini nifty (20)
2) Nifty (NF) (50)


Hi Buzz!
For Intraday: 40% of total margin (SPAN plus Exposure) from NSE. For holding Futures overnight, exchange stipulated margins are required.

Mini would be around 10k for overnight and 25k for big one... Intraday would be 40% of the same...

@ New born Trader....

It took quite an effort from your side and all you posted was pure crap
Sure it was crap but that was because YOU'd posted it & I've clearly linked to every stupid post of yours from saying thing like brokerage doesn't have any effect on profitability to saying things like ICICI is cheaper than Zerodha :rofl: & many more crappy comments.

..you never saw what Casper wrote ultimately when he got the message I put across...you could have taken pains to just read a few pages more and then comment..Casper is also a good trader so he understood what I wrote
What was your frickin message?......That low brokerage of Zeodha won't ENSURE profit for everyone..........that's like saying Sun rises from east.....it doesn't take a "genius" like you to tell people that low-brokerage =/ profit.

The only thing Zerodha & others had been trying to point out is that Zerodha's flat-low-brokerage brings the break-even closer & thereby traders' risk is reduced & the PROBABILITIES of making profits increase & you took that out of context, twisted its meaning into something else & then personally attacked everyone who tried to point out your stupidity.

...Ravi Chandra could never defend himself ..neither his paying 10 paisa brokergae nor his backtesting..
Again, even more proof that you don't read others' posts & just posts non-sense. IF you'd taken the time to read his post then you'd've known that he's already addressed all of your ridiculous contentions.

PGDIMES...I maintain he is a wonderful person ...and I had written that he is a useful distraction from my trading activities...read it again...I never meant that he is distraction...work on your vocabulary dear.. he is a knowledgeable person working very hard..
Can you contradict yourself any more? It seems you don't even read your own posts before posting them here :rofl:

So in your opinion, calling someone a "distration" is a term of respect? :rofl:

Zerodha..I am a trader to whom reliability of platform matters more instead of brokerage...so no harm ...Zerodha understood every bit of what I wrote and since he has been in the markets long enough...he got the message
I don't think anyone would disagree that the platform should be reliable (that's why I've said that offering a MetaTrader-LIKE platform along with their brokerage & CC will make Zerodha India's top broker but you disagreed with me on that :rofl:)

The point is that all you've done is personally attack everyone who's dared to disagree with you & saying stuff like ICICI is cheaper than Zerodha is........:rofl: All you've done is invoke confrontations & in such a long thread, you're the only person who's engaged in personal attacks.

Now @New- Born trader...will you spare the ordeal for Zerodha which has done a wonderful work of heralding a revolution in broking ..
What ordeal? YOU've been the biggest ordeal in this thread, as I've said, in this such a long thread, you're the only person who's personally attacked everyone who's disagreed with you

You do not read anything..you never try to understand any thing...Read whatever I have written after a year of trading again...and you will get it..
Oh, pot calling the kettle black! :rofl:

Stop deluding yourself into thinking that you're some big-shot super-trader or Warren Buffer or something, & that you can go around giving everyone "million-dollar-advice", or that whatever you say automatically becomes a "fact", or that you can go around personally attacking everyone! :annoyed:

Even if Warren Buffet comes here offering everyone advice then even he can't go around insulting everyone then who the hell are you!

Get over yourself & stop acting like you're some Demigod of Trading.

Again ..whats the harm if I also suggest Zerodha to not charge brokerage from some newbies...I know you will love it ..after all you have been able to find the holy grail of trading...no brokerage..no stamp duty...no transaction charges...no service charges...and thats sure shot way of making money..I am just extrapolating you wish list....
Again, where have I asked anything for free? When have I asked Zerodha to bear costs? Post it & link it like I've done in my last post to expose all of your stupid arguments.

