Trade F&O's (BANKNIFTY NIFTY50, etc.) via Python

Hi,

As per the documentation on Kite Connect (1= link below), it says that we can only trade in Equities, Commodities & MF's.

I am interested in automated buying/selling of Futures based on an Algo I have designed. Is it possible to do the same via Kite Connect?

Hey @neel2323 , placing automated trades isn't allowed for retail traders by the exchanges.

@Nikhil.A thanks for your prompt reply. By automated I mean, my algo will compute the outcome in the background and pass on a buy/sell call to the zerodha system.

I read the documentation of Kite 3.0 API and couldn't find a mention that this is available only for non-retail customers. The document I am referring to is linked below:

You can place orders for NFO using Kite Connect APIs but as per the exchange regulation, a user has to manually login at least once a day.
