Static IP Setup

Every broker requires a static IP for your trading account’s API. It is mandatory, not optional — an account without a registered static IP cannot place orders. You can take a static IP from us or bring your own; either satisfies the requirement, but you must have one. The setup is the same for every broker, so this single guide applies to all of them.

Your static IP options

On the account edit screen there is one Static IP button. Click it and a popup shows the options for your broker.

If your broker supports IPv6 — one paid option:

Option	What it is	Price
Buy Premium Static IPv6 from us	One IPv6 static IP — a primary and a backup address (the backup is included free). The fastest and most reliable option.	₹100 per month
Bring your own IP (BYOIP)	Your own static IP proxy from a proxy vendor, if you would rather supply one.	Free

We do not offer the Standard IPv4 pool option on a broker that supports IPv6. On those brokers IPv6 is faster, more reliable and cheaper (₹100 instead of ₹200), so there is no reason to put an IPv4 pool IP on them — the Static IP popup will not show it. We also do not recommend using an IPv4 static IP at all on a broker that supports IPv6. If you specifically need IPv4 on such a broker, the only way is Bring your own IP.

If your broker is IPv4 only — three options:

Option	What it is	Price
Buy Premium Static IPv4 from us (recommended)	A dedicated static IP we set up for you — faster and more reliable, a dedicated IP just for you.	₹299 per month, 3-month minimum to start
Buy Standard Static IPv4 from us	A static IP from our pool.	₹200 per month
Bring your own IP (BYOIP)	You supply your own static IP proxy from a proxy vendor. A broadband static IP from your internet provider will not work — why.	Free

All prices are inclusive of all taxes — the number you see is the number you pay.

How the charge works

This section is about a static IP you take from us. If you bring your own IP, none of it applies — see Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP).

• A pool IP’s first month is charged when it is assigned. For a Premium static IPv6 (₹100) or a Standard static IPv4 (₹200), keep at least the IP’s monthly price in your wallet — the IP cannot be assigned if the balance is short.
• If you take the IP before saving the account, the charge lands when you save it. Until then the IP is only reserved for you. Keep the balance in your wallet until the account is saved. If the balance has gone by then — usually because that account’s monthly recharge went out in between — the account is still saved, but without the static IP, and we email you. Nothing is charged for the IP in that case, and the address is no longer yours, so remove it from your broker’s dashboard and take a static IP again. See We could not add your static IP to your new account.
• A Premium static IPv4 starts with a 3-month payment. The first purchase of a Premium static IPv4 we set up for you is for a minimum of 3 months (₹897). After that it renews every month on its own, as long as your wallet has balance and that account’s licence is active.
• It renews with your account recharge. After the first charge there is no separate payment to remember.
• Renewal needs an active account. A static IP renews only while that trading account’s licence is active. If the account expires, we stop renewing its static IP and send you an email, so an account you no longer use does not keep paying for an IP. Recharge the account to keep the same IP.
• Each account is billed for its own static IP. A static IP belongs to one account and is charged on that account’s own recharge.
• You never pay past your account’s expiry date. A static IP is never paid for beyond the expiry of the account it belongs to. If less than a full month is left on the account when the IP renews, you are charged only for those days — the monthly price divided by 30, times the number of days (with 12 days left, a ₹100 static IP costs ₹40). The charge line shows the days and the date the IP is paid until. See Why your static IP charge was less than a full month.
• A replaced IP costs nothing extra. If an IP has to be replaced (for example, your broker rejects it), contact support — we replace it free and the new IP continues on the time you already paid for.

My broker’s screen only asks for a Primary IPv4 — where is IPv6?

If your broker is on the IPv6 list above, the option is there — it is just easy to miss. Look again on that screen before you type an IPv4 address. Brokers present it in different ways:

• an IP type choice (IPv4 / IPv6) that changes which box you fill in, or
• a separate IPv6 field alongside the IPv4 one, or
• a second row or Add button for another address.

