My own 03 yrs experience with Motilal is very very negative.If one unable to analyse stock,then their recommendations are sure shot looser call.
Regarding brokerage part one must negotiate with them,it wi vary from .3 to 1%.
Regarding online trading software it is the most bogus one.They were unable to rectify it for last 03 months.Though they charges 1200-1500/ifetime.
I had transferred all shares to Sharekhan with low brokerage, 0 DP outgoing charges,free online trading software(Tradetiger) for all clients.The software runs with 07 servers(1 to 6).It contains graphs with many usefull technical tools
