For a retail trader who automates their own account, brokers describe three practical points under SEBI's retail algo framework, in force since April 2026. Orders sent through an API must come from a static IP registered with the broker. A strategy sending more than about ten orders a second must be registered through the broker; slower personal systems need no such registration. Market orders sent through an API must carry a price protection limit. This is a plain summary, not legal advice: confirm each point with your broker.
A private system on your own server is built with these points in mind: it runs from one fixed address in your name, sends a handful of orders, and uses order types your broker accepts through its API. We tell you what to register with your broker and test it in paper mode first.
The rules are written for brokers and exchanges and are updated from time to time. Your broker is the right place to confirm what applies to your account today.

Automating trades in your own account through your broker's API is offered by brokers under their own terms and the rules of SEBI and the exchanges, which can include conditions such as a fixed internet address and limits on order speed. You remain responsible for meeting those conditions for your account. We tell you what the software needs so you can check with your broker.