The exact wording differs by broker and they do change their screens, so we cannot give one label that fits all of them.

Do not enter an IPv4 address just because it is the first box you see. On a broker that supports IPv6 we do not sell you an IPv4 static IP at all, so an IPv4 box on their screen is not something we can fill for you — your only IPv4 route there would be bringing your own IP, which we do not recommend when IPv6 is available.

IPv6 is the better choice wherever your broker supports it — faster, more reliable, and ₹100 per month instead of ₹200. You also get a primary and a backup address for that one price, so register both with your broker while you are on that screen.

If you have looked properly and there is genuinely no IPv6 option, contact us before entering anything, and we will check the current screen with you.

Can I skip the static IP, or stop paying for it?

No. A static IP is required for every broker, and it is what your broker checks on every request. There is no broker you can connect and trade on without one.

• You cannot skip it at setup. Without a static IP registered with your broker, your orders are rejected with an “IP not registered” style error. See Broker rejects your IP.
• You cannot stop paying for it and keep trading. If you let the IP go, that account can no longer place orders. The only free way to satisfy the requirement is to bring your own IP — which still means having a static IP, just one you bought yourself from a proxy vendor instead of from us.
• It is not a temporary or first-month-only cost. The IP renews every month along with that account’s recharge, for as long as you use the account.
• It is per account. Each trading account needs its own static IP and is billed for its own.

So the only real choice is which option you take, not whether you take one. If cost is the concern, the cheapest routes are a Premium static IPv6 at ₹100 per month where your broker supports it, or bringing your own IP for free.

Can you get the static IP before saving the account?

This matters when your broker will not create your API app until a static IP is already whitelisted with them. For most options you can take the IP first:

Option	Can you take it before saving the account?
Buy Premium Static IPv6 from us (₹100)	Yes
Buy Standard Static IPv4 from us (₹200)	Yes
Bring your own IP (BYOIP) (free)	Yes
Buy Premium Static IPv4 from us (₹299)	No — save the account first

For the three that work, the address is shown to you straight away, so you can go and register it with your broker immediately — you do not have to save the account first.

Two things to know before you do:

• Keep the first month’s amount in your wallet before you take the IP. The request is refused right away if the balance will not cover it, so top up first (₹100 for a Premium static IPv6, ₹200 for a Standard static IPv4; bringing your own IP needs no balance). The charge itself lands when you save the account.
• Finish saving the account within 24 hours. The IP is only reserved until then. If you take longer, a Standard static IPv4 goes back to the pool — which means an address you already whitelisted at your broker is no longer yours, and you would have to take a new one and whitelist that instead. A Premium static IPv6 is safer here: it stays tied to your broker and login id, so the same address comes back to you even if you take longer.

For a Premium static IPv4 (₹299) the account must exist first. If that is your only option and your broker will not give you an API key without a whitelisted IP, use the tick box: while adding the account, tick “I don’t have my API key yet” and save. The account is saved and kept switched off, so you can buy the static IP for it right away, whitelist it, create your API app, then come back and add your API details. This is the path for Angel One.

IPv6 static IP — recommended where your broker supports it

Whenever your broker supports it on their trading API, we recommend a Premium static IPv6. Here is why:

• Fastest. IPv6 static IPs run with no lag or delay.
• Lowest cost. ₹100 per month, inclusive of all taxes.
• Ultra reliable. They stay stable and dependable.
• Primary + backup included. You get two addresses — a primary and a backup — as one static IP. You pay ₹100 for the pair, and the backup is free. Register both with your broker once, and you always have a spare IP ready. If the primary ever has a problem, the backup is already in place and whitelisted, so you are not left waiting for a new IP.

These brokers support the IPv6 type of static IP today:

• Zerodha
• Fyers
• Upstox
• IIFL
• 5paisa
• Groww
• Dhan
• AliceBlue
• Kotak

This list is about which TYPE of static IP you get — not about whether you need one. Every broker on this list still requires a static IP registered with them. Being on this list only means your static IP will be an IPv6 address at ₹100 per month instead of an IPv4 one. It does not mean the broker works without a static IP, and it does not mean the IP is free or optional. Kotak Neo and Fyers, for example, are both on this list and both need a static IP.

