You may ask your broker to release API, if they don’t have any plan for API then you may try other brokers who offers API.
When you purchase an API subscription, you will be provided API key and Secret with validity of 1 month. With this API key and secret, you can access your trading account using your own programs. Normally one has to use the platform (Ex: Kite, Pi) provided by broker to access their trading account and place order, but with API you can use your own program to access your trading account. API subscription is not any kind of software; just think it as like ATM PIN
No, valid API subscription is required to run our software.
No, you have to purchase API subscription for each account. API subscription is linked to your trading account. If you try login using someone’s API, it will throw error.
We are 3rd party software developers, independent of brokers, and EtaTrader/KiteXL is a 3rd party software. To use EtaTrader/KiteXL, you need to purchase a license from us. API subscription charges are payable to brokers.
We use Razorpay for payment processing. They are one of the most trusted payment gateway providers in India. Your card details are processed at Razorpay server. We don’t have access to your card details. https://razorpay.com/blog/online-payment-security/

EtaTrader is a simple Frontend software built with Trading API. It acts as an intermediary between API server and signal source. EtaTrader receives request (PlaceOrder etc) from client (Excel, AmiBroker, MetaTrader etc) and passes to API server, receives response or error from API server and passes to client.
No, EtaTrader is not an Algo software. An Algo software includes Buy/Sell logic and trades on its own when Buy/sell condition is met as per user inputs. EtaTrader is just like a basic trading platform. The sole purpose of the EtaTrader is to receive request from client (Excel etc) and pass it to API server, receive response from API server and pass it to client.
Excel tools are built with VBA. User can choose from wide range of excel tools as per their need. Most of the excel tools are based on single price action. Example: ORB, Levels Breakout, Future2Option etc
Ami tools are built with AFL. User can choose from wide range of ami tools as per their need. Ami tools are based on Candles. Example: Supertrend, PSAR, Scanner, OrderFromChart etc

Our software is not OMS. Our software just passes your order request to API server. Your order placement is depends on multiple factors starting from your system and network to API server to OMS server. Any issue at any stage may result in failure of your order. P.S. even your broker can’t guarantee order execution.
It’s a myth. During volatility your stop loss order may not have filled or it may not have triggered due to OMS crash or filled with heavy slippages.
Yes, our software is most stable. Most of the errors thrown are either due to your system and network issues or API server issues.

Yes, but we recommend to run in Cloud server. Running trading system in personal laptop may lead to more system and network issues. With cloud server, the risk of fail is negligible when compared to Laptop.
Cloud server is nothing but your laptop except that its remotely located. Check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HelBt2yPX_A
From Cloud server in Mumbai data center, it takes appx 50ms to place an order. From personal laptop, it will be anywhere between 200ms – 2s depend on the location and network of the user.
We support Linode, AWS, Digital ocean and Azure.
It depends on the work load. But minimum recommended is 2vCPU and 4GB RAM, which will cost appx $20 + Tax.
No, EtaTrader uses Tcp connections to receive request from client. Running more than one instance will result in Tcp connection fail.
