04 August 2014 I started trading with ICICI Direct when I began trading in 2010, it was a good experience, their trading system is good and convenient. Especially since 2012 I was mostly trading in Futures & Options and paying ICICI on lot basis. It took me some time, to realize that I was paying one of the highest brokerage in the industry. I have paid a lot of brokerage in my ignorance, 10s of thousands! But I guess without guidance, mistakes are inevitable. Would advice the rookies, to select one of the discount brokers instead. I am not going to promote anybody.. but Brokerage Cost/ Slippage are the bane of every trader and the more you minimize these costs, the more profitable you are going to be.

08 September 2014 ICICI is one of a top banks and I am very comfortable with their services. They might charge a little more as these reviews are saying. But I feel perfectly secure with them. Very convenient and good way to start buying stocks.

08 September 2014Seema, I think your review is very much about the 'brand' and it being a 'bank'. If you are trader it is the least you care about. Do they provide good margins? what platform? charting facilty? algo trading? reporting??.. all this on trade tiger - Share Khan.
