My Value trade Customer Service

My Value Trade provides support through the following communication channels:

• Email
• Phone
• Web Chat
• Social Media

The broker offers reasonable customer service quality through its small team based out at the headquarter office in Ludhiana, Punjab. Overall the customer service is “salsy” in nature and does not really focus too much on providing a decent experience to its clients.

The resolutions are copy-pasted and are completely generic in nature. Thus, the clients don’t go through a deserving experience while using the service of this discount stockbroker.

In a sense, the overall quality of customer service is below average.

The pricing aspect of the discount broker includes a flat rate brokerage rate, transaction charges, taxes (GST), stamp duty etc. Users are advised to be very sure of the pricing levied from multiple aspects and understand these charges.

My Value trade Transaction Charges

Apart from the brokerage charges, clients need to pay transaction charges from their pocket as well. And transaction charges depend on the trade value. Here are the charges listed:

 

As per industry standards, this discount stock broker charges relatively high transaction charges at a marginal level. These transaction charges are a percentage of your trade value and thus, the higher the trade value, the higher is the overall transaction charge levied on you.

Thus, try to negotiate these charges while you have a discussion with the executive of the stockbroker.

My Value trade Margin

The discount broker offers pretty reasonable exposure, especially in the equity intraday segment:

 

The broker provides one of the highest exposure values among the complete stockbroking fraternity. At more than 30 times the exposure for equity intraday, users have a great option to capture huge returns from their capital.

Having said that, we would like to suggest that in case you don’t have a complete understanding of how exposure works, it’s best you stay away from it. Its certainly a lucrative option but it comes with big risks as well.

Conclusion

My Value Trade seems to be a jack-of-all stockbroker where it provides reasonable value across multiple facets such as trading platforms, customer service, pricing, exposure etc., however, there does not seem to be even a single major USP (Unique Selling Point) where My Value Trade beats any of the Industry leader (in that particular aspect).

So if you want something of everything, then My Value Trade is the broker for you. But if you have some specific expectations, then, you need to compare those expectations in a direct one-to-one way with other stockbrokers in the country.
