When markets become volatile, it can also be tempting […]

People know Zerodha. They know the brand, the product, the numbers. What they don’t know are the people who built it. A lot has already been said about how Zerodha started, why we chose a flat-fee model, and why we remained bootstrapped.

Before you track or trade a stock, you usually have certain criteria in mind. You may be looking for stocks making sharp moves, trading near their 52-week highs, seeing high volumes in the F&O universe, or matching a particular fundamental filter.

Nithin has often said that the stock market is the toughest place to make easy money. I keep thinking about this line because it is a perfect encapsulation of the markets for most people.

When you have just one or two trades, the positions page is easy to read.

We’re still one of the very few brokers that charges zero brokerage on delivery trades. But that’s just one part of it. We don’t send you notifications designed to make you trade more. We don’t push margin funding (MTF) to get you to borrow and trade. We don’t have differential pricing for trading, MTF, or […]

As traders and investors, we tend to keep adding instruments to marketwatch whenever something catches our attention. Over time, this can turn into a long list of stocks, indices, and contracts that becomes harder to manage. Even if you split them across multiple watchlists, finding the instrument you need at the right moment can still […]
