Where the lines are
The short version, on one page. Enough to know where you stand without reading a single circular.
What this site will never do
These are design constraints, not disclaimers. The product is built so they are not possible — which is also why you need no account, no broker link and no registration to use it.
- We never place orders
- No routing, no execution, no access to your broker account. Your orders always go through your own broker, in your own name.
- We never show returns
- No P&L, no win rates, no backtest results — ours or anyone else’s. Comparisons cover features and price only.
- We never give calls
- No tips, no price targets, no stop-losses, no model portfolios.
- We are not SEBI-registered
- Not an Investment Adviser, not a Research Analyst. We are a reference and tooling site, and we say so plainly.
Four things worth knowing
Is retail algo trading legal in India?
Yes. The framework for it has been mandatory for all stock brokers since 1 April 2026. It sets out how you connect, what gets registered, and what your broker is responsible for.
Who is actually responsible?
Your broker. The broker is the principal and is liable for all orders coming through its API. Any platform or vendor in between is the broker’s agent, not a substitute for it.
Does everything I send via API count as an algo order?
Yes. All orders received via a broker API are treated as algo orders and must be tagged as such. There is no “manual API order” category.
Do I need my own static IP?
Only if you write your own code against a broker API. If you trade through a platform hosted on your broker’s infrastructure, the broker’s server IP is the one that matters — not yours. The blanket advice that every algo trader needs one is wrong.
A detailed, fully sourced breakdown of the rules is being written and will be published later. If something here is unclear or looks out of date,tell us.
