Inquiry Regarding Dhan API Charges and High-Frequency Trading Capabilities

Dear Team,

I would like to inquire about the charges associated with trading using the Dhan API. Specifically, I would like to understand the brokerage fees involved and whether there are any additional costs or charges related to this service.

Furthermore, could you kindly clarify if high-frequency trading (HFT) can be executed through the Dhan API?

I would appreciate detailed information on both matters. Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
NC

For that, u need to be on a collocated server and take ultra-low latency data feed which has both price and order depth data at the tick level. IMO it is better that the retail stay away from that field where institutional machines are going at war against each other. Most of the retailers don’t have the financial or technical muscle to ace the game against the institutions based on who gets the data faster and who can execute the order quicker to exploit an opportunity.

Aren’t* meant for HFT

What do you mean @optionstrader Aren’t meant for HNF?

Sorry what is HNF ?

high frequency trading!
