Alice Blue + MetaTrader 5
Live, tick-by-tick NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX data inside MetaTrader 5 through your own Alice Blue API credentials. Alice Blue provides API access free of charge, and an Alice Blue API session lasts up to 60 days, so unlike most Indian broker APIs there is no daily login to sit through. That is what we measured in October 2026 — session length is set by Alice Blue and can change, so confirm it with them. From ₹999/month.
What this is
The TradexCodez MT5 Bridge runs on your own machine and connects MetaTrader 5 to your Alice Blue account using your own API credentials. It creates NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX instruments inside MT5 as real, chartable symbols, streams live prices into them, builds charts on all 21 timeframes, and routes your orders back out to the broker — within Alice Blue’s API terms.
There is no middleman server holding your credentials or your order flow. Everything stays between your PC and your broker.

Thirty seconds: live Indian market data on MetaTrader 5 charts through the Bridge, and one-click trading from the chart. The same Bridge, configured for Alice Blue.
The 60-day session, and why it matters
Most Indian broker APIs expire their session every night. With Zerodha, Upstox, Fyers and Angel One you log in again each trading morning before your charts come back to life. Alice Blue issues a session that stays valid for up to 60 days.
In practice that means you set it up once and your terminal is simply ready the next morning. If you have ever missed the first ten minutes of a session to a login screen, this is the difference you will notice first.
The cost difference, plainly
Our price is the same whichever broker you choose. What differs is what the broker charges you for API access — and that is paid to them, not to us.
| Via Alice Blue | Via Zerodha | |
|---|---|---|
| TradexCodez licence | from ₹999/month | from ₹999/month |
| Broker API access | free of charge | ₹500/month for Kite Connect |
| Daily login | not required — session lasts up to 60 days | required every trading day |
| Static IP | required for order execution | required for order execution |
Broker charges are set by the broker and can change — confirm the current position with Alice Blue before you subscribe. The Static IP requirement comes from SEBI’s algorithmic trading framework and applies regardless of which broker you use; it is not needed for market data alone.
What you get inside MetaTrader 5
- Live NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX data — tick by tick, on all 21 MT5 timeframes
- Individual option strikes as real symbols — each strike charts with its own history, indicators and backtesting. MetaTrader 4 cannot do this at all
- The whole Alice Blue universe — NSE, BSE, NFO, BFO and MCX contract masters load together, close to 290,000 instruments, so the strike you want is already there
- Intraday history that loads in market hours — minute bars arrive months per request, so a chart of tens of thousands of bars fills without a long wait
- One-click execution — pair it with AIO OCT for entry with stop-loss, target and trailing attached on fill, or the Options Trader panel for the option chain
- Your own credentials — your keys, your data, your machine
What you need
- An Alice Blue account with an API app created in their developer console — you will need the App Code and API Secret it gives you
- Windows 10 or above · Core i3 or above · 4 GB RAM or above · 40 GB available storage
- MetaTrader 5 installed — a free demo account is sufficient for charting
- Static IP — required for order execution, per SEBI’s algorithmic trading framework. Not required for market data alone
- A TradexCodez licence configured for Alice Blue — see bundles and pricing
One licence, one broker
Each licence is configured for a single broker and stays with it for the life of the subscription. If you want to move to a different broker, you can do that when you renew. We price it this way so you are not paying for integrations you do not use.
Other brokers we support: Flattrade · Fyers · Upstox · Angel One · Zerodha Kite Connect.
Common questions
Does Alice Blue charge for API access?
No. Alice Blue provides API access free of charge, with no monthly fee — the main cost difference against Zerodha, which charges ₹500 per month for Kite Connect. Broker pricing is theirs to change, so confirm the current position with Alice Blue before you subscribe.
Do I really not have to log in every day?
Correct. An Alice Blue API session is valid for up to 60 days, so once it is set up the Bridge keeps working across days without a fresh login. Every other broker we support expires the session overnight.
Which segments can I chart?
NSE and BSE cash, NFO and BFO options and futures including individual strikes, MCX futures and commodity options, and the index symbols. The Bridge loads the Alice Blue contract masters for all of these together.
Do I still need a Static IP?
Yes, if you want to place orders, in line with SEBI’s algorithmic trading framework. It is not required if you only want live charts and market data.
Is TradexCodez affiliated with Alice Blue?
No. We are an independent software company. Alice Blue is one of the brokers our Bridge connects to, using their published API. We are not partnered with, endorsed by or affiliated with them, and we receive nothing from your choice of broker.
Try it before you pay anything
If you want to see MetaTrader 5 running on Indian data first, our free NSE EOD Bridge charts 2,600+ NSE stocks with no broker account and no payment at all. It is end-of-day rather than live, but it shows you the platform on real Indian instruments before you commit to anything.
