Which Online Platform Should I Use for Equity Trading? - Newbie

#1
I have recently discovered this forum, and I have been trying to glean the information I require without creating a new thread. But the amount of information on here is either a) Confusing b) Too old or c) Seems Greek to me.

I would like to start trading on the equity markets in India. This is the first time I would be doing so online. In the past, I have had a broker in Karvy, but I would like to be independent now.

As for my needs, I would like to invest for the medium to long term. Intra-day trading is not for me for the moment. Could someone please advice as to which online platform I should be using and what parameters should I look for while selecting said platform? Should brokering+other charges be the main concern, or something else.

I would be very grateful for any information.

Thanks.

Warm regards

From what I have gathered on the forum so far, I should pick one between Angel Broking, Tradeanywhere.exe and Geojit. With perhaps Kotak as another option. Am I correct in summarizing the general opinion on here?