READ THE FOLLOWING QUOTES & TRY TO COMPREHEND THEM...... IF YOU CAN


On Stamp Duty,

Well, this has been discussed many a times in these 400+ pages & you've extolled the "benefits" of you being in Karnataka & the Stamp Duty cap there, etc BUT the question is WHOM does it exactly benefit? Is it EVERYONE all the time? Hmm...

Well, State of Karnatata charges SD @0.01% ie Rs.1/- for a turnover of Rs.10,000 while it is @0.001% ie Rs.1/- for a turnover of Rs.1,00,000 in Maharashtra as the following article says.
http://articles.economictimes.india...n-stamp-duty-act-regional-commodity-exchanges

So it means that a trader whose daily turnover is 5 lacs is paying Rs.50/- of Stamp Duty with you while he could be paying Rs.5/- otherwise. Now, loss of Rs.45/- or even smaller losses, although not astronomical, are definitely worth considering & even smaller losses can add up over time, especially so when they're a RECURRING loss as is the case with SD.

The "benefit" of Karnataka's cap is only realized by traders whose daily turnover is 50 lacs or above, everyone else will be suffering upto Rs.45/- of unnecessary loss on every such day when they trade & their turnover is below 50 lacs.

SO, my question to you is, will it be possible for you guys to set up a NAMESAKE office in Maharashtra (or some other state with similarly low SD) & then charge all the traders who happen to have a turnover of less than 50 lacs for the day as per that state's SD @0.001% while all the traders who've traded 50 lacs or more for the day can still avail the benefit of Karnataka's cap of Rs.50/-

I don't know if this can or can't be done but as you've said earlier in the thread, "A penny saved is a penny earned" :D so I thought that I should put forward this suggestion & see if something like this is feasible for you guys. It could save some money for a lot of the traders who don't have a daily turnover of over 50 lacs.
Just to put this whole Stamp Duty thing into context, I'm NOT talking about saving a few Rs. for people who trade Rs.10,000 or Rs.50,000 or Rs.1,00,000 (loss of Rs.0.90/-, Rs.4.5/- & Rs.9/- respectively for each) once in a blue-moon or once in a week or a month or several months; I'm talking about "intermediate traders" (those with average daily turnover of many lacs) with decent turnover.

So for example, an "intermediate/mid-size trader" with a daily turnover of 25 lacs will be paying Rs.50/- as per Karnataka's Stamp Duty while he could be paying Rs.25/- for the same turnover as per Maharashtra, Gujrat (?) & possibly some other states' Stamp Duty, which means a trader with a daily turnover of 25 lacs is suffering an unnecessary loss of Rs.25 every day. Imagine that :down:

Similarly, if a trader's daily turnover is 20 lacs, he's suffering an unnecessary loss of Rs.30/-, it'd be Rs.40/- for a trader with a daily turnover of 10 lacs. These smaller losses every day can add up pretty quickly for regular traders & can really eat into the profits. :down:

As I've clarified before, the "benefit" of Karnataka's Stamp Duty cap at Rs.50/- is only realized by those having a daily turnover of 50 lacs or more, everyone else below is losing out on upto Rs.45/-
Further, nowhere have I suggested that people above 50 lacs shouldn't benefit from Karnataka's Rs.50 cap (I, as a commodity-trader, would be one of those on many days); all I've suggested is that if it's possible then Zerodha could open a NOMINAL office in another state with lower SD & then charge traders below 50 lacs as per that state's SD at 0.001% while traders above 50 lacs could STILL avail the benefit of Karnataka's cap This could help Zerodha to get more smaller & intermediate traders on-board by optimizing their costs further.

Moreover, I've also said that I'm NOT privy to all the variables involved in implementing such a thing & that this is just a SUGGESTION & definitely NOT a "criticism of Zerodha".

Dear Zerodha,

Why is it that every 15 days we have to change our "Login" and "Transaction" Passwords. Agreed it is a requirement from SEBI. But , why can't we use previously used passwords. Ok, immediately preceeding Password , may not be used. But when I tried to use a Password which I had used 2 months back , the system refused to accept. Changing passwords itself is a big headache, Above that if you add more conditions, Password changing becomes more dominant than trading.

