Semi Automated Trading Desk for manual traders who want automated risk control.
Take trades manually from your watchlist, then let AlgoSys track target, stop-loss, trailing stop-loss, live P&L, partial fills, and exits automatically based on your predefined risk plan.
Your entry, your decision
You decide when to trade, which symbol to take, and the size you're comfortable with. AlgoSys does not place any entry order without your manual action.
Automated risk after entry
The moment your order fills, AlgoSys detects the position and begins tracking it against your predefined risk plan — target, stop-loss, trailing SL, live P&L — until exit.
Partial fills handled safely
If your order fills partially, AlgoSys tracks only the filled quantity. The unfilled portion is cancelled where applicable. No manual reconciliation required.
Who the Semi Automated Trading Desk is designed for.
Built for traders who take their own entries but want automated discipline and risk management after they're in a trade.
Active manual traders
You actively read charts, take your own entries, and manage multiple positions — but tracking stop-losses and targets manually while watching multiple instruments is draining. The desk takes over after entry so you can focus on your next trade.
Traders who struggle with discipline after entry
You set a stop-loss, then move it when the market nears it. You exit early when you see a quick profit. The Semi Automated Trading Desk locks in your risk plan upfront — and AlgoSys follows it, not your in-the-moment emotion.
Traders transitioning from fully manual to semi-automation
Not ready to hand over entries to an algorithm? Start here. Keep full control of when and what you trade. Let AlgoSys build your confidence in automated risk management before you consider automating entries too.
Six steps from setup to automated risk-managed exit.
The Semi Automated Trading Desk takes over the moment your trade fills — and follows your predefined risk plan through to exit.
What you configure in your risk plan.
Before taking any trade, you set up your risk parameters on the desk. AlgoSys uses these settings automatically after every entry — no manual adjustment needed once the trade is on.
Watchlist
Add and organise the symbols you track and trade. Your watchlist gives you a single view of live prices, position status, and quick-access trade controls for each instrument.
Risk plan per trade
Define how much you're willing to risk on each trade — in rupees or as a percentage of capital. AlgoSys uses this to calculate stop-loss placement and position size automatically when auto-quantity is enabled.
Auto or manual quantity
Choose automatic quantity calculation — AlgoSys calculates lot or share size from your risk amount and SL distance — or override it with a manual quantity. Both modes are available per symbol.
Target, stop-loss, and trailing SL
Set your target level, stop-loss level, and whether to activate a trailing stop-loss. Configure these upfront — AlgoSys applies them from the moment of fill.
Symbol-wise risk settings
Apply different risk plans to different symbols. You can run tighter SL rules on index options, wider rules on large-cap equities, or different target levels per segment — all within the same desk session.
What AlgoSys manages from entry to exit.
Once your order fills, AlgoSys takes over. You don't have to watch the position continuously — the risk plan you defined is followed automatically.
Target monitoring
AlgoSys monitors the open position against your configured target level. When the target is reached, AlgoSys places the exit order automatically through your broker.
Stop-loss monitoring
AlgoSys tracks the position against your configured stop-loss. If price reaches your SL level, AlgoSys exits the position per your predefined rules.
Trailing stop-loss
If you configured a trailing SL, AlgoSys adjusts the stop level automatically as the position moves in your favour — protecting a portion of unrealised gains as the trade runs.
Partial fill handling
If your entry order fills partially, AlgoSys tracks only the filled quantity. The unfilled portion is cancelled where the broker supports it. Risk management applies only to what was actually filled.
Live P&L tracking
AlgoSys tracks live P&L for every open position against your entry price. You can monitor from any device — without being required to act on it.
Kill-switch and override
Emergency exit and manual override are always available. Close any or all positions instantly at any time, from any device, regardless of where the position is relative to target or SL.
Partial fills handled safely — AlgoSys tracks what was actually filled.
When you take a trade, not all orders fill completely — especially for options, illiquid instruments, or large quantities. If your entry order fills partially, AlgoSys detects the actual filled quantity and manages only that. The unfilled balance is cancelled where the broker supports cancellation of remaining open orders, helping keep your position and risk in line with your original plan.
You don't need to track fill confirmations manually or adjust your SL and target after a partial. AlgoSys reconciles the fill and applies your risk plan to the quantity that went through.
The desk also works with strategy signals and approval-based workflows.
Manual entry is the primary mode of the Semi Automated Trading Desk — but if you use strategy signals from TradingView, AmiBroker, the AlgoSys no-code builder, or Python workflows, the desk can surface those signals for your review before execution. You approve or skip each signal. Once approved, AlgoSys routes the entry and then manages post-entry risk with the same target, SL, trailing SL, and partial fill logic described above.
