Upstox algo trading with your own rules, through the Upstox API

Yes, an Upstox account can be automated through the Upstox API. Zerokriya installs a private system on your own server, connects it to your Upstox account and makes it follow your rules, either preparing each order for one tap or placing it automatically.

How the connection works

You create an API app in your own Upstox account and approve the system's access. The access stays on your server. The system places and tracks orders through the API and checks its records against what Upstox shows.

Upstox asks for a fresh sign-in regularly. The system reminds you on your phone in good time and tells you plainly if it is waiting for you.

Common questions

Which brokers do you work with?

Dhan, Kotak Neo and Upstox today. Other brokers that offer an API, such as Zerodha, Angel One and Fyers, are possible. We confirm on the first call.

Do you hold my money or my broker password?

No. Your funds stay in your broker account. The API key stays on your server. We never ask for your broker password.

Is automating my own trading allowed?

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.

What is paper mode?

Paper mode runs your system on live market data without placing real orders. It uses the same code as live trading, so what you see on paper is how the system will behave with real money. Every system goes through a paper run before handover.
