Why Zerodha is not a suitable broker if you are trading with <10L 🧵

An eye-opening thread:

▶️ If you are day trading, one thing you should be bothered about is the charges(brokerage, SEBI, STT)

▶️ Profit/Loss is secondary. Will write about it sometime later.

▶️ Control the charges you pay at EOD.
1️⃣ What people usually do?

▶️ Take 100 trades. Make Rs.1000. And end up paying Rs.3000 in charges. You are only making your broker rich this way.
▶️ Do this on a monthly basis. And you will always be in a loss at the end of the month.

▶️ Kamath Bros are the ones making the money and not you.
2️⃣ Story of my friend(Problem Statement)
▶️ A friend of mine shared his experience of over trading.

▶️ He started trading in Jan'22 with 5L capital.

▶️ He used to do scalping with 6-7 lots.

▶️ Used to do a lot of trades on a daily basis(70-90 every day). Ended up paying a lot of brokerage.
3️⃣ Moral of the story

▶️ Brokers are always winning. Not sure about market participants.

▶️ Money just changes hands in the derivatives segment. Someone's profit is someone's loss.

(70 * 30 = 2100)*20 = 42000 in brokerage at the end of the month.

Think about it.
▶️ Choose your broker wisely. Spend time researching which is the best broker for you.
4️⃣ Solution

▶️ Don't take trades where you lack conviction/doesn't suit your style of trading. Trade your setup. Avoid random trades.

▶️ You can't catch all the moves.
▶️ Try to limit the days you want to trade. Let's say you want to trade non-directionally. You can make enough money(5-6%) by trading just on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays.
▶️ You can use alternate brokers like SAS Online, Kotak too. Kotak has hung up twice on me till now, but they don't charge intraday brokerage.
Share you experience with respect to how you look at brokerage. What % of profit is your brokerage.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
And here they are...
