Getting started
Connect a Fyers account (view only)
See your Fyers positions, P&L, balance and live prices next to your other accounts. Orders stay in the Fyers app.
View only
A Fyers account shows your positions, P&L, balance and live prices alongside your other accounts. It cannot place orders, not even exits, the kill switch or copy trading. Fyers' API rules (April 2026) do not allow third-party algo platforms to place orders through the Fyers API. Data-only use is allowed. Place and exit your Fyers orders in the Fyers app or website.
Because nothing can be sent, the order pad doesn't list Fyers accounts. Risk limits on a Fyers account can only alert you; they can't square off.
What you need
- A Fyers trading account.
- Your own API app from the Fyers API dashboard. Note its App ID (like
XC4XXXXM-100) and Secret ID. Set its redirect URL to the address shown in Connect. You don't need to give the app trading permission.
Your Fyers password, PIN and 2FA are only ever typed on Fyers' own login page.
Connect
- Accounts → Add account → Fyers, and give it a name.
- Click Connect. Copy the redirect URL into your Fyers app.
- Enter the App ID and Secret ID, then save. They are encrypted and kept only by the trading engine.
Log in each day
Click Log in to Fyers, sign in on Fyers' page, and you are sent back to Accounts. Fyers ends API sessions every day at 6:30 AM, so log in again each morning. If the session ends early, the account asks you to log in again.
What updates, and how often
| During market hours | Outside market hours | |
|---|---|---|
| Positions (today's open and closed, plus carried-forward) | every 10 seconds | every minute |
| Live prices for your positions and the indices | every 3 seconds | every minute |
| Balance | every minute, while the dashboard is open |
Positions in contracts the platform doesn't list (MCX, currency, BSE) are not shown. Live prices are yours alone: they are never shown to anyone else and never stored.
