What does Trade Arena do?
Trade Arena copies option calls from the Telegram channels you follow into your own Fyers or Groww account. It reads each message with AI, checks the call against the limits you set for that channel, and places the order with a stop-loss and target attached. It then manages exits, follow-up messages and the 3:15 PM square-off.
How do I auto-trade option calls from a Telegram channel?
Sign in, connect Telegram and Fyers or Groww, and add the channel. From then on each option call it posts — NIFTY, BANKNIFTY or a stock option, in whatever shorthand the channel uses — is read by AI, checked against the limits you set, and placed in your own account as a limit order with the stop-loss and target at the broker. New channels trade on paper first.
Which Telegram channels can I copy?
Any channel or group your Telegram account has joined, public or private. You pick from the list of chats you are already in, or paste a private invite link and the app joins it for you. Each channel gets its own instruments, lot size and risk limits.
What if the channel posts in shorthand, or splits a call across two messages?
Each channel is read as a conversation, not one message at a time. A call missing its strike or instrument is held for 10 minutes and merged when the completing message arrives. Follow-ups like "book half", "exit all" or "trail the sl" attach to the trade they mean. A message it is not sure about goes to your approval queue instead of to your broker.
Can I test a channel before risking money?
Yes. Every new channel starts on paper: its calls are simulated, not sent to your broker, and you can watch its record build up. It moves to live trading when its paper record clears the bar shown in the app, or when you switch it yourself.
Can I approve each trade myself?
Yes. Run a channel fully automatic, or in confirm mode, where each entry waits for your approval and times out if you do not answer. One Stop trading button stops every new entry across every channel at once.
Which brokers and instruments are supported?
Fyers and Groww, for intraday options: NIFTY and BANKNIFTY plus F&O stock options. Lot sizes and expiries are synced from the exchange master every morning. MCX commodity options trade on Fyers only.
What does it cost?
It is free while we’re in beta. There is no charge per order or per message, and we will tell you before the free period ends. A dedicated static IP, which live API orders require, is assigned when live trading is approved for your account.
Do I need a broker to start?
No. Every channel you add trades on paper from day one, at live prices, and paper trading needs no broker. After 30 days on paper you can request live trading; we call you to set up your broker and your dedicated IP.
Why do I need a static IP?
SEBI's algo-trading rules require every live order placed through a broker's API to come from a static IP registered to you. A home or mobile connection changes address and is shared, so it does not qualify. Trade Arena assigns your account its own dedicated IP; you register it once with your broker: in your Fyers app, or on Groww's API keys page.
Is my broker account safe?
Your broker keys (your Fyers app's keys, or Groww's TOTP pair) and Telegram session are stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and you can revoke either at any time: the Trade Arena device in Telegram, the app in your Fyers dashboard, or the TOTP token on Groww's API keys page. Trade Arena never holds your money; every order is placed in your own account, in your name.
Do I need to keep my phone or computer on?
No. Trade Arena runs in the cloud. You do need to log in to Fyers once each morning, because Fyers access tokens expire every day. With Groww there is no daily login: Trade Arena signs in for you each morning.
What happens to open positions at the end of the day?
New entries stop near the close, and anything still open is squared off at 3:15 PM IST. The close routine re-checks itself through the evening, so a restart cannot leave a position open overnight.
Is Trade Arena a SEBI-registered adviser?
No. Trade Arena is an order-execution tool, not an investment adviser or research analyst. It does not recommend trades; it places the calls from channels you choose, within the limits you set. Trading in F&O is risky and you can lose part or all of your capital.
Does it work with Groww?
Yes. Subscribe to Groww's Trade API (live prices are part of its paid plan; orders alone are not enough), create a TOTP token on Groww's API keys page and connect it once; Trade Arena then signs in to Groww for you every morning, so there is no daily login. You can connect Fyers and Groww together and choose the broker per channel. Groww's API does not trade MCX commodities.
