For seamless trading online, you need a good trading platform speed, real-time market data and handy tools for advanced charting.
The three types of interfaces available for best online trading platforms in India are
- Desktop-based trading platform
- Web-based trading platform
- Mobile App based trading platform
Desktop based trading platform is the fastest of all the three platforms and is suited to professional traders who want to place quick orders.

You can place orders with the help of shortcut keys in a desktop-based trading platform. The trading software is in the form of exe.files that you can install on your PC or laptop.
Web-based trading platform uses URL (website address) for login and is accessible over Google Chrome and Firefox. Web-based trading platforms are a bit slower as compared to desktop-based platforms.
Mobile apps are becoming more popular because of their ease to trade anytime and anywhere. Most stockbrokers now provide Android and iOS-based apps to trade.
