SMC mobitrade is available in two modes, Lite which is refresh based and Streaming which provides streaming quotes. SMC mobitrade is available on BSE, MCX Commodity & NCDEX and not on NSE.

As common with all full service Brokers, SMC offerings are no less no more just right. The Broker has well rounded offerings on all trading segments. But one thing tickles my mind here why brokers like this hesitate to disclose their broking charges even in such competitive broker market. The Brokers need to me more transparent in terms of brokerage and other charges.