Signal-based with approval
Signals from TradingView alerts, AmiBroker AFL output, the AlgoSys no-code builder, or Python webhooks appear on the desk for your review. You approve or skip. Nothing executes without your explicit action. Post-entry risk management applies the same way as manual trades.
Full automation also available
If you want to move some or all strategies to fully automated execution — no approval step at entry — that is available as a separate mode. Semi-automated and fully automated workflows can run in parallel within the same account, subject to plan limits.
Connect through your own Indian broker.
AlgoSys connects to supported Indian brokers through broker API workflows. Your funds remain in your own broker account; AlgoSys only routes orders based on your configured workflow and manual or approval-based entries.
Your account, your funds
All trades execute in your own broker demat account. AlgoSys does not hold funds or take custody of positions.
Token-based API access
Connect via your broker's API. Revoke access from your broker at any time to immediately stop AlgoSys from placing further orders on your account.
Supported live brokers
Current live broker API workflows include Zerodha, FYERS, Angel One, MasterTrust, Kotak Neo, and Nuvama. See the brokers page for current availability.

What is the AlgoSys Semi Automated Trading Desk?
The AlgoSys Semi Automated Trading Desk is a trading workflow where you take entries manually from a watchlist-based desk, and AlgoSys automatically manages the open position after your entry fills — tracking target, stop-loss, trailing stop-loss, live P&L, and partial fills — and exiting based on your predefined risk plan. It also supports approval-based signal workflows where strategy signals from TradingView, AmiBroker, or other sources are surfaced for your review before execution.
Can I take trades manually and still have automated stop-loss and target management?
Yes. That is the core function of the Semi Automated Trading Desk. You take the entry manually from the desk. The moment AlgoSys detects your order is filled, it begins tracking the open position against your configured risk plan — target, stop-loss, trailing SL, and auto square-off — without any further manual action.
What is a risk plan in AlgoSys?
A risk plan is a set of parameters you define on the desk before trading: how much to risk per trade, your target level, your stop-loss level, whether to use a trailing stop-loss, and how quantity should be calculated — automatically based on risk amount and SL distance, or manually. The risk plan is applied automatically to every position you take through the desk.
How does AlgoSys handle partial fills?
If your entry order fills partially, AlgoSys detects the filled quantity and applies risk management only to that quantity. The unfilled portion of the order is cancelled where the broker API supports cancellation of remaining open orders. You do not need to manually reconcile the fill or adjust your target and SL.
Can I set different risk rules for different symbols?
Yes. AlgoSys supports symbol-wise risk settings on the desk. You can configure tighter stop-loss rules for index options, different target levels for equities, or separate quantity calculation methods per instrument — all within the same desk session.
Does AlgoSys support trailing stop-loss after manual entry?
Yes. If you configure a trailing stop-loss in your risk plan for a symbol, AlgoSys activates it from the moment of fill and adjusts the stop level automatically as the position moves in your favour.
Which Indian brokers are supported?
AlgoSys currently supports live broker API workflows with Zerodha, FYERS, MasterTrust, Angel One, Kotak Neo, and Nuvama. All funds remain in your own broker account; AlgoSys only routes orders based on your manual entries or approved signals. See the brokers page for current availability.
Does AlgoSys provide trading signals, tips, or strategy recommendations?
No. AlgoSys is an automation and execution platform. The desk does not suggest which trades to take, when to enter, or which instruments to trade. All entry decisions are yours — whether you trade manually from the watchlist or use your own strategy signals from TradingView, AmiBroker, or another source.
Can I also use the desk with TradingView or AmiBroker signals?
Yes. The desk supports approval-based signal workflows where signals from TradingView alerts, AmiBroker AFL output, the AlgoSys no-code builder, or Python webhooks are displayed for your review before execution. You approve or skip each signal. Post-entry risk management works the same way as with manual entries.
Is paper trading available?
Yes. The 7-day free trial includes paper mode access. You can test the desk workflow — watchlist setup, risk plan configuration, manual trade entry, fill detection, and position tracking — without placing live orders or using real capital. Paper trading does not guarantee live performance or returns.
AlgoSys provides automation tools, broker connectivity, and execution infrastructure for strategy-driven trading. We do not sell ready-made strategies, provide investment advice or stock tips, or guarantee returns. You trade your own logic, through your own broker account, based on your own decisions. Trading and investing in securities are subject to market risk.
