ODIN is a far superior product than NOW though it is not free. People may feel Now is better in the short term but you should consider below points before going for NOW:
- NOW only supports NSE exchanges. What about other exchanges such as BSE and what about any new exchanges that coming up in future eg. MCX Stock Exchange, ICEX etc,BSE was supposed to be launched 6 months back on NOW...God knows what has happened to that....
-NOW cannot handle the load. Every expiry the system just hangs.
- No strng RMS. one broker i know suffered a heavy loss a client order got executed though there were no funds in client account
- No data is secret.Any database engineer working at exchange can get the confidential data. who knows..
- Pathetic support from NSE.WHen u face some problwm with NOW you are helpless.
So...just think about it before goin for NOW...mine was painfulll....
