Why don’t FYERS have High Frequency Algo-trading?

Currently, FYERS is focused on providing a seamless trading experience for retail and active retail traders. While High Frequency Trading (HFT) is not offered at this time, FYERS may explore it in the future depending on demand and regulatory considerations.

What is FYERS' focus regarding trading infrastructure?

FYERS prioritizes stability, functionality, and uptime across its trading platforms. The infrastructure is optimized to serve the needs of retail traders and investors, ensuring a smooth, reliable trading experience with high availability and minimal latency.

Does FYERS support High Frequency Trading (HFT)?

No, FYERS does not currently offer support for High Frequency Trading (HFT). HFT is typically associated with institutional-grade trading that involves:

  • Ultra-low latency execution
  • Co-location services
  • Proprietary algorithms with nanosecond response time

These features are not the current focus of FYERS, which caters primarily to retail clients.
