Hi Community,
We have successfully deployed the latest regulatory changes on our platform. While these mandates officially take effect on 1st April 2026, the system updates are now live to ensure your setups are ready for tomorrow’s trading session.
Key Highlights
-
Regulatory Compliance: In line with the SEBI circular “Safer participation of retail investors in Algorithmic trading” and NSE circular NSE/INVG/67858", API trading now requires a registered static IP and Algo registration for strategies exceeding 10 orders per second (OPS).
-
Static IP & OPS Limits: To avoid disruptions starting tomorrow, please ensure your static IP is registered and your strategy remains within the 10 OPS threshold.
-
MCX Trading: API Trading on the MCX exchange is temporarily disabled. We will notify the community as soon as it is re-enabled.
-
Order Types: As previously shared, Market Orders are no longer permitted. To ensure safer execution, Market Price Protection (MPP) is now enabled by default for all order placements.
Please ensure your configurations are updated before the market opens on April 1st. Detailed information on these changes can be found in the link shared below.
For a full breakdown of the original announcement and technical requirements, please refer to our previous post: Important: New SEBI & Exchange Mandates for API Trading.
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
