Can I delay static IP setup?

Brokers already reject non-whitelisted order origins. Delay means your bot stops placing trades — often discovered only after a missed signal.

IPv6 vs IPv4 for SEBI compliance?

Both work when broker portal accepts them. Algo-IP offers IPv6 dual-stack at ₹99/month and IPv4 at ₹200/month. Confirm your broker whitelist field supports IPv6 before choosing.

SEBI April 2026 Static IP Deadline: What Algo Traders Must Do Now

SEBI and NSE now require static IP for retail API order placement from April 2026. Compliance checklist, broker deadlines, 10 OPS rule and how to get a dedicated Indian IP fast.

What changed in 2026

SEBI and NSE retail algorithmic trading framework requires brokers to identify API order origin. From April 2026 onward, API-based order placement must come from registered static IP addresses. WebSocket market data and read-only endpoints may differ by broker, but order APIs are strict.

Who needs a client static IP?

Tech-savvy investors running self-hosted Python/Node/Java bots against broker APIs
TradingView webhook receivers placing real orders
Agency platforms provisioning one IP per end client
NOT required if you only use broker-hosted vendor platforms (vendor uses broker server IP)

10 orders per second (OPS) registration threshold

Below ~10 OPS per exchange segment, retail traders typically do not need separate algo registration — but static IP whitelisting still applies. Above threshold, register strategy with exchange through broker.

Compliance checklist before market open

Dedicated static Indian IPv4 or IPv6 (not home dynamic, not shared VPN)
IP whitelisted in each broker developer portal you trade through
Bot routes ALL order REST + WebSocket through that IP
Pre-market ipify check matches whitelisted address
Access token generated after IP verification
Audit logs retained (order request/response timestamps)

Fastest setup path with Algo-IP

Register → KYC (Aadhaar + PAN) → wallet top-up → allocate IPv4 ₹200/month or IPv6 ₹99/month → whitelist IP on broker → configure proxy in bot. Most traders complete in under 30 minutes excluding KYC review.

How this compares to AWS/GCP static IP

Cloud elastic IPs work but add latency from non-Mumbai regions, cost more when bandwidth included, and rotate on infrastructure rebuilds. Algo-IP bundles Mumbai datacenter egress, proxy credentials, health checks and 177-broker directory compatibility.

Competitor landscape

Platforms like TradeSteady, residential IP sellers and DIY ISP static lines compete in this niche. Datacenter dedicated IPs with explicit broker whitelisting — Algo-IP model — match what Zerodha, Dhan and NSE documentation describe for tech-savvy API users.
