Searches for "algo trading India 2025" are surging as brokers migrate to SEBI's new approval framework. SureGain codifies each checkpoint so prop desks can launch strategies faster without compliance pushback.

Five updates you cannot ignore

  1. File Form AT with revised net-worth disclosures before onboarding new algos.
  2. Benchmark your NSE colo latency budget at < 500µs to compete on opening auctions.
  3. Map MCX product throttles into your SmartFlow throttling rules to avoid auto-disable.
  4. Integrate trade-by-trade RMS checks with MT4/MT5 bridges when routing FX legs.
  5. Backtest with real transaction cost analysis (TCA) using SureGain tick replay.

Trending execution styles

Volume participation algos that switch to synthetic TWAP during low liquidity windows are dominating mid-cap futures. Crypto desks prefer liquidity-seeking POV algos tethered to Binance spot order books to arbitrage USDT pairs overnight.
