Customer service is pathetic. What ever you ask they reply with same scripted answer. In their website they show something else and actually they offer some thing else.

Very slow to respond to market variation. Charts are slow. Orders get executed late. Also, soon the concept of Margin trading will not be there. So, their claim of providing 20X margin will no longer be there.
