Latin Manharlal Trading Platforms

The full-service stockbroker provides multiple trading applications, however, most of those are third-party investment softwares.

Here are the details:

ODIN Diet

• In-built mutual fund and IPO modules
• Unlimited scrips allowed in market watch feature
• Highly secure trading experience with SSL enabled

Latin Manharlal Mobile Trading

This mobile app is an attempt by the house of Latin Manharlal, however, it has not really been used much by clients. One of the major reason for the app not being used is its technology limitation. The app requires you to install Adobe air software for the smooth functioning of the app.

This is one little roadblock for users who have the option of using much better and leaner mobile apps these days.

Some of the features of Latin Manharlal Mobile App are:

• Market watch feature available in both refresh as well as streaming mode depending on your mobile internet speed.
• Real-time order tracking
• Inbuilt features to access market reports, tips, recommendations, trading calls
• Charting feature to help clients in technical and fundamental analysis

At the same time, here are a few concerns raised by the users of this mobile app:

• Issues with the user experience of the app have been reported by the app users.
• The number of features is limited.
• The app is only suitable for beginner level traders

This is how the app looks like:

Here are some stats of the mobile app at the Google Play store:

Latin Manharlal Customer Service

The full-service stockbroker provides the following communication channels to its clients for support:

• Web-form
• Phone
• Offline branches
• Fax
• Web-chat (only for registered clients)

The number of communication channels provided by this stockbroker are pretty varied in nature and has an amalgamation of both offline as well as online methodologies. This aspect certainly places Latin Manharlal in good books.

At the same time, when it comes to the quality of customer support, the full-service stockbroker does an average-level job only. The support needs to certainly work on providing personalized solutions to their clients rather than going through a template-based response which is not helpful most of the times.

Latin Manharlal Research

When it comes to research, Latin Manharlal – like any other full-service stockbroker, provides assistance to its clients through various kinds of research reports and tips.

Here is a quick overview:

• LM’s Tricklet (bi-weekly report i.e. published every 2 weeks, majorly covering the technical research for that duration.
• LMSPL Weekend (published every Saturday with research done on the market news over the past week)
• Company Report (no specific timeline, generally covers mainstream IPO reports with a recommendation on buy/avoid etc)
• Commodity Pivot Table (published daily with pivot table data of promising commodities)
• Budget Report (published once a year with detailed research around the budget released by the Indian Government)
• Special Reports (published on specific instances that can directly/indirectly impact the Indian economy or the stock market in general)
• LM Bulls’ Eye (published once per month with information on specific stocks and corresponding recommendations)
• LM Trade Mantra (published every week with generic stock market trends)

These reports are accessible only to the clients of Latin Manharlal and not a generic user unlike in case of brokers such as Angel Broking that is pretty open in terms of their research and shares it with their website users.

Nonetheless, the research provided by this full-service stockbroker looks good for someone who is looking for relatively long-term investments. Short-term tips are not that accurate and need a round of self-analysis before you place the trade.

Having said that, the broker provides a reasonable quality of research overall.
