Trading in stock markets online has now come up of age; thanks to the technological development that occurred in the last few years. One can now find a number of stockbrokers and broking houses that provide an amazing platform for the traders who can start trading with minimum investments. The concept of low investment and day trading is indeed considered as a boon for many small term investors who actively participate in trading every day.

With a very small investment, traders can now make good benefits by trading online, but they also need to choose the right broker for the same. Hence, it is also important to choose a demat account that has the lowest brokerage charges.

Till the last few years, the share brokers in India used to charge a said percentage from the value of the trade as the brokerage charges. Traders who invest huge have to thus pay a huge sum as the brokerage charge. Such brokers are known as the full service or the traditional brokers. Large investors at times end up paying lakhs of rupees as brokerage but such brokers are not ideal for small and beginner traders.

One can now find the new breed of brokers in our country who are also known as the flat fee or the discount brokers. These brokers charge a fixed fee for each trade irrespective of the number of shares traded. The trader thus pays only a fixed minimum sum for every trade he does. This comes in quite handy to those investors or traders who are into day trading as they trade multiple times in one day.

For example, when you trade 100 shares of a stock at Rs. 1000 for each share, then the brokerage charged by the flat fee brokers remains only at Rs. 20 whereas the traditional brokers would charge about Rs. 500. This example proves that traders can save a lot when they choose brokers who can provide them with the lowest brokerage charge demat account.
