Today online discount brokers have totally revolutionized the trading arena. If you’re a trader you will very well understand that a large part of your profits go into paying brokerages. When you pursue day-trading as a part-time or full-time business, the most important part to increase your profitability is having low brokerages. And if you are into derivatives (futures and options) then brokerages eat up large pie of your profits. If you’re a high volume trader you must have your trading account with any of the discount brokers with low brokerage plans across the segments in which you trade.
Having low brokerages also mean your trades will break-even more quickly, reducing the risk and increasing the profit margin.

If you are a trader or an investor do share your trading experiences, complaints, feedbacks on any of these brokerage firms in the comment box below. If we have missed any of the discount brokers do mention about it.
Brokerage is very important part of trading. Every trader needs to thoroughly understand the brokerage structures provided by their broker before starting their trading activity.
I myself have switched some 3-4 brokers for the want of low brokerage. Low brokerage is not the only point that one should look for while selecting a broker. Ease of operating the trading plaform, web and mobile interface, time lags, charting analysis are also equally important.
After experimenting with lot of brokerages I have finally settled for Zerodha. And very happy with it.
Appreciate the detailed information provided here on various brokerages and their services.
Really helpful for beginners. It deals with very essential part of investing and saves much valuable time of one who seriously thinks of investing or trading

Nice post.
2016 chart to compare best online brokerage firms in India on pricing, investments, trading tools, beginner support, research amenities, and customer service.
Thanks for it!
Glad, You liked it.
These days, online discount brokers have become pretty universal in their acceptance — they’re convenient, their fees are lower, and you can get your information instantly. But for some people, being able to walk into a real office and talk to a real person is a big deal. If that’s the case for you, then a traditional “brick-and-mortar” or full-service broker might be worth looking at.
Yes, You are right!
