Stock Option Brokers- Help!

#1
I saw a similar post earlier- and I did do a search for prior posts. So Please bear with me.

My main concern is Speed. Of Course a known name would be good.

My initial choice was ICICI- but they really suck. Tried Share Khan- but they only allow Futures trading ( atleast by their website). India bulls does not even give details about Stock options.

IF there is an FAQ- I will really appreciate a link.

LOL , Reliability is a rarity, Charges would depend on how hard a bargain you drive, Speed is okay with the 2 you have mentioned above. You could check out religare also , no personal experience though.

As for the volatility, look here http://www.nse-india.com/content/fo/foquote.htm

Does that help.

You've got a b/s or hoadleys for the rest.:D

If you find a broker who provides the above do let us know.

I am most probably going with Angel Broking. IF they are not responsive perhaps I will be a cheap skate and try RK Global. IT seems the experiences are fairly personal!


There is a killing to be made in India- if someone can provide a serious option trading platform with reliable service. Maybe a project I can think of !

I think nobodys interested due to the lack of liquidity in options, especially stocks. The regulators alone are responsible for that with their myopic views and attitude.

The big issue is some how Shorting stock is considered taboo in India ( well there is a lot of insider trading anyway!). For a Market Maker to hedge he needs to have this.

Why cant they have some market makers and assign them specific stocks and make them qoute bid-ask for atleast 3 Months! Let them make money- once competition increases and there is more awareness of how to really trade options- we have the Numbers in India in our favor ( and by default we guys do take risks!)

Pipe Dreams! I hope they do something.

Very true, Shorting is considered anti national or unpatriotic. I wonder why.

A simple fact is that shorts support the market when it is going down and I don't know what it is going to take to make the regulators understand.

I hope good sense prevails sooner than later.:)
