Understanding Autotrading in NSE Future markets

1 min read

Currently NSE allows traders to do two types of autotrading from your Trading Terminal. Semiautomated trading for Retail Traders and Full Automated trading for Dealers with Nest Trading platform(Dealer Terminal).

For Retail Clients: The Buy/Sell signal from your Trading Analysis Terminal is converted as an order and reflects on your Nest Trading Terminal. The client will have to authorize this order after reviewing and this is placed on the exchange (semi-automated).

For Dealers: The Buy/Sell signal from your Trading Analysis Terminal is converted as an order and placed automatically on your Nest Trading Terminal(Dealer Terminal). This can be completely automated or semi-automated based on your requirement. You can determine if the order is limit/market and place a stop loss at the same time completely automated.
