Flattrade + MetaTrader 5
Live, tick-by-tick NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX data inside MetaTrader 5 through your own Flattrade API credentials — and because Flattrade provides API access 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 Flattrade 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.
There is no middleman server holding your credentials or your order flow. Everything stays between your PC and your broker.

Forty seconds: live NSE charts in MetaTrader 5 on the Flattrade feed, and what it costs.
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 Flattrade | Via Zerodha | |
|---|---|---|
| TradexCodez licence | from ₹999/month | from ₹999/month |
| Broker API access | free of charge (as with Fyers, Upstox, Angel One and Alice Blue) | ₹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 Flattrade before you subscribe. Fyers, Upstox, Angel One and Alice Blue also provide API access without a monthly fee — see their pages below. 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
- 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
- A Flattrade account with API access enabled — free of charge from the broker
- 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 Flattrade — 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: Fyers · Upstox · Angel One · Zerodha Kite Connect · Alice Blue.
Common questions
Does Flattrade charge for API access?
No. Flattrade provides access to its trading and market data APIs free of charge, with no monthly fee. That is the main cost difference against Zerodha, which charges ₹500 per month for Kite Connect. Confirm the current position with Flattrade directly, since broker pricing is theirs to change.
Do I still need a Static IP with Flattrade?
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 Flattrade. It is not required if you only want live charts and market data.
Do I need to write any code to use Flattrade with MetaTrader 5?
No. The Bridge is an installer. You generate your API key and secret in your Flattrade account, enter them once, and the symbols appear in MetaTrader 5. No Python and no programming is involved in using it.
Can one TradexCodez licence cover both Zerodha and Flattrade?
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 Flattrade?
No. We are an independent software company. Flattrade 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.
