FLIP from Geojit

I hope that the (few) members who use this particular platform which has been made available recently post their experiences here.

I've been using it for about a week and I'm not unhappy compared to their previous Platinum platform.

There are some differences that I have to get used to and the Customer Care (technical section) seem to be swamped with calls since I can't get through to them. The help menu which is offline in the FLIP\config directory has solved quite a few of my difficulties.

I still have a few left. In particular, I'm struggling to arrange the position of the various windows called up by F3, F8, and Alt+F6 so that they always come up where I want them.

The trade summary at the end of the day (or at any time) can be downloaded as an Excel (.xls) file although I'd prefer a plain vanilla .csv file. That's because I use Open Office Calc and not Excel for my spreadsheets.

The other glaring problem is that the trades don't show up on the Gold (web-based) platform anymore.

The advantage of the Gold platform is that one can see one's trades from any computer with a browser and internet. So in case one is somewhere else on a computer without FLIP installed, one can do a minimum of work at least.

flip is not good at al....its terminal is most differnt then any on the planet...i used it some time back and it doesnt have indicators working.....so i refused to take it.

It seems that Geojit is taking the customers on a ride as I feel that the s/ware connects to the online java portal. Cosmetic changes are given to the application

Interesting observation. Disagree re. "the s/ware connects to the online java portal". This may be only for the customer care aspect. Here Geojit seems 100% dependent on Internet Explorer being present on the PC.

I've asked them repeatedly why they don't get browser-agnostic but there's stony silence I use Firefox wherever possible.

If you describe how you connect to the internet (BB speed) and from what spec. PC (esp. RAM & processor speed), things may get clearer.

ventura and indiainfoline are much better then geojit and any other....cheapest and best service provider also...

using flip we can not put buy or sell order , interface in not so good some web sites providng very good charts than flip . I was confused what is the use of flip?

and they say that it is the best on planet...hahaha

After downloading and installing FLIP, you have to e-mail customer care and they will activate the platform the next day! I learnt that the hard way.

Friends.
Even when u want 2 place the buy/sell order thru F2/F3, the window that opens shows the indicator as loading and after some time does the window open.....

I access thru a 256KB DSL, Intel Pentium Dual Core 1.84Ghz, 3.0GB RAM...........i think a decent configuration for a PC.

While when I viewed a demo from Ventura, it was like lighting compared to FLIP, you press F2/F3 and the window pops up. Didnt opt for Ventura as they had a settlement for T+1 built into their system and a customer access gets blocked if the margin is -ve on T+1 day.

Thanks

Your specs should be more than enough!

For me the buy sell is F1/F2 but I don't have any opening lag there. For me viewing the portfolio (Alt F5) takes some time but I have 60+ scrips in my holding . Once it opens, it works fine.

I connect successfully through a 1xCDMA Reliance Netconnect (max 230 kbps) without any problem (other than the Alt F5 one).
