How to choose a good online stock trading broker?

Did you know that India is one of the most popular countries all over the world when it comes to online stock trading? USA has a number of brokers themselves but India surpasses USA in terms of the number of brokers by miles! This makes competition amongst them stiff but incredibly beneficial for customers. Each company tries to outdo the other when it comes to offering services and ensuring their clients receive the best profit margins from the stock trading. So, here are a few things you can keep in mind when it comes to choosing the right broker:

1.   Location – Just because you are trading online does not mean that there need be no personal or written communication required with your stock broker. There are times when you may have disputes to be resolved or originals of signed documents dropped off at your broker’s office. So choose a broker who is based in your city or at least has a branch there.

2.    Costs – One of the most important factors to consider, compare the fees and commission charged by the various brokers to see who is most cost-effective. Remember, compromising on commissions may result in receiving poor trading advice. On the other hand, it is not necessary that the costly trade brokers are the best in the market. So, don’t just judge the worth of a broker going by their costs alone. Commissions are usually charged on the basis of the length of your investments in the market – whether they are intraday or long term in nature.

 .  Mandatory requirements – Some brokers may ask you to trade for a minimum amount of in a particular portfolio that you may not prefer. So be sure to read the fine print very, very carefully. It is difficult to extricate one from messy business transactions once all parties have signed on the dotted lines. Fines may have to be paid and some of your trading money may be sacrificed to cancellation of your agreement with a specific stock trading broker.

4.   Customer service – Needless to say, the company that has time to listen to their customers’ queries and opinions are the best in the industry. Don’t expect a tutorial in the subject, chapter and verse, each time you call them. But some basic information and updates must be provided from time to time so you, as a trader, are assured that your money is in active hands.

5.  Research – The key to successful trading in any legal instrument in any stock exchange in any country, the brokerage firm that does research the right way to provide the most accurate trading tips of course is the champion. This decides how reliable they are and also helps you decide if you want to trade in larger sums or just play safe and stick to lower amounts.

6.   Diversity –With so many options being available in the market when it comes to trading, such as shares, commodities, derivatives and futures, mutual funds, etc., choose a broker who provides advice about them too along with online share trading in India.

With these in mind, you should be able to choose a good broker fairly easily and have a profitable relation with them for a long time.
