+1 to the views of rmike & smart_trade and others on this issue.
personally i and my friends have stopped trading with zerodha and have gone back to sharekhan mainly on the fact that it has the best trade management system/platform and easy to understand backoffice. also, personally will open IB a/c in next few days as their trade management system is even better than sharekhan's TT.
btw at least in sharekhan/TT:
- i can see the charts with a click (nest+ charts are PITA)
- know my opening price (nest+ shows opening price as LTP if positions carried fwd the next day and thus shows wrong actual m2m! one with multiple positions has to go back to BO to see what was the opening price. total time waste )
- check out easy to understand and visualize BO :thumb:
instead of doing this gimmickry, showy and utter time pass thing (crowd.in) they should invest their money & time in developing a better platform, BO and other value added things which @rmike has mentioned.
realistically, i don't see any of this happening in the near future (3-5 years) because of the failed track record. broken-promises/duping/taking for a ride the retail crowd for a new BO & trading platform & something on the line of metatrader etc etc etc
