HDFC Security brokerage is so very high that one can never reduce cost of acquisition when markets are down. The price difference is eaten up by these people through their high brokerage per share and you would notice your average price to be still very high, no matter how many shares you may buy. I think other platforms like ICICI Direct or Zerodha is much better.

Brokerage is in competition with brokerage houses..services are also fine.

Third Class. Too much Hidden charges and brokerage too much high.

402. VISWANATH Dec 11, 2019 09:07

HDFC Securities is a wealth destroyer. When you place an order, they always execute at a higher price. Even when the ticker is showing a current price, the shares get purchased at least at 5 paise more. Limit orders do not hit the buy at the limit price. So when you convert it to a market order, the order gets executed at a higher cmp. Ridiculous! And, they charge brokerage on a percentage basis. So one can encounter huge brokerages while buying and the same while selling. In short, while using their platform, the only people making money would be HDFC Securities. Better not enroll with such business houses. I will shift my trade to other zero brokerage platforms like Zerodha. Their philosophy is simple. Whether you buy one share or 100 shares, the effort is the same, so why loot your customers? Grow up HDFC!

Limit order incase of action buy will never execute at higher rate than limit price and will execute if there is a matching opposite order.
whenever the fluctuation of the stock price is high, i prefer to place a stoploss.

They didn''t said any thing about the Depository Saying no brokerage or other charges for first 3 months) but charged Depository charges during my first equity sell script itself.
They will give you calls frequently but will be asked to sell the same shares for 2 or 3 Rs profit (Book profit calls) which is basically useless as once can buy any share for 2-3 Rs profit with in a week time. They will ensure you will not get more profit than their brokerage amount plus taxes
