FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How signals, AI review, risk gates and broker execution fit together — and what to expect before you connect real money.

What is Algo AI Trade?

A platform that runs your trading strategy on a schedule, has AI analyze every signal it produces, and routes approved orders to your broker. You can also publish a strategy for others to follow, or subscribe to one published by someone else.

Is this investment advice?

Algo AI Trade is a software tool, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. Strategies, AI verdicts and signals are decision support you configure — you remain responsible for every order placed on your account, live or paper.

Do I need to connect a broker to get started?

No. Every account can run strategies against a built-in paper simulator with no credentials and no capital. Connect a live broker only when you're ready to place real orders.

Which brokers are supported?

Angel One, Dhan, Groww and Delta Exchange, plus the paper simulator. Each strategy runs on whichever broker connection you assign to it, and you can run different strategies on different brokers.

Which markets can I trade?

Strategies can scan NSE and BSE equities, commodities and crypto. Intraday strategies run on 15-minute candles, swing on daily and positional on weekly, and you can scan a fixed list, an index such as NIFTY 500, or the liquid eligible universe.

Do I need to code to build a strategy?

No. The strategy builder has a tab for each part — schedule, symbols, indicators, entry, exit, risk and execution — and validates everything before it can go live. If you prefer, edit the definition as JSON with an AI assistant, or create a manual strategy and publish your own signals by hand.

What does the AI actually check before a trade?

It reads the signal — the instrument, direction and the rule that triggered it — and returns a rationale, the key risks it sees, and a confidence score. You can require a passing verdict before a signal is allowed to execute, or review verdicts after the fact.

What execution modes are available?

Advisory (no orders are placed), manual (the signal waits on your orders screen), semi-automatic (you approve each order) or automatic. A live broker connection can't place a real order until it passes a verification run, and automatic placement needs a second, explicit arm step.

What stops a bad signal from becoming a bad order?

A fixed set of pre-trade gates runs on every order regardless of execution mode: a platform-wide kill switch, instrument-class checks, a signal-age limit, a cap on open positions, and a daily loss limit. The limits are set on the broker connection, so no strategy can relax them.

Can I test a strategy before risking money?

Yes — backtest any strategy version against historical candles and review the resulting trades and metrics. It's the exact same definition that runs live, so nothing changes at the point you go live.

How does Publish & Follow work?

A strategy owner publishes a strategy; other users subscribe to its signals. Each follower executes on their own broker connection with their own position sizing and risk gates — the owner never sees or controls a follower's account or capital.

Can people who follow my strategy see its rules?

No. Followers see the signals your strategy emits and its track record, never its definition. You can unlist it at any time.

How is pricing structured?

By license, not by strategy count: one license per strategy you run or follow, and one per broker connection. See the Pricing page for current rates and the free trial.

How do I cancel a subscription?

From your account billing page, any time. Access continues until the end of the period you already paid for, and none of your strategy or trade history is deleted.

What happens to open positions if my licence lapses?

Strategies stop running and no new entries are placed, but exit signals, order syncing and approvals already issued keep working — you can always close a position you hold.

Does the AI place trades on its own?

No. The algorithm generates the signal and your broker executes the order; the AI only reviews the signal and returns a rationale, key risks and a confidence score. Whether that verdict gates execution is your choice, and the pre-trade risk gates run regardless of what the AI says.

Can I run more than one strategy or broker?

Yes. Each strategy runs on whichever broker connection you assign to it, so you can keep an intraday strategy on one account and a swing strategy on another, or trial a new broker on a small strategy before moving your main ones over. Each strategy and each broker connection takes one license.

What is included in the free trial?

Every new account gets a 30-day free trial with 1 strategy license and 1 broker license — enough to build a strategy, backtest it, and run it on the paper simulator or a connected broker.

Does a backtest guarantee how a strategy will perform live?

No. Backtests run on historical candles and can't fully model slippage, liquidity or broker-side execution quirks. Treat a strong backtest as a reason to move to paper mode next, not a reason to skip it.

How will I be notified about signals?

Choose in-app, email or push for each notification type. Signals from strategies you follow have their own switch, so you can quieten them without losing alerts from your own strategies.

How is my account protected?

Passwords are hashed, broker credentials are encrypted at rest, and you can sign in with two-factor authentication (email codes or an authenticator app), passkeys or Google. You can review active sessions and trusted devices at any time.