Every other broker we support is IPv4 only — for example Angel One and Motilal Oswal. If your broker is not on the list above, the ₹100 IPv6 option is not offered for it, and you pick from the IPv4 options instead (Premium ₹299 per month, Standard ₹200 per month, or bring your own IP for free). So the price depends on your broker: check the Static IP popup on your account to see exactly what you are offered.

If your broker is not on this list, we strongly recommend you contact your broker and ask them to support IPv6 static IPs on their trading API. The more users who ask, the sooner they add it.

Premium Static IPv4 — a dedicated IP we set up for you

If your broker is IPv4 only, the Premium static IPv4 is the recommended choice. We arrange a dedicated static IP and set it up for your account — faster and more reliable, a dedicated IP just for you. You only have to whitelist it with your broker. It is a paid add-on:

• ₹299 per month for each static IP.
• The first purchase is for a minimum of 3 months (₹897).
• After that it renews every month on its own, as long as your wallet has balance and the account’s licence is active.

If the account expires

This IP renews only while that trading account’s licence is active. If the account expires, we stop renewing the IP and send you an email, so an account you no longer use does not keep paying for an IP you cannot use.

• Recharge the account to keep the same IP. Nothing else to do — you do not have to whitelist anything again.
• If the account stays expired, the IP is released about 5 days after its paid-until date. The email tells you the exact date. After it is released you would need to buy a new static IP and whitelist the new address with your broker, so recharge before then if you want to keep it.
• You are not charged for the IP while the account is expired.

How to buy a Premium static IPv4

You can buy it while editing the account, or from the My IPs page.

While editing the account:

1. First add funds: in the top-right corner, click your name, then Account, and add funds on the Billing tab (you need at least ₹897 to start).
2. Go to Accounts → Trading Accounts and open the account (a new account must be saved first — see the note below if your broker has not given you an API key yet).
3. Click the Static IP button, then choose Buy Premium Static IPv4 from us. Your wallet is charged for the first 3 months (₹897) and the IP is set up for you.

Your broker will not give you an API key until a static IP is whitelisted? Some brokers ask for a static IP before they create your API app. You can still get the IP first. While adding the account, tick “I don’t have my API key yet”, then save. We save the account with your other details and keep it switched off, so you can buy the static IP for it straight away. Whitelist that IP with your broker, create your API app, then come back to the account, enter your API details, save, and mark the account Live on the Accounts → Trading Accounts screen. The account cannot trade until you do that last step.

4. Copy the IP shown and whitelist it in your broker’s dashboard. Until you do this, your orders can be blocked.

From the My IPs page:

• Open Settings → My IPs. The Your accounts tab shows a card for each of your accounts.
• On the account’s card, click Buy Static IP.

The account’s card shows the IP, its status, its expiry, and a Renew button. It renews on its own each month while your wallet has balance and the account’s licence is active.

Standard Static IPv4 — from our pool

For an IPv4 broker, you can instead take a Standard static IPv4 from our pool at ₹200 per month. This is a 2-step process.

Step 1: Get your static IP from our system first

Before creating your broker API, get your static IP from us:

• In our system, go to Accounts → Trading Accounts → Edit or Create Account
• Select your Broker and enter your Login ID
• Click the Static IP button, then choose Buy Standard Static IPv4 from us — the system will immediately reserve a static IP for you (the IP’s first month is charged from your wallet, so add at least ₹200 first)
• Note down the IP shown (one primary IPv4 is provided)

Your IP is reserved for 24 hours. Save your account within this time to permanently assign it — if you do not, this pool address goes back to the pool and you would have to take a new one and whitelist that instead. See Can you get the static IP before saving the account?

