Secure algo trading: safety built in before speed

The biggest risks in algo trading are a bug that sends the wrong order and an account that is exposed. Trade Shastra is designed so a mistake costs simulated money first, and real orders need several deliberate steps.

Safety by design

• Paper first: bots trade simulated books, with results published so claims can be checked.
• Live orders are triple-locked: a server-level switch, a shadow-then-live mode, and a timed arming step you must confirm by typing a phrase. Bots never send real orders on their own.
• Hard limits: per-order and daily caps, stop-loss, trailing bands and maximum drawdown rules.

Account and data security

• Sign-in through Google or email with passwords stored only as hashes by the authentication provider.
• Row-level security keeps each user's data separate.
• Broker connections use TOTP and OAuth flows. Access is read-only by default.
• Encrypted transport (HTTPS) everywhere, and no personal or financial data is placed in URLs.

What we do not claim

• No platform can promise zero risk or guaranteed returns. Security reduces operational risk; it cannot remove market risk.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an algo trading platform secure?

Limited permissions, strong authentication, encrypted connections, per-user data isolation, hard risk limits and a deliberate human step before real money moves.

Can Trade Shastra withdraw money from my broker?

No. Broker access is read-only by default and the platform has no ability to move funds.

Where can I read the privacy policy?
