About this Guide
Algorithmic trading rules in India changed significantly after the new SEBI regulatory framework introduced in 2025. For many retail traders, the changes created confusion — what is allowed, what requires registration, and how these rules affect everyday API users.
This guide by QuantForensic breaks down the SEBI algorithmic trading framework in simple language. It explains what changed, why the regulations were introduced, how the 10 Orders-Per-Second (OPS) rule works, and what retail traders need to do to remain compliant when using APIs or automated strategies.
Inside the document, you will learn:
- Why SEBI introduced the new algo trading framework
- The difference between white-box and black-box algorithms
- When strategy registration is required
- What compliance rules apply to retail API users
- How to verify whether an algo platform is legally compliant
If you trade using APIs, subscribe to algorithmic strategies, or are building your own trading system, this guide will help you understand the regulatory landscape clearly.
