Pros and cons
Fyers
Pros
- The account fee is INR 0 and the minimum deposit is INR 0, so holding the account costs nothing.
- It runs on a low fee model, with a stock trade at INR 20 and options at INR 20.
- A single account covers stocks, etfs and futures, with a demo account and a mobile app included.
Cons
- A stock trade costs INR 20 against $0 at eToro, so frequent traders pay more.
- The stated audience is experienced and day traders, so a first time investor gets little guidance.
- Borrowing to trade attracts a margin rate of 12.49% to 16.49%, a cost the cash account does not carry.
Wealthsimple
Pros
- Stock trade fee of CAD 0 on a commission-free model across self-directed accounts
- Minimum deposit of CAD 0, so an account opens with a small sum
- Managed portfolios charge a management fee of 0.5% and start at CAD 1
Cons
- The UK and Europe are not among its markets (stocks, etfs and options), so a reader there would need a different broker
- Managed portfolios carry a management fee of 0.5% on top of CAD 0 self-directed trades
- Margin is available at a margin rate of 3.95%, which amplifies losses on a levered position
