Prostocks Vs TradeSmartOnline : Side By Side Comparison

In this page, I am providing side by side comparison of Prostocks Vs TradeSmartOnline.

Both Prostocks and TradeSmartOnline come under Discount Broker category, hence they charge flat brokerage charges. However, Prostocks claim to have lowest Stamp duty charges and no proprietary trading desk.

But , there are lot of difference between these two brokers.

I have equated both these brokers based on Company overview, Account related charges, Brokerage Charges, Transaction charges, Exposure provided, other features, Investment services, Customer service , Research/recommendations and promotion offer on account opening if any.

However, if you already have account with any of these brokers, kindly share your experience with me and fellow readers through comments.
