I am sorry if this is already answered and I could not find answer for the same.
While I am going through few articles in kite.trade forum and release notes by Zerodha, I came to know that end to end automation of a strategy is not possible and we need get approval for the same. If I have orders api available with me, I can execute my BUY/SELL orders via same (based on few signal using my strategy). I don't understand where exactly i need approval in this process. Can someone throw some light on this?
From Zerodha's Perspective, It's grey area....

It may take some years for exchanges to officially authorize Broker's API for auto execution of trades for retail traders.
