Algo Trading with Sharekhan: What You Need to Know

Sharekhan is one of the prominent Indian brokers with 25 lakh+ customers. As an Indian broker, Sharekhan serves the domestic market through NSE, BSE, MCX, NFO.

Sharekhan by BNP Paribas offers TradeTiger terminal and API for advanced trading. Backed by one of the world largest banking groups.

How AlgoKing Enhances Your Sharekhan Experience

AlgoKing is not a replacement for Sharekhan — it is a powerful complement. While Sharekhan provides execution infrastructure through TradeTiger API, AlgoKing provides the intelligence layer: 325 pre-built, professionally designed algorithms that you can learn from, test, and simulate before ever placing a real trade.

Think of it this way: Sharekhan is your trading vehicle and AlgoKing is your flight simulator. You master the algorithms in simulation first, then deploy them confidently through your Sharekhan account.

What Makes Sharekhan Unique

BNP Paribas backing provides global financial expertise. TradeTiger is a powerful desktop terminal. Strong research and advisory services with dedicated relationship managers.

Brokerage: Percentage-based or flat fee depending on plan

Ideal for: Sharekhan is best suited for traders who want institutional-grade tools backed by a global banking group.

The Limitation: Why Sharekhan Alone Is Not Enough

Higher brokerage than discount brokers. API is primarily through TradeTiger which requires desktop setup. Limited mobile API support for algo trading.

This is exactly the gap AlgoKing fills. Instead of spending months learning to code trading bots for TradeTiger API, you get 325 professionally designed algorithms covering Options, Futures, MCX Commodities, and Stock Futures — ready to simulate from day one.

The Smart Approach: Learn First, Trade Later

Here is the recommended workflow for Sharekhan users:

  • Step 1: Get AlgoKing and explore the 325 algorithm library in simulation mode with real market data
  • Step 2: Identify which algorithms match your trading style and risk tolerance
  • Step 3: Study how these algorithms perform across different market conditions — trending, sideways, volatile
  • Step 4: Once confident, connect your Sharekhan account through TradeTiger API for live execution
  • Step 5: Start with small position sizes and scale up as you gain confidence

This approach eliminates the most common reason traders lose money: deploying untested strategies with real capital.

AlgoKing Pricing for Sharekhan Users

AlgoKing offers six one-time purchase tiers:

  • Starter (Rs 5,899): Core algorithms for options and futures
  • Professional (Rs 9,399): Extended library with trend and momentum strategies
  • Enterprise (Rs 12,499): Full options and futures coverage
  • Ultimate (Rs 14,999): All MCX commodity and stock algorithms
  • Master (Rs 17,299): Advanced and AI-powered strategies
  • Supreme (Rs 19,199): Complete 325+ algorithm access with lifetime updates

Compare this to the cost of developing custom algorithms for TradeTiger API — hiring a Python developer costs Rs 50,000 to Rs 2,00,000, and you get maybe 5 to 10 strategies. AlgoKing gives you 325 for a fraction of the cost.
