Algo trading software, built by someone who trades

Why TradexCodez exists

MetaTrader 5 is one of the best charting and automation platforms available to a retail trader anywhere in the world. Indian brokers do not ship it with NSE, BSE or MCX data. That leaves a trader here with two bad options: use the platform and give up the market, or trade the market on whatever their broker’s web terminal happens to offer.

Nearly everything we build comes out of closing that gap, and out of a second one behind it — that having a good idea about the market and having software that acts on it are separated by a wall of work most traders have no way to cross.

The person behind it

TradexCodez is the work of Shanker Madhavarajan, based in Chennai, with 20+ years in the IT industry and 14+ years trading the Indian markets.

That combination is less common than it sounds, and it is the whole reason this exists. Most trading software is built by developers who have never traded a live account, or specified by traders who cannot build. The first produces tools that are technically sound and useless at 9:20 in the morning — a dialog box that needs three clicks when the move is happening in one. The second produces ideas that never ship.

Every tool here started as something needed on a live trading desk, was built for that desk, and only afterwards became a product. The exit-management tools in particular exist because managing exits by hand is the part of trading that fails under pressure, and no amount of experience fixes it reliably.

Support comes from the person who wrote the code. There is no tier one.

What we build

• MT5 Bridge — live NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX data into MetaTrader 5 through your own broker API, with order routing back out
• One-click execution panels — Options Trader for multi-leg options work, AIO OCT and OneClick Lite for everything else
• MetaTrader 5 indicators — MFI_Signals, AutoFibonacci and Dashboard, bundled free with the plans
• Python tooling — Options Monitor, AutoTrader, the EOD F&O Scanner and Auto SL & TP Manager
• Free NSE EOD Bridge — daily data for 2,600+ stocks in MT5, no broker account and no payment
• Custom development — your strategy, coded to your specification, from ₹999

Custom development is the larger part of the business. The products are what came out of doing it.

How we work

On a custom build: you describe the strategy, we ask the awkward questions until nothing is ambiguous, then quote a fixed price with a scope and a timeline before any code is written. Not hourly — a slow week should be our problem, not yours. You test in sandbox or paper mode against live prices, then at minimum quantity, and defects inside the 7-day support window get fixed rather than requoted.

If you are weighing up getting something built, our guide to specifying a strategy sets out what to write down first. It will save you money whoever you end up hiring.

What we do not do

Worth stating plainly, because in Indian retail trading the usual assumption about anyone selling trading software is that a tips channel is close behind:

What we sell is tooling. What you do with it is your decision and your risk.
