The app is only available on the play store and the web. However, iOS users will have to wait for sometime.
The app tends to automatically log-out users without any notifications.
At times, the loading of scrips might take a lot of time. It causes the loss of the scrip price at that specific interval of time.
The entire user interface is quite sub-par and not up to the standard, making it difficult for beginners to understand the application.
The square off timings for intra-day trading is as follows:
Commodity (MCX) – 11:15 PM
Equity cash segment – 3:20 PM
Cross currency – 7:00 PM
Equity F&O – 3:25 PM
Currency F&O – 4:45 PM
This software isn't available for those customers who use NSE NOW for trading. It's because of the change of application in using OMS and RMS platforms. Finvasia NEST users can access the Finvasia ScalperT application through their NEST login user credentials.
