Price is just one factor. They are many other factors like the trading platform & tools, hidden cost, demat charges, margin, funding, customer service, the safety of funds, etc.

We recommend ProStocks for an unlimited monthly trading plan. They charge flat Rs 899 per month for trading across all equity segments. They also offer lifetime free AMC demat account and free account opening.

Currently Zerodha is restricting the strike prices for weekly options trading (multi day carry forwars) for Nifty Options. Due to this hedging is not possible.
Which discount broker is currently offering a wide range of strikes so that Short Iron Condor and similar hedged startergies can be used?
