Free static IP for broker API trading
A dedicated static IP is included free with every account, with all taxes (subject to availability). Many brokers need a fixed IP to allow API access. Many other trading tools charge extra for that static IP, or ask you to set up a proxy yourself. With Stocks Developer it is included and assigned for you, so you can save up to ₹500 per broker trading account per month and you do not have to configure anything. If a free static IP is not available for your broker, you are not stuck: you can bring your own IP (BYOIP). Buy a dedicated static IP directly from any static IP vendor and add it to your account — see the Static IP Setup guide for suggested vendors and the steps. One case where this applies today: for Angel One, a free static IP from our pool is not available, so you bring your own IPv4 static IP for an Angel One account.
In short
Many brokers need a fixed (static) IP to allow API trading. With Stocks Developer, a dedicated static IP is included free with every account, with all taxes (subject to availability).
One exception — Angel One. A free static IP from our pool is not available for Angel One right now. For an Angel One account you must bring your own IPv4 static IP (BYOIP). See Static IP Setup for the steps.
Many other trading tools treat the static IP as an extra. Some charge for it. Others give you nothing and ask you to set up a proxy yourself. With us, you pay nothing extra and you do not configure anything — the IP is assigned for you, and you just whitelist it with your broker.
That is a saving of up to ₹500 per broker trading account per month. If you run several accounts, the saving adds up fast.
What if a free static IP is not available?
A free static IP from our pool is offered subject to availability. If one is not available for your broker at the moment, you are not stuck — you can bring your own IP (BYOIP):
- Buy a dedicated static IP directly from any static IP vendor. You buy it yourself, so it is always available to you.
- Add that IP to your account in one place (Settings → My Proxies, then assign it while adding the account).
The Static IP Setup guide walks you through this — it lists sample static IP vendors, what kind of IP to buy, and the exact steps to add your own IP. If you are not sure which option fits you, reach out and the team will help you pick.
Why a static IP matters
Many Indian brokers only allow API access from a fixed IP address that you register with them. A normal internet connection changes its IP often, so it does not work for this. You need a static IP that stays the same.
So a static IP is not a nice-to-have for API trading — for many brokers it is required. The only question is whether you pay extra for it, set it up yourself, or get it included.
What it costs elsewhere vs. with us
| Static IP | Do you set it up yourself? | |
|---|---|---|
| Stocks Developer | Included free with every account | No — assigned for you, you just whitelist it with your broker |
| Some other trading tools | Charged extra | Often yes — you add proxy details yourself |
| Build it on your own server | You pay for the server | Yes — you whitelist the server IP yourself |
Stocks Developer never names other companies. The point is simply that what others charge for, you get included.
What you save
A free static IP saves you up to ₹500 per broker trading account per month:
- One account: up to ₹500 per month.
- Five accounts: up to ₹2,500 per month.
- Ten accounts: up to ₹5,000 per month.
And this is on top of our price already being final — all taxes are included, with nothing added later.
You do not have to configure anything
With a do-it-yourself setup you have to find a static IP, pay for it, and enter proxy details correctly. One mistake and your broker blocks the connection.
With Stocks Developer there is no proxy to set up. A dedicated static IP is assigned to your account in one click, and you simply register that IP in your broker’s dashboard. If you would rather use your own IP, you can do that instead.
See the Static IP Setup guide for the steps, or Broker rejects your IP if your broker is not accepting the IP yet.
Getting a free static IP on a new account
When you add a new account and take a free static IP from our pool, two things apply:
- Your wallet needs at least one month’s charge first (₹295–495, depending on your price tier). Taking our static IP starts your paid month right away — there is no free trial on these brokers — so your wallet must be able to cover it. If it cannot, you will see this message: “To get a free static IP, your wallet needs at least ₹… (one month’s charge for this account). Please add funds from User → Account → Payment and try again.” Add funds to your wallet and try again.
- The account is recharged for one month as soon as you save it, so the IP is active immediately. If your balance dropped in between, the account is still created, but you will see: “Your account is saved and your static IP is reserved, but we could not recharge it because your wallet balance is low. Please add at least ₹… then recharge the account…” — just add funds and recharge the account from Accounts → Trading Accounts.
Bringing your own IP is different. If you use your own static IP, you keep the free 1-month trial and you do not need wallet balance up front.
