Pros, Cons and Other Review Comments

	ICICIDirect	Compositedge
Pros	Offers 3-in-1 account which makes stock market investment very easy for casual investors. Wide range of investment options available under one portal. Provides a low bandwidth website which works well where internet connection is slow. GTC (good till cancellation) and off-market hours order placement facility is very useful. More Advantages...	The cheapest flat fee discount broker in India. Compositedge has its own DP which makes the demit transaction little cheaper than other discount brokers. Customer support though Google Chat and Yahoo Chat is available. Composite Investment also offers 'Fully Automated Trading (Algo Trading)'. More Advantages...
Cons	ICICI Security charges high brokerage in comparison to most of the brokers. Poor performance of website is reported in peak hours of trading. More Disadvantages...	Though Composite Investment is in the broking business for 15 years, they are new in the discount brokerage field as they launch these services in mid 2012. Doesn't provide options to invest in IPO's, Mutual Funds, Bonds and NCD's. Doesn't provide stock tips or recommendations. AMO orders (After Hours Orders) can only be placed from 6.00 pm to 8.30 am on weekdays More Disadvantages...
