Hi and Welcome,

Here are my answers to your queries:

1) Yes

2)Online is placing orders on the net, offline any other way.

3) Neither. You could do better.

4) A broker you are going to need anyways, and I can't see any advantage of having a offline account.

Trade well,
Vince

Hi Prabhat

Let us clear up some confusion.

Investment and trading are two different things. Investment is for capital appreciation based on your views about growth prospect of a share/company. Normally you do fundamental analysis.

Trading is to take advantage of price fuctuations irrespective of the growth prospects so as to make money on a regular basis. Speed of transaction is of utmost essence an you need to monitor prices constantly and do technical analysis.

Requirements are different and hence if you need to do only investment then you can go for ICICIDIRECT/HDFC/UTI Bank/ IDBI Paisabuilder.com which offer three in one account. i.e. a DP account as depository participant , a Web Trading account with ICICI WEB Trade acting as broker house and a Savings account as in a Bank.

If you want to do trading then there are options like sharekhan.com,indiabulls, geojit etc. which will provide online trading terminal, may be assign relationship manager or a sub-broker to you and offer various value added services.

You can search this forum where discussions are held about relative merits of each of the above mentioned facilitators.

With Demat in 90% of trading on nse/bse you will get only disadvantages in offline brokerages/trading account.

As regards tips, this forum you will find many learned persons like saint,sh50,amit,joy_mitali,srisara,mohanlate,nkpan jiar, value_trades among others and above all traderji the administrator/moderator of this forum. All aspects are discussed and analysed threadbare and questions are answered by above selfless individuals with promptness. You will certainly be benefitted by them as I have been.

wish you all the success

Pankaj
