Introduction
Imagine this.
You've spent hours identifying the perfect trade setup. The stock finally crosses your entry level, but you got a call or were busy reading breaking news. By the time you place the order, the move is gone.
Or worse, you enter on time… but exit early because fear kicks in.
This is exactly the problem algo trading solves.
Instead of watching screens and monitoring charts all day and placing orders manually, you create a set of rules that automatically monitors the market and executes trades when your conditions are met.
And unlike a few years ago, you don't need to be an institution, a quant, or even know coding to do it. And with ArihantPlus, you don’t even have to pay for expensive third-party platforms.
Using ArihantPlus Algo Trading Platform, anyone can automate their trading in multiple ways: from ready-to-use strategies and building your own strategy without coding to AI-powered strategy creation and professional trading APIs.
It’s very simple and is suitable for everyone from a beginner and trader to investor and a professional trader.
What are ArihantPlus Algos?
ArihantPlus Algos is an all-in-one algorithmic trading platform that lets you discover, build, backtest, and deploy automated trading strategies directly from your ArihantPlus account.
Whether you're trading equity, futures, or options, you can choose from ready-to-use strategies created by SEBI-registered Research Analysts and curated third-party algo providers (like Hedged and Stratzy), build your own strategy using a no-code rule builder or AI, or connect through Trading APIs for complete customization.
Every strategy follows the same simple workflow:

Before going live, you can study the strategy logic, review historical performance, understand the capital required, and test how it would have behaved across different market conditions.
Once deployed, the strategy runs on ArihantPlus' server-side infrastructure, continuously monitoring live markets and automatically executing entries, exits, stop-losses, and profit targets based on its predefined rules. You can monitor live positions, orders, and P&L from the same unified dashboard.
Let’s understand each ALGO TRADING METHOD one-by-one.
Method 1: Start with ready-to-use algo strategies
If you're new to algo trading, this is the easiest way to begin.
Inside the ArihantPlus Algo Marketplace, you'll find strategies created by SEBI-registered Research Analysts (RAs) as well as curated third-party algo providers. Instead of building logic yourself, you simply choose a strategy that matches your trading style.

What you'll see before deploying
Every strategy includes transparent performance information such as:
Historical returns
Maximum drawdown
Capital required
Risk profile
- Backtest performance
This helps you evaluate a strategy before putting real capital to work.
How it works
Log into ArihantPlus Algo

- Open the Strategy Marketplace
- Filter by intraday, positional, options, equity or futures, Nifty, Sensex, etc and capital required
- You’ll find a list of strategies that’ll match your criteria
- Review the strategies’ metrics (how it works, performance, exit strategy, etc)
- Pick the one that you find most suitable for you
- Backtest it yourself
- Deploy it in one click
Important: Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Backtesting is a validation tool, not a promise of profitability.
What can you do with ArihantPlus readymade algos?
Risk-managed trading, built into the algo: With ArihantPlus Algos, risk management is built into the strategy logic. Once deployed, the algo can automatically manage entries, exits, stop-losses, targets and trailing conditions, helping you stick to the strategy without hesitation or emotional intervention.
Automate complex options strategies: ArihantPlus lets you deploy ready-made options strategies where multiple legs can be managed through predefined rules. Entries, adjustments and exits are automated, so you don't have to monitor and manage every leg manually.
- Let the algo watch the market: Once deployed, your ArihantPlus algo continuously monitors the market and acts when its predefined conditions are met, so your strategy doesn't depend on you being in front of a screen at the right moment.
Method 2: Build your own strategy without coding
You already have a strategy that you’ll know generate profit for you? With ArihantPlus algo trading platform you can convert it into an algorithm without writing Python or any other code. Promise!
ArihantPlus offers two different builders:
Option A: Rule-based builder
This is ideal if you understand technical analysis. Instead of coding, you fill a visual form.
No syntax. No programming. Just logic.
With over 190+ technical indicators, you can combine trend, momentum, volatility and volume conditions to create sophisticated systems.
Option B: AI Strategy Builder
This is where it gets interesting. Instead of selecting conditions manually, you simply describe your strategy.
You type:
Buy Nifty when the 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA, RSI is above 60, keep a 1% stop loss and trail profits by 2%.
The AI interprets your prompt, structures the trading logic, and prepares it as an algo strategy that you can review, edit and backtest before deployment.
It's one of the fastest ways for discretionary traders to transform ideas into automated systems.
Method 3: Build professional algos using APIs
If you're comfortable with Python or already build trading systems, ArihantPlus provides Tradebridge APIs for complete flexibility.
You'll be able to connect your own applications, fetch live market data, generate signals, and place orders programmatically.
Typical API workflow
- Login to the Arihant Developer Console
- Generate your API Key and API Secret
- Create your application
- Authenticate your API session
- Connect using REST or WebSocket APIs
- Execute orders from your own strategy
You can find full API documentation here to get you started.
This route is ideal for quantitative traders, custom dashboards, machine learning models and fully automated execution engines.
Every strategy follows the same workflow
Whether you choose a marketplace strategy, build one visually, or code your own - the lifecycle remains identical.
Step 1: Create
Choose one of the three methods that fits your experience.
Step 2: Backtest
Run your strategy on historical market data to understand how it would have behaved across different market conditions.
A good backtest helps answer questions like:
- How often does the strategy win?
- What's the maximum drawdown?
- How much capital does it require?
- Does it survive volatile markets?
Step 3: Validate
Review the results before going live. Fine-tune entries, exits, position sizing and risk management if needed.
Step 4: Deploy
Once you're satisfied, deploy the strategy directly from ArihantPlus. The platform continuously monitors live markets and executes trades whenever your predefined conditions are met.
Which path should you choose?
We understand every trader is different, and everyone has their own learning curve. Hence we offer multiple ways to trade in algos, so that you can graduate naturally. Many traders begin with marketplace strategies, then build their own rule-based systems, and eventually move to APIs as their experience grows.

We know that successful trading has always been about more than just having the right tools. It's about having the right guidance when you need it. And that matters even more when you're exploring something new like algo trading.
