ICICI Direct Trade Racer Web Review

The good part of web trading applications is that you can use those pretty much from any device i.e. be it a laptop, computer, mobile, desktop or tablet. Since ICICI Direct Trade Racer web is responsive in nature, the application moulds itself to any screen size and device configuration.

You just need to use a compatible browser and a web connection to access this application.

One major requirement of ICICI Direct Trade Racer web is that you need to have SilverLight plugin installed onto your browser. If that is not that case, you will simply not be able to access this application.

ICICI Direct Trade Racer Web Verdict

This web-trading application from this full-service broker offers limited value to an expert-level trader. In this competitive trading space, ICICI Direct certainly needs to pull up its socks and look to provide much better focus to its clients through its trading applications.

Although the terminal software is a reasonable offering, neither the ICICI Direct trade racer web nor ICICI Direct mobile app has been able to convince their respective client base.
