can i please get some comparisons of various platforms on online trading?

Hi there.. Sidharth.. speed depends on connectivity issues.. So almost all the brokers are good in that as they pass through such tests before getting membership on exchange boards.

@ Meera: Regarding simplicity in trading software, i would suggest u to go with a broker providing ODIN. Butyh. u have to consider many things while operating an online account viz covering or shares short sold, before the end of markets everyday. If u fail to do this, u may be imposed a penalty based on certain % on your turnover.

Well, if u are thorough with all these rules n regulations then u can surely go with an online account. otherwise simply stick to offline account.

Thanks & Regards,
