What is Algorithmic Trading?
Algorithmic trading uses computer code to execute trading orders automatically based on pre-defined technical rules (such as moving average crosses, breakout levels, or volatility filters).
The main benefit of algorithmic execution is the complete elimination of human fear and greed. Orders execute with millisecond precision according to your plan.
Connecting Python to Indian Broker APIs
Most major Indian discount brokers (including Zerodha Kite Connect, Dhan, and Fyers) provide REST APIs and WebSocket feeds that allow Python scripts to place market/limit orders and stream live tick data.
We teach students how to write modular Python scripts using `pandas`, `ta-lib`, and `backtrader` to verify that a strategy was historically profitable before committing live capital.