Also I don't see the logic behind this compulsory changing of Passwords. How does it help :confused:

Regards:)
 
Re: Why you making things completed???

Trader J,

Do not understand why you making things so complicatoued?

As you agreed and we all know, as of now Zerodha is the best.

Regarding transaction charges, Zerodha has already very clearing mentioned that TC will be charged more with them(they mentioned reason too, please go through previous posts) and will come down in future.
True, I don't there's much that Zerodha can do about TC until they get a better bargin as their turnover increases in the future & I find it a bit weird that he's unwillling to name his broker :confused:

@respectinvestor, when other brokers charging so much of brokerage, you never never concerned about that anywhere in this traderji forum, but in this Zerodha's forum you seemed very concerned for others.

@respectinvestor, show your intellgency in your brokerage business.
If you can, give us a competive brokerage then Zerodha.
Behave like a gentleman instead of calling others baby and new born...

But will respond to you whenever im free as im now and do not except my immediate response as you was expecting for others.

I'm writing this long reply only to support our Zerodha..
They saved lot of my money and my savings continues in future with Zerodha.

Dear all fellow traders, let's be united to respond to such people.

Because, new traders should also get same benefits as we getting now with Zerodha. If we wont respond then new traders will be in confusion and may get continue trading with the same brokers who are charging high brokerages.

If any of you interested in options trading then please go through below URL:
http://www.traderji.com/options/30597-low-risk-options-trading-strategy-option-spreads.html

Trader J & respectinvestor, contribute something like what AW10, Dan, linkon, SmartTrade and many more unselfishness people.

Let's trade with good stratagies with less brokerage..

Happy Trading..

Thank You Zerodha, Wish You Many More Success.
He thinks he's Warren Buffet or some kind of Demigod of Trading & therefore he can go around giving everyone advice & that his words automatically become "facts" & that he can go around personally attacking everyone :annoyed:

It's not even that this person was attacking Zerodha to no ene just a few pages back, called him arrogant, said Zerodha is misguiding everyone by talking about them bringing down the break-even, etc & that Zerodha have spam-accounts to put up good reviews, etc & now he's acting like Zerodha/Sachin is his "lungotiya yaar" :rofl: Same with other members that he's personally attacked. He changes colors like a chameleon & NEVER reads others' posts & then makes baseless straw man arguments about things that others have never said.

Remember, this is the guy who's suggested that people should go with "tried & tested" brokers like ICICI (who've been overcharging their traders for long)
http://www.traderji.com/brokers-trading-platforms/47790-zerodha-439.html#post588227
let their system mature a bit...till then try to stick with tried and tasted....
I agree with the sentiment that we must stand united against people like these who go around spreading disinformation :)

We're asked to change passwards for security reasons I think. Let's say your system-security has been compromised by some sort of spyware or keylogger then it can capture such information & then it can be misused & your money & securities would be in danger. Of course, changing passwards is not necessarily a foolproof thing but still.....

As for re-using the same passward.....well, that can be a bit iffy too.... what if someone had captured your old passward that you'd used 2 months back, if you re-use it then your acount would still be in danger......but again there are many probabilities involved....

But I can understand that changing passwards all the time can be very annoying :lol:

In any case, you should definitely check out the PC-Protection section on Traderji, security of information such as our account passwards & such are very important :) http://www.traderji.com/pc-protection/

Appreciate your enthusiasm...:clapping:

Minimum time frame required for you to get into your head whatever I wrote: 1 year...and till that time I can bear with you..but why you get so excited on being called a freebie:D

You are correct...but why Demi God...Full God..:clapping:
 
Hi,

I am just wondering how the turnover charges are caculated. I traded 13 lots of nifty options today, and my turnover tax was 200 and brokerage was 160 (There was more than 1 lot traded at a time for some).

Can someone tell me if this is a standard charge across all brokers?

Thanks
