Why We're Not SEBI Registered — And Why That's Fine
If you've been exploring algo trading platforms in India, you've likely noticed that some platforms advertise SEBI registration. Here's the truth: SEBI registration is required for entities giving investment advice. We don't.
What We Are
Trade Metrix is a software platform. We provide the tools to build, backtest, and deploy algorithmic strategies. Think of us as a code editor + execution engine — not a portfolio manager.
What SEBI Registration Means
SEBI-registered entities (RIA, PMS, etc.) are legally allowed to:
- Provide personalized investment advice
- Manage portfolios on behalf of clients
- Give stock tips and recommendations
We do none of these things. Our platform is a toolbox — you build your own strategies, you make your own decisions.
The Advantage
Because we're not a registered advisor, we don't need to audit or restrict your strategies. You have full freedom to implement any logic, trade any instrument, and use any risk profile you choose. No compliance gatekeeping.
The Responsibility
This freedom comes with responsibility. You are solely accountable for your trading decisions. Our software executes what you build — nothing more, nothing less. Always test thoroughly, start small, and never risk capital you can't afford to lose.
