Technology
A layered platform built around the order path.
AlphaSync separates interfaces, product applications, intelligence, services, data and connectivity — and places the pre-trade risk engine where it matters: between an order’s creation and the broker.
Platform architecture
Six layers, one platform
Each product is an application over shared services. Technologies are shown at framework level; implementation details are not published.
-
01
ExperienceWeb interfaces
Trading terminal, desks, faculty and learner views, admin consoles — role-aware and responsive.
ReactTradingView charts -
02
ApplicationProduct applications
Edge, Campus and HedgePro as distinct applications over shared services, with per-product permissions.

IntelligenceStrategy & decision support
Strategy evaluation, Alpha Auto scoring, analytics and the educational AI Mentor. Automation only acts when a user enables it.

ServicesAPIs & business logic
Python services expose REST and WebSocket interfaces for market data, orders, portfolio and strategy control; the pre-trade risk engine sits here, in the order path.

DataPersistence & audit
Accounts, orders, fills, strategy versions and the audit trail of automated activity. Written asynchronously, off the order path.

ConnectivityBrokers & markets
Adapters to supported broker APIs for NSE, BSE and MCX order routing and market data. Orders always execute through the user’s own broker account.

The order path
Risk is checked before an order leaves the platform
Every order — from the terminal, a strategy or the API — follows the same path. Nothing on the path waits for disk: persistence for the audit trail happens asynchronously.
- 01
Signal or order
A user action, strategy rule or API call creates an order intent.
- 02
Pre-trade risk
Capital, drawdown, daily-loss and exposure limits checked against live risk state.
- 03
Construct & tag
Instrument, quantity and order type set; order tagged to its source.
- 04
Broker adapter
Sent through the user’s broker via its official API.
- 05
Acknowledge & record
Exchange acknowledgement returned; fill and events written to the audit trail.
Retail algorithmic orders in India route through broker order APIs under SEBI’s framework. Read our summary of the framework
APIs
The same infrastructure the interface uses.
The API suite exposes market data, order management, portfolio state and strategy control over REST and WebSocket, with JSON over HTTPS. Access is available to partners, institutional clients and approved developers.
- REST endpoints for market data, orders, portfolio and strategies
- WebSocket streams for real-time updates
- Scoped API keys and rate limiting
- Isolated sandbox with virtual capital
- Python SDK
Connectivity
Broker and market connectivity.
AlphaSync connects to brokers through their official APIs for NSE, BSE and MCX order routing and market data. Users authenticate directly with their broker, never share their broker password with AlphaSync, and can revoke access at any time.
- Funds and positions stay in the user’s broker account
- Revocable, broker-side authentication
- A strategy is defined once and routed through the connected broker
- Live option chain available through supported brokers

Intelligence layer
Decision support that stays under the user’s control
Strategy engine
Evaluates rule-based strategies during market hours and creates tagged orders.
Alpha Auto
Scores opportunities by confidence and regime, trading within position caps only when switched on.
Analytics
Attribution and execution-quality analysis over fills and strategy versions.
AI Mentor
Educational assistant that explains concepts with its reasoning — not investment advice.
Engineering principles
How we engineer for trading.
Principles from AlphaSync’s engineering practice, described in more depth in our execution-pipeline article.
- 01
Nothing on the order path waits for disk
Risk state is held in memory and updated on fills; persistence is asynchronous.
- 02
Measure the tail, not the average
Latency is tracked by percentile per broker, order type and session.
- 03
Warm connections
Broker adapters keep connections ready so orders don’t pay setup costs.
- 04
Everything else off the hot path
Notifications, analytics and recalculation are queued away from order handling.
Performance & reliability
We publish measured figures only.
Latency, throughput and availability figures will be published when they are measured in production and accompanied by methodology. In the meantime, the status page shows live reachability.
