In short

Axis Direct is an Indian stock broker that runs on the Symphony XTS API. To use it with AutoTrader Web, get your App Key and App Secret for the Interactive API package, then add the account in AutoTrader Web. The steps are the same for every XTS broker, so follow the Symphony XTS guide below.

How to connect Axis Direct

Axis Direct uses the Symphony XTS API. AutoTrader Web supports both the XTS RETAIL and PRO / DEALER APIs for XTS brokers.

The setup is identical to any other XTS broker:

  1. Get your App Key and App Secret for the Interactive API package from Axis Direct.
  2. In AutoTrader Web, go to the menu (Accounts -> Trading Accounts) and create a new account.
  3. Enter your App Key and App Secret, then Validate and Save.

For the full step-by-step guide with screenshots, see the Symphony XTS setup guide.

Bracket and cover orders on Axis Direct

Whether Axis Direct offers a bracket or a cover order of its own — and in which segments — is set by the broker, and it can change. Many Indian brokers withdrew bracket orders in 2020 and never brought them back.

You can place one anyway. An AutoTrader bracket order (AT_BO) attaches a target and a stop-loss to your Axis Direct order, with an optional trailing stop that follows the price in your favour and never moves back. An AutoTrader cover order (AT_CO) is the same thing with a stop-loss only. Your entry reaches Axis Direct as an ordinary intraday order — the one thing every broker accepts — and AutoTrader Web watches the price and sends the closing order when your level is reached.

Place one from the order window, from your own code, or from a chart alert. It is intraday only, it does not give you the extra intraday margin some brokers give on their own bracket orders, and the position is squared off automatically a short while before the market closes.

Read the risk before you use it. A stop-loss decides when we try to exit — it does not decide the price you get. A sudden move can take the price straight past your level, so your loss can be larger than the stop-loss you set. The full explanation, and the one-time terms you agree to before your first one, are on Bracket & Cover Orders.

Frequently asked questions

Does AutoTrader Web support Axis Direct?▾

Yes. Axis Direct is fully supported. You can connect one or many Axis Direct accounts and monitor live P&L, holdings and positions, place and manage orders, and copy trade across all of them from one screen, on web or mobile.

Can I copy trade with Axis Direct?▾

Yes. You can copy trade with Axis Direct in two ways — PMS copy from our terminal and master-child copy in the background — across accounts and brokers, with per-account sizing. You set up and control everything.

Can I manage multiple Axis Direct accounts together?▾

Yes. Add as many Axis Direct accounts as you like and see consolidated P&L, holdings and positions live, and trade across all of them at once.

How much does it cost to use Axis Direct with AutoTrader Web?▾

AutoTrader Web is ₹295 to ₹495 per account per month, with all taxes included, and a free 1-month trial. Your account also needs a static IP — this is required for every broker, not optional. You can buy a Premium static IP we set up for you (₹299 per month, faster and more reliable), take a Standard static IP from our pool (₹200 per month), or bring your own IP for free — all prices include tax. If Axis Direct charges separately for API access, that fee is set by the broker.

Can I place a bracket order on Axis Direct?▾

Yes. You can place an AutoTrader bracket order (AT_BO) or cover order (AT_CO) on your Axis Direct account, whether or not Axis Direct offers one of its own. It attaches a target, a stop-loss and an optional trailing stop, and it works because your entry goes to Axis Direct as an ordinary intraday order while AutoTrader Web watches your levels. It is intraday only and gives no extra margin, and a sudden price move can still take your exit past the level you set.