Step 2: Register the static IP with your stock broker (existing API key or a new one)

Register the static IP from Step 1 with your broker. You can add it to an existing broker API key, or create a new API key — either works. On your broker’s API screen, fill in the details:

• IP Type: IPv4 or IPv6 (as assigned)
• Primary Static IP: (the IP shown when you took it)
• Backup Static IP: (only for IPv6 — a primary and a backup are provided; the backup is included free)
• Algo Registration Type: Non-Registered
• API/Algo Category: “Below” or “Less than” 10 orders per second

Once the broker API is created, go back to our system, add any API credentials which may be pending, click Validate and Save the account. The static IP will be automatically applied to your account.

For a walk-through, watch this YouTube video: How to map Static IP?

Changing or removing your static IP

If you need a different static IP for an account (for example, your broker says the IP is already used by another account), contact our support team. We will replace it with a new IP free of charge, and the new IP continues on the time you already paid for — so you never pay twice. Then register the new IP with your broker, come back, click Validate and Save.

To simply remove the IP from an account: go to Accounts → Trading Accounts, click the pencil (edit) icon next to the account, and click the dustbin (delete) icon next to the IP address shown. A paid IP you removed stays reserved for you until its paid time runs out, so you can attach it again without paying a second time; taking a brand-new IP instead is a fresh charge.

If you delete the whole account and add it back

You keep the same static IP, as long as you add the account back with the same broker and login ID:

• A paid IP is held for you until its paid time runs out.
• An IP you have only just taken is held for about 2 days.

Add the account back within that time and the same address comes back on its own — there is nothing to whitelist with your broker again. After that the IP is released, and adding the account back gives you a new address to whitelist.

If you added the account back and it shows no static IP, the paid IP is still yours — see Static IP missing after you deleted and added the account back. Do not buy a second IP for that account; ask us to link the one you already paid for.

Angel One — Premium or bring your own

Angel One is IPv4 only (it does not support IPv6), and the Standard pool option is not offered for it. So for an Angel One account the Static IP popup shows two choices:

• Buy Premium Static IPv4 from us — we arrange a dedicated IPv4 static IP and set it up for your account; you only whitelist it in your Angel One dashboard (₹299 per month, 3-month minimum to start, ₹897). See Premium Static IPv4 above.
• Bring your own IP (BYOIP). Buy a dedicated IPv4 static IP yourself and add it — see Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) below.

---

Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP)

Use this option if you have a dedicated VPS or proxy server that you want to use instead of an IP from our system. It is free — we never charge for an IP you bring.

Note: Only one IP source can be active at a time. Choosing BYOIP will automatically remove any IP you took from us, and vice versa.

What kind of IP works here

It has to be a proxy, not just an address. We send that account’s broker requests through a proxy that answers on your IP, so you enter four things: a host, a port, a username and a password. A proxy vendor gives you all four together.

A static IP from your internet provider will not work. The static IP you can buy as an add-on on a broadband or leased-line connection (for example from Airtel, Jio or BSNL) is only an address — there is no proxy behind it, nothing is listening on any port, so there is no port for you to enter and nothing for us to reach. That is why your provider never gave you a port, and asking them for one will not help.

You could install proxy software on your own computer and forward a port to it, but we do not recommend it: the account could then trade only while that computer, its internet line and its port forwarding were all up, and a home or office line is far less steady than a data centre.

For BYOIP, buy a dedicated static IPv4 proxy in an India location from a proxy vendor — see Buying a proxy static IP below. Or take a static IP from us and skip the setup. Full explanation: Can I use my internet provider’s static IP?

If a saved IP cannot answer, your login fails with a “Connect timed out” message — see Connect timed out to your own IP.

Renewing your own IP

We never charge for your own IP and we do not track when it expires. Renew it with your provider. If it stops working, your static IP provider will reject all requests, so your account cannot reach your broker until you renew.

The dates you see in the app are not about your own IP:

What you see	What it means
Account license till	Your trading account’s licence with us. It has nothing to do with your IP.
IP valid till	Shown only on a static IP you bought from us. Your own IP never has this.

