    Trading with upstox is way better than zerodha… I am currently trading with upstox for almost 3 years now and service has improved a lot and wont look to move back to zerodha..

    Upstox is better for trading in options as it provides more margin in selling options than zerodha.
    I usually trade on the day of expiry by selling option for credit premium.

    zerodha is not technically stable. I have seen multiple instances where zerodha kite was stuck and was unable to place or exit from a trade. Resulting heavy losses where i would have made small profits.
    Upstox is way better than zerodha, platform is very stable and didnt see any connectivity issue.

    upstox is really good for option writing, with 1 lakh capital. I am able to sell 8 lots of bank nifty options or 10 lots of nifty option for intraday trading. Which is more than any other discount broker.

    I am trading with upstox when it was know as RKSV. I have been a F&O trader and very impressed with their platform and services. Trust me they are the best in the industry. Trading with upstox was one of the best decision i have ever take.
    For selling nifty and banknifty options i was getting good margins. I trade these options by writing them, for writing options you dont have to pay cash, you can use collateral as margin for selling.

    Trading in stock market needs good and reliable stock broker. I have traded with many full service brokers, but upstox was the only discount broker then. My first trade was on 2016 and since then I have been extremely satisfied with them.
    Margin on intraday are same as many major brokers provide, I mostly trade banknifty and nifty options.

    Upstox is providing better services than other discount brokers. They charge less margins for intraday trade. I can sell nifty options for 12,000 as margin. This is way less than other brokers. I highly recommend upstox.

    Check Religare, India infoline, angel broking, motilal oswal, icicidirect, sbi capital, hdfc securities, nirmal bang and many more. But they cannot offer brokerage as low as upstox which is just Rs20 per order.

    I have started trading with 20 lakhs, low brokerage at upstox has brought down my breakeven point. Which is why i am making money in stocks.

    Brokerage of upstox is just Rs20 which is unbelievable. Trading and making money being full time trader is now possible only because of this broker.

    Upstox provides trading directly from options chain, other brokers are not even closer to them.

    I am investor, was with icicidirect but switched after I came to know about upstox. Upstox offers 0 (zero) brokerage for investments, where as icicidirect was charging me 0.75% on buy and 0.75 on selling shares.
    Now i am saving a lot of brokerage. being a small investor i have paid more than 10000 brokerage to icicidirect with my account being just 200000.

    options trading brokerage is per lot or per executed order. As my current broker charges 45 rs per lot which is very high if i buy nifty options 50 lots then i have to pay more than 2200 rs as brokerage.

    i have checked 3 brokers upstox, samco and zerodha. But i have seen zerodha faces a lot of connectivity issues and platform becomes unusable. when i had open trade and wanted to close that trade platform became unusable and so i called customer support. Even there i had to wait for 8-10 minutes to connect to a support staff.
    Eventually i made huge loss on a trade which was in big profit at some point in time. So zerodha is no more a choice. Samco is not advance in platform, so out of the race.
    Now Upstox is also a discount broker, i have started with small capital just to check the platform stability. it is more stable didnt see any downtime or connectivity issues. Margins also better than zerodha.
    SO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO GO WITH UPSTOX.
