Does this signal ZERODHA’s entry in global brokerage market ?

or

May be I should stop extrapolating things :sweat_smile:

3

Is the data real time?

4

CFDs in India from a regulated broker like Zerodha would be quite interesting :rocket:

Why not just show the actual index instead of CFDs? Dhan shows it

An opposite take would be why pay 10x more for the license to use official datafeeds when you can just call it by a different name and get the same thing. All CFD brokers do this as they’re not licensed to provide derivative contracts on the DAX or Dow for example, I’m quite certain it applies to datafeeds too :sweat_smile:

Because it’s official? That’s more than a good enough reason.

And aren’t such license fees negligible for a company of Zerodha’s size

This was more about allowing users to track global indices in the Kite marketwatch. :grin:

Accessing real-time data for global indices is highly expensive and charged per user basis, unlike Indian exchanges, and the integration process is complex. This approach, similar to platforms like Investing.com and Moneycontrol offer, is both cost-effective and serves the intended purpose.
