Frequently Asked Questions

Algo trading (algorithmic trading) uses computer programs to execute trades automatically based on pre-set rules. ALGORAM handles everything from signal generation to order execution without any manual intervention.

Absolutely. ALGORAM has a Beginner Mode with pre-built strategies, step-by-step setup guide, and a simple one-click start/stop interface. No coding or trading experience needed.

Under 5 minutes. Connect your broker API, select a strategy, set your risk parameters, and click Start. Our onboarding team also provides a free setup call.

Yes! We offer a 7-day fully free demo on paper trading (no real money). You get access to all features and can see live performance. Visit our Demo page to sign up.

ALGORAM brings institutional-grade trading automation to retail traders at an affordable, transparent price — with no coding required. You get fully automated entry and exit, trailing stop-loss, built-in risk management, backtesting on 20 years of data, and free paper trading, all through a simple dashboard. Add free guided setup and a 3-months-free offer via 5paisa, and you can test everything at zero platform cost before committing.

No coding at all. ALGORAM is fully no-code — you pick strategies and set your risk rules through a visual dashboard with Beginner and Pro modes. If you can use a smartphone app, you can use ALGORAM.

Inside the dashboard you choose from ready-made strategies or configure your own rules — no programming needed. Each strategy can be tested on 20 years of backtesting and 7 days of free paper trading first, so you deploy live only after you've seen how it behaves. Our onboarding team also helps you pick and set up your first strategy free on a call.

Just an active broker account with API access enabled (a new 5paisa account can be opened free in minutes with PAN + Aadhaar), your trading capital in that account, and the ALGORAM app on mobile or web. For derivatives, your broker's F&O segment must be activated. That's it — no special paperwork with ALGORAM itself, since we only provide the software.

ALGORAM connects through official, SEBI-compliant broker APIs. 5paisa is fully integrated — and opening a new 5paisa account through our referral link gets you 3 months of ALGORAM free (first 100 customers). We're expanding broker support regularly; contact our team to confirm the current list before you sign up.

ALGORAM connects only through your broker's official API, which allows placing and managing trades — never withdrawing funds. Your money always stays in your own broker account, and we never see your login password or have access to your funds. Note that trading itself carries market risk; the API design protects your account access, not against trading losses.

Minimum capital required is ₹5,00,000.

ALGORAM only provides the software. You keep full ownership and control of your broker account at all times — we do not manage your money, take custody of funds, or place discretionary trades on your behalf. The platform simply executes the rules and strategies you choose. This is an important distinction: ALGORAM is a trading-automation tool, not a portfolio-management or advisory service.

Both. ALGORAM works on a web dashboard and mobile app, so you can monitor and control your automated trading from anywhere. Once a strategy is running, execution continues on our servers even if your device is off.

You can access your account from both mobile and web. For security, active sessions may be limited and simultaneous logins from many devices can be restricted — check your plan details or contact support for the current device policy.

No platform can promise or predict profits — trading always carries the risk of loss, and anyone guaranteeing returns is violating SEBI rules. What ALGORAM gives you is disciplined, rule-based execution: strategies you can validate on 20 years of backtesting and 7-day free paper trading before risking real capital, plus automatic stop-loss, daily loss limits and capital protection to manage downside. You judge each strategy on its own tested history before going live.

No returns are ever guaranteed in trading. ALGORAM provides a systematic, disciplined approach to trading which has historically generated consistent returns. Past performance doesn't guarantee future results.

ALGORAM has a Daily Loss Limit feature that automatically stops trading when a set loss threshold is hit. This protects your capital from extreme market events. You can also enable Capital Protection Mode.

Yes. Once you set up a strategy, ALGORAM automatically monitors the market, generates signals, places orders, manages stop-loss and targets, and exits — all without manual intervention. This removes emotional, impulsive decisions from your trading. You stay in control with a one-click start/stop and an instant kill switch.

ALGORAM operates within the framework SEBI has laid out for retail algorithmic trading: automation runs through registered brokers' official APIs, every automated order is traceable, and we never take custody of your funds. Note that "SEBI compliant" refers to operating within this framework — it does not mean SEBI endorses or guarantees the platform or any returns, and ALGORAM is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or portfolio manager. We provide execution-automation software; we do not give buy/sell advice or manage money.

Yes. Support is available by email, WhatsApp and through the in-app chat, with priority and premium support on higher plans. New users also get a free guided setup call to get their first strategy running. Support hours are Monday–Saturday, 9 AM–6 PM IST.
