ICICI Direct - worst service provider
I have been facing problems in trading through icicidirect from last several
days..Couple of times I observed it was down during market hours last week..
Today it is not at all allowing to do intraday because its database seems not
updated..It has friday's records only...
Can anybody suggest some other service provider ??

improve.......

Can any one suggest some other site where we can view the updated
prices of both nse and bse
12/18/06

Sumesh
ICICI will never improve. I had complained to their service rep at least
3-4 times. Now the only option for us is to sue them in some consumer court.

Agree with u guys, m using it from last 2 yrs & its very worst!!! also
brokerage sucks our profit!!!!

ICICI Direct has gone mad. If they don't have technical capability,
and proper backup support, what they are doing in the market???? They really
deserve to get sued.

Hi friends...I read u r problems...Its really sad thing even ICICI having 10 lakhs
dmat a/c out of 18 lakhs all over india...but still they dont have importance abt
that..
Better u go for Share Khan its really good....they are nothing but the masters in
market...watch recommendations and research...and their services are really
good...Just try it once...

ICICI Direct - Intraday time
At what time does ICICI start squaring off intraday by itself. \or to say, at what
time ICICI Direct stop taking intraday orders.

today morning icici even half an hour after the market opening, icici
was displaying friday's prices!!...though it was accepting orders for buy/sell but
the prices were not updated..........
only the home page was updated and that too after too much lag!
undoubtedly the worst site for trading!

neevr go for online trading. u will never make money. it is advised to
get in touch with a good broker to work out possibilities.

About comlaints.
I attended a informatory lecture about working of share market,They were telling if u
have any complaints against the brokers which are provides services to you, you
complain to SEBI,they are very afraid of SEBI,if sebi do anything against them they
are gone totallly,so if u have any complaint go to SEBI and explain your coplaints.

12/19/06

Logesh....
since every one of us are facing this kind of problems, we can even plan a
e-mail compaign & send it to SEBI.
12/19/06

AAP HI KA
5paisa.com is good. intra day only 5 paisa
12/19/06

Ak Agrawal
ICICI is not worst, Kotak is worst.. They have so many hidden charges
that your brokerage reaches 0.6-0.7 with such a pathetic service.
12/19/06

Santhosh
the customer service is very poor , the buttons does not activate at the
right time . it takes more than half n hour to click .by the time the correct time of our
entry into the market goes away.
12/19/06

Santhosh
when will icici rectify the problem faced by thousands of online traders
???
12/19/06

Medha..........

12/20/06

Freak Out !!!
these days ... i am getting an effective brokerage of 1.04% on
icicidirect...
and mind you... tjhis is one side brokerage after including all kind of taxes that they
imply on us....
such high brkrg for such hopeless service
huh!!!
seriously thinking of complaining to SEBI
What Say ???
12/20/06

Yaa guys... Today I sold Sobha shares when they were at 1100 RS. But
by the time the script got executed the sgare price was around 991. Such as worst
load holder and it executes very slowly.
Worst service. Sharekhan is very fast I believe

Indiabulls
I am surprised that nobody has talked about Indiabulls till now.....
I love its software, exact replica of screen we see at our local brokers,
brokerage - 0.25(delivery) and 0.06(intraday trading(buying (0.03)+selling(0.03),,,
you get margin leverage on your cash and stocks (upto 4 times, and when you have
been with them for few months, call them to get your limit increased to 8 times (or
more))
they give you software to install on your comp, or alternatively, use their website,,,,
service is excellent, you get your own RM,, research is alright, I prefer my own head,
so havent noticed them much,,, but you have moneycontrol.com for free and best
research,,,

i bought 50 shares of REL on margin in ICICI Direct @
1500/share. i was planning to sell it after 1 or 2 days when it goes to 1700
or so....but few hours later i seen ICICI have automatically sold my shares
@ 1520/share. Can anyone tell me where i did mistake?
Also, can anyone explain me difference between margin and marginplus
trading?
in reply someone told...
margin / marginplus both tradings are INTRADAY
you cant hold these shares , they will settle it by 3 pm daily,
but i heard that in sharekhan u have to settle your margin positions within
4-5 days.... is it true?
i m planning to open an a/c in reliance money....they take 500 for 12
months including brokerage and all... for trading upto 5 lakh. so it comes
to just 0.1%. do reliance money gives 4-5 days to settle margin positions
or they also square off within same day as ICICI Direct?

and the order is got executed but i cant see the share in my demat
allocation till now. But on 22n feb i got a msg like
For NSE settlement number xxxxxxxx there is a short delivery of 10
share/s of ICICIBANK. These shares may be received through Auction on or
after 21-Feb-08. And the payout / closeout would be credited by
25-Feb-08.

Can u please anyone clear em what is this about?
9:47 pm (8 minutes ago)
Selvaraj.
Can't we do something against this guys ?
ICICI is been doing this for a long time... the site goes down when needed!
Can't users do anything against this! is there an forum or an authority to
whom we can lodge complaint. Please suggest or poll in ur thoughts. So
that we can do something about it.
