Hi Ravi,

I guess you are trading with Zerodha now, I need your help & suggestion on deciding before opening account with them. I choose Zerodha from RKSV, RKGLOBAL and Zerodha.

Now my queries are,

1. How is the ZT terminal, Is it better than NOW ?
2. How is the ZT Web Trading terminal, Is it as fast and reliable as ZT terminal?
3. How much exposure does Zeroda provide on margin?
4. Is there any auto square off policy for intraday exposure ?
5. Does it provide margin exposure for Delivery based tarding / Future and Option segment ?
6. Does the Zerodha web platform include the charting facility?
7. Does it have sms tarade confirmation service (on taking trade) ?
8. Does it give any Buy/Sell calls, Pre/Post market summary etc. ?

Right now I have demat account with Ventura Sec. I am quite happy with their service, but their Web platform is not that good for tarding F&O segment. Not all the option contracts are available there, and it lacks charting tool too. Otherwise Pointer(Window based terminal) is good. I am not saying great, but good.

Sorry for asking so many question at a time, Please take your free time to answer them

Best Regards
Taiki

Well, never mind Ravi, It happens, I believe you are still a winner if you have not accepted loss in your mind.

Good Luck :thumb:

And talking about ZT, last week i was almost sure to go with Zerodha, but now after reading the post that are going on in Zerodha Part 2 Thread, i am again considering it

crude is more risky cause of that 100 per tick ? or any other reason for this suggestion...?.....I m tracking gold/silver/crude and copper....but not taken any trade in copper yet....it moves slowly than other three......gold is best out of these 4, if you consider daily range/risk......

Ravi bhai,

I also think Crude is risky. It can make or break your ledger very fast. Sometimes in a blink of an eye.

Though it depends on your risk appetite and trading capital but still IMO it's risky.
