Can SEBI Registered Advisors use algo trading legally in India?

Yes. SEBI's 2022 circular on algorithmic trading allows registered advisors and research analysts to use automated systems for executing recommendations, subject to specific API registration requirements with their broker. TradeMade builds infrastructure that is specifically designed around these compliance requirements.

How does TradeMade help SEBI RAs execute for multiple clients?

TradeMade builds multi-account execution systems that can simultaneously place identical orders across dozens of client accounts on different brokers, within milliseconds of each other. Clients provide their own broker API access; the system executes proportionally based on each client's capital allocation.

What documentation does TradeMade provide for SEBI compliance?

We provide full technical documentation of the system architecture, order logs, audit trails, and execution methodology — sufficient for SEBI compliance audits. We do not provide SEBI registration services; we build the technology that supports your compliance framework.

SEBI RA FAQs

Is algo trading legal for SEBI Registered Advisors?

Yes. SEBI's API trading framework allows RAs to use algorithmic execution systems. The key requirement is that orders must pass through your broker's approved API system. TradeMade builds systems that comply with these requirements.

Do my clients need to share their broker login?

No. Clients generate an API key from their own broker account (Zerodha, Upstox, etc.) and share only that — not login credentials. The key is revocable by them at any time. This is the standard SEBI-compliant approach.

How many clients can the system handle?

Our systems have been deployed for RAs with 5 to 200+ client accounts. Execution time scales near-linearly; typically all orders across 50 accounts are placed within 3–8 seconds of signal.

What happens if my strategy produces a loss for clients?

The risk management layer can enforce per-client daily loss limits, auto-squaring positions at a set drawdown. Beyond that, your advisory agreement with clients governs liability — TradeMade provides technology only.
