Angel One + MetaTrader 5
Live, tick-by-tick NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX data inside MetaTrader 5 through your own Angel One SmartAPI keys — and because SmartAPI is free of charge, there is no monthly data fee on top of your licence. From ₹999/month.
What this is
The TradexCodez MT5 Bridge runs on your own machine and connects MetaTrader 5 to your Angel One account using your own API keys. 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 Angel One'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 Angel One.
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 Angel One | Via Zerodha | |
|---|---|---|
| TradexCodez licence | from ₹999/month | from ₹999/month |
| Broker API access | free of charge | ₹500/month for Kite Connect |
| 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 Angel One 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
- NSE commodity options too — the Bridge lists NSE-commodity contracts alongside MCX, kept apart so a click never lands on the wrong exchange
- 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 Angel One account with SmartAPI enabled — free of charge from the broker; you create the API key and TOTP in the SmartAPI portal
- A daily login — SmartAPI sessions last one trading day; our Auto Login tool signs in with your client code and TOTP each morning
- 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 Angel One — 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 · Zerodha Kite Connect · Alice Blue.
Common questions
Does Angel One charge for SmartAPI access?
No. Angel One provides SmartAPI free of charge, with no monthly fee - the main cost difference against Zerodha, which charges ₹500 per month for Kite Connect. Confirm the current position with Angel One directly, since broker pricing is theirs to change.
Do I still need a Static IP?
Yes, if you want to place orders. The Static IP requirement comes from SEBI's algorithmic trading framework and applies to every broker, not just Angel One. It is not required if you only want live charts and market data.
Are there any Angel One data limitations I should know about?
Two, both on the broker side. SmartAPI does not serve the last ten minutes of option-chain minute history (bars after 15:29 come from the live feed, not from history), and its history endpoint refuses a share of requests during market hours, so a freshly opened option chart can take a few seconds longer to fill than on other brokers. The Bridge retries automatically and gives charts you are trading first.
Do I need to write any code?
No. The Bridge is an installer. You create your SmartAPI key in your Angel One account, enter it once, and the symbols appear in MetaTrader 5. No Python and no programming is involved in using it.
Can one licence cover Angel One and another broker?
No. A licence is configured for one broker and stays with that broker until the subscription expires. You can switch to a different broker at renewal.
Is TradexCodez affiliated with Angel One?
No. We are an independent software company. Angel One is one of the brokers our Bridge connects to, using their published SmartAPI. 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.
