When will Zerodha come up with low cost & best Interface for SLBM ?
Currently no broker is going after this problem. Not sure what's stopping Zerodha to simplify the whole segment!
Is it really worth doing this complex system?

Explined well. But very advanced level. Not for retail players I suppose.
