If you are a hard core trader i.e. trade for a living as such, then do not look beyond NSE NOW (desktop platform) and ODIN.

The speed of execution in both these platforms is among the fastest of the lot.

These come with either monthly charges with some brokers (Eg. RK Global) or for free (Zerodha). Some of the other brokers who might provide NOW Exe or Odin might have some volume commitments in case there are no charges. If you are a day trader, you simply can't do without them. Ever see a broker place orders via a browser based terminal??

Browser based terminals are easier for investors or those trading from offices (a practice that I personally detest - you are paid to work in the office and not trade!) since most organizations have internet access policies which block specific ports that do not allow the Desktop based executable to run over the corporate network.

Karvy has a very good web based terminal. It can be very well compared to the application version. Executions are also pretty fast. This is because karvy uses microsoft JRE, whereas most other brokers use sun JRE(applets), which can be blocked.

Its a boon to have this for non-full time traders as its not blocked in offices.
By the way, karvy,IIFL are the only web based terminal i have seen working in my office.
Sharekhan,ICICI web based terminals do not stream live prices.

2&3 may be clubbed into ONE.

Browser based NSE NOW that I am using for last 2 weeks or so is one of the worst trading platform that I have come across. The reasons are:
1. Frequent expulsion from the account. For no reasons one will be expelled from their account. And one you will try to re-log in to your account it will direct you to first log off then will again allow you to re-log!
2. Incompatibility will many browsers. Some time back I was able to load the platform in IE8 that time I cannot access it through Google Chrome. for last two days I cannot load it in IE8 now I have to load it in Google Chrome!
3. Delayed streaming Data: the data that I get in NOW is most of the time delayed by 5 minutes to one hour--A strange discovery of NSE-- To how to make you lose money!
4. What is the status of your order whether modified or cancelled some time it will be difficult to know in time. E.g I have cancelled one order but after about 10 minutes I come to know that my order is executed.
5. One have to go through various rituals! even to start the NOW express it will pop up another windows then JAVA will be loaded then you can see anything, want to place the order again go for a series of rituals--interesting!

Thrash !!!
Anyway I hope Zerodha will respond.
In web based application there are 2 icons you can use ,
a.Now Market watch b.NowXpress.
You choose nowXpress.
I feel one genuine problem with Xpress , you can not square-off from Net
Positions.I pointed out this mistake to Zerodha.