On your account’s card in Settings → My IPs, an IP you brought yourself is marked Your IP, and the card says we do not track its expiry.

Buying a proxy static IP

You only need this if your broker does not support IPv6. For IPv4, the static IPs from our pool already perform well. If you want your own IP, you can buy a static IP proxy from a third-party vendor and use it as your BYOIP.

When you buy, make sure the proxy matches these points:

Criteria	What to choose
Where you buy it	A proxy vendor. Not your internet provider — a broadband or leased-line static IP is only an address, not a proxy, and cannot be used here.
Type	Datacenter IPv4, dedicated static IP. Do not buy a Pay-per-GB or rotating plan — those give a changing IP, and your broker needs one fixed address.
Location	Mumbai (or anywhere in India).
What you must get	Host, port, username and password — all four. If a seller cannot give you a port, it is not a proxy.

You can search online for proxy vendors that meet the above criteria. A few sample vendors:

Vendor	Notes
staticip.in	India-based proxy provider.
algoip.in	India-based proxy provider.
IPRoyal	IPs in Mumbai and Rajasthan. Choose Datacenter → Create a new order, set Proxy location to India.

These vendors are listed only as examples — we are not affiliated with any of them. Compare and pick whatever suits you.

Step 1: Save your proxy in the Proxy pool

Before assigning a proxy to an account, register it once in your proxy pool:

• Go to Settings → My IPs and open the Proxy pool tab
• Click “Add Proxy”
• Fill in the details:

Field	Description
Label	Give name of account you are going to use this proxy for (helps identify easily)
Proxy Host	The connection address your vendor gave you — usually a hostname, sometimes an IP. See the note below.
Port	Port number (1–65535)
Username	Proxy authentication username
Password	Proxy authentication password

• Click Save

You can add multiple proxies here and reuse them across accounts.

Important: Proxy Host is not the same as your static IP

Your vendor usually gives you two different addresses, and they are easy to mix up:

	What it is	Where it goes
Connection address	The server we connect to, often a hostname	The Proxy Host field above
Your static IP	The address your broker sees	Register this with your broker

Do not put your own static IP in the Proxy Host field. It often still connects, so the proxy saves and validates without any warning — but it can take a much slower route to your vendor’s server, and you then get random timeouts that are hard to trace. If your vendor gave you a connection address, use that one, even when it looks different from your static IP.

If your vendor gave you a hostname, enter the hostname — not the IP it points to. Both work today. But vendors move a hostname to a different server when they need to, and a hostname keeps working when they do. An IP typed in by hand does not, and the account stops trading with no warning.

If you are unsure which of the two addresses is which, ask your vendor: “which address should I connect to, and which one do I register with my broker?” They will know.

Step 2: Assign the proxy to your trading account

From the account edit screen:

• Go to Accounts → Trading Accounts and open the account — or a new account you are still filling in, because you can attach your own IP before saving it (see Can you get the static IP before saving the account?)
• Click the Static IP button and choose Bring your own IP (BYOIP)
• Select the proxy from your saved list and click “Apply”
• You will see the proxy displayed with a “Your IP” badge

Or straight from the My IPs page:

• Open Settings → My IPs. On the Your accounts tab, find the account’s card
• Click “Use your own IP” and pick the proxy from your list
• The card then shows the IP, with Change and Remove buttons

Changing your proxy

• Click the Static IP button again on the account edit screen, choose Bring your own IP
• Select a different proxy from your list and click “Apply”

Removing your proxy

• Click the “Remove” button next to the IP display
• The system will clear your proxy and return the account to unassigned state
• You can then use the Static IP button to take a static IP from us instead

Managing your proxy pool

• Go to Settings → My IPs → Proxy pool tab at any time to add, edit, or delete saved proxies
• The list shows how many accounts use each proxy. A proxy that is in use cannot be deleted — move those accounts to another IP first
