feedback on astha trade

We have so many brokers advertising on Traderji, someone has to keep opening accounts with them to keep them interested, right? 
Here's my list, in the order that I opened accounts with them over the years -
1. Zerodha
2. Upstox
3. Tradesmartonline
4. Finvasia
5. Fyers
6. Interactive Brokers
The last account was opened a year and a half ago, & since then, fairly happy with IB, & now have Fyers & TSO as backups but I'm considering Wisdom for their leverage as well. And, since @marimuthu13 mentioned Astha's leverage just now, maybe I should take a look at them as well, even though I generally stick to brokers available on Traderji because one can always come here & complain about it, if there is a problem with them.

Hi,
I use NEST platform across all brokers expect rkglobal...also i don't use any fancy things like charting, trade from charts etc etc
So no complaint of technical issues.
Rest there is a difference of brokerage slightly that you can understand from their website
Third back office reports like PL , ledger etc, expect sas, rkglobal, wisdom capital , all other brokers are good.
Payout TSO is slightly lagging than all other brokers.
IF YOU SEPARTE YOUR CHARTING NEEDS FROM TRADING, YOU CAN GO WITH ANY DISCOUNT BROKERS...ALL ARE ALMOST SAME.

I'd already answered a similar query about a year ago, & I don't think my views have changed much since then, except that, I've witnessed several troublesome days on Fyers, so my confidence in them has waned somewhat since a year ago. Maybe it's something to do with Banglalore leased lines or something that even Zerodha always has glitches (though of course, some of their glitches are due to lack of sufficient infrastructure to support their massive client-base); nonetheless, Fyers does have responsive support here on Traderji since their CEO visits here almost every day as you probably already know, so that's a big positive. Over the last year or so, I've seen at least 3 Traderji members complain about ending up with NEGATIVE BALANCE with rksv/Upstox, so I'm so scared of their RMS, I don't know if I'd ever trade with them again; just go through this thread & the links to two other threads I've posted there - https://www.traderji.com/community/threads/negative-ledger-balance.106969/post-1309415
Here's that older post where I've briefly talked about my take on all of the brokers I've tried : - https://www.traderji.com/community/threads/advice-choosing-a-broker.106092/post-1286886
I think it will be more useful for you if you put down what you want in a broker, & then, I might be able to tell you my experience within than context rather than other things that might be relevant to me but not relevant to you. Like @marimuthu13 has already mentioned, if you don't need advanced features in a trading-platform & can make do with NOW/Nest, then you might be ok with many discount-brokers.
But of course, it's not always possible for us all stick to NOW/Nest for various reasons, for instance, in my case, I have nearly 100 stock-futures in my watch-list & I have to place, modify & cancel a lot of orders VERY QUICKLY, which is very difficult to do in NOW/Nest if you have to manually punch in each order with all of their order-details, & of course, there's a greater possibility of making typing-errors & the resultant losses (though I am looking into ways to automate or semi-automate this process in NOW/Nest but haven't had much success so far), which is why I prefer IB because I can place/modify/cancel orders on the charts, so IB is my primary broker. IB platform also auto-calculates quantity, we can set the start-time & end-time for all orders or each order separately, we can preset SL & TP by % or amount, so a lot interesting features BUT they have very high margin requirements for a few stock-futures, so for those few stock-futures I've decided to use Fyers Web as my secondary broker since it also has chart-trading with better margins but again, I'm not sure about Fyers' stability, so I have TSO as my backup for Fyers, in case, I have a position on Fyers that I can't close because of some glitch (which has happened to me in the past & it was pretty scary), then I can take the opposite position in TSO until the glitch is resolved. In 1.5 years, IB platform has never failed on me, so I'm not really concerned about IB failing. I've chosen TSO as third broker for now, mostly because they have better margins than say, Finvasia, but like I said earlier, I'm considering Wisdom or Astha as the third broker since I'll be able to keep less idle money with them as my third broker.
Again, if you have any specific questions about the brokers I've tried, then I'd not mind answering them. After all, we can't all try all brokers, so sharing our experiences here helps us all.
