Coding Strategies Using Zerodha Api

Hi,

I’d like to code some strategies that will automatically fire orders using Zerodha Api ?
What is the best place to start with ?
I don’t know Python but I am from the computer background and have got my hands dirty with the C++ during college.

So I think with after going through the small learning curve, I will be able to do so.

I have few more questions like :-1:

(1) is it possible to code indicator based strategies or not ?
(2) Can we also trade futures or options or is it limited to Equities only
(3) Can it only be used for giving buy/sell orders or can it do more like exit position, exit CO/BO, modify stop loss, cancel stop loss etc ?

Last but not the least, is it fully automatic or there are some exchange based restrictions that we see in streak ?
Please help

Thanks

kite connect had lots of Wrappers for rest api .
https://kite.trade/docs/connect/v3/#libraries-and-sdks , if your from C++ backGround , then go for C# , not python.or else you can write your own rest http api calls from cpp also ,use any rest clients libs in cpp.

  1. And a Big YES to all your question ,you can do all of your wish list .api related info is there at kite.trade/docs.
  2. For automatic Trading , you need to login only once per day ,(around 8:4am or any starting time ) , and you use that Access Token retrieved at login time throughout the day .
  3. Api login had different flow , see kite trade docs and youtube, its not straightforward .
  4. login is done at your side ,and no body going to see whether you used automated or manual login.
  5. Login related api ,instrument token ,websockets ,you can ask in kite.trade forums . For Indicators search in github .
