There had to be a catch. I found them unreliable when I used them 5 years ago. I wonder if they have improved in executing orders

Is it 1% + fees [NSE, CMA, CDSC]?

Has anyone here traded at that 1% commission, cause a previous thread with the same topic, proved it was hokum(fake).

@mycool, you have only missed the 0.6 which should be 0.06. The other charges sum up to 0.3% making the total charges 1.3%. The breakdown is as follows:

Brokerage Commission 1.00%
Cds Transaction Levy 0.06%
Cma Guarantee Fund 0.01%
Cma Transaction Levy 0.12%
Cdsc Guarantee Fund 0.01%
Nse Transaction Levy 0.12%
Stamp Duty Charges (Transaction Amount/10,000 X 2
Total Commission 1.32%

“This is a very competitive market and for CFC to do that it is not good, one per cent is too low and unsustainable in the Kenyan market due to the low volumes. Overall commissions may come down and it is not good for the industry,” said a broker who requested anonymity due to his business relations with CFC.

I am not happy that they take such a long time to execute orders. I put in an order request last week and four days later nothing, in the meantime the share i wanted has risen by a few shillings.....

This is is such a great forum for serious investors especially the new and inexperienced ones like me smile, but very committed to retiring early... Kudos to the creators!!!

Thanks to the guyz at BAAM for referring me to this site.

Regarding the stockbrokers,
@kipusa did you change your brokers and to whom?
I am currently tryna select a broker...anyone with pointers? I thought CFC were the best? Thanks.

T (Today) + 4 working days. Meaning that if you buy shares today on Thursday, you can only be able to sell them next week on Thursday.

You will also find the following trading strategy by @lovely2010 to be fascinating:
