Automating trades through brokers enables hands-free execution of trading strategies, increasing speed, efficiency, and consistency. This course covers how to integrate your strategies with broker platforms via APIs and automation tools. We’ll start by introducing the basics of API access—REST APIs, WebSockets, and authentication tokens. You’ll learn how to place orders, modify them, retrieve account status, and handle errors automatically using Python or similar languages. We’ll explore how to schedule strategies, use cron jobs or cloud-based deployment (e.g., AWS), and implement fail-safes like trade logs, retry mechanisms, and notification systems. You’ll get hands-on experience with brokers like Zerodha (via Kite Connect), Fyers, or Interactive Brokers, and we’ll walk through real-time trade placements. Best practices such as handling API rate limits, setting up logging, and maintaining trading hygiene are also emphasized. This course is ideal for those transitioning from manual to automated trading or wanting to build robust systems for their algos.
