We build and run our own trading engine.
Arihant Algo LLP writes and operates a price-ladder trading system for equity, futures and commodities on Indian exchanges. It trades our own capital, and it runs on AWS in Mumbai.
The engine
One program owns every strategy, every order and every position. We wrote it to be strict about what it does not know.
Price ladders
Buys or sells in steps away from a reference price fixed at the start, and books each step at its own target.
One strategy, several brokers
A strategy can run on more than one broker account at the same time, each at its own size.
Fails safe
Missing data or an unknown state means no new orders. Every strategy has a kill switch, a daily loss limit and an exposure cap.
Checked against the broker
Every order is matched with the broker's own order book. A mismatch stops the strategy until a person resumes it.
Runs the trading day
Logs in, starts, pauses and resumes on schedule, and picks up where it left off after a restart.
Tested
2001 automated tests that run offline, and two audits of how it handles failure, in October 2026.
On AWS
Everything runs in the AWS Mumbai region, ap-south-1. This is what is live today.
Our brokers
Amazon EC2, Mumbai
Stored on AWS
Why Mumbai
Every order makes a round trip to the broker, so distance to the broker decides the region. A server in Europe or the US would add about 150 ms to each one.
Least privilege
The database login can read and write the app's tables and nothing else. The server's role can only write its own logs to S3. Broker logins are stored encrypted.
About
