What is algo trading in India?
Algorithmic trading (algo trading) uses pre-defined rules to automatically place buy and sell orders on stock exchanges. In India, SEBI allows retail traders to use algo trading through registered brokers. Unlike institutional algo trading that requires exchange approval for co-location servers, retail algo trading works through broker APIs that any individual can access with a demat account.
Anadi Algo is a platform that makes algo trading accessible to retail traders who trade on NSE (National Stock Exchange) and BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). You define your trading strategy using AI-powered tools, test it on historical data, and then let the platform execute trades through your broker account automatically.
Your money stays in your broker account at all times. Anadi Algo sends order instructions via official broker APIs. Every order is visible in your broker's order book and trade history.
