Best Trading Apps For Advanced Trading

Advanced trading in India has entered a new era. NSE and BSE are among the world's most active derivatives exchanges; SEBI has tightened algo trading norms, and a new generation of platforms has risen to match the demand. Whether you're scalping Nifty options, building algos on F&O, or trading commodity contracts on MCX, here are the best apps built for serious Indian traders.

Best Trading Apps For Advanced Traders

915 by Groww

Groww, India's No. 1 stockbroker by active investors, launched 915 as a standalone trading terminal designed specifically for high-volume and professional traders as part of a broader diversification push.

It was created by engineers, designers, and traders who know the markets inside out. Every feature comes from real trading-floor experience.

915 is a modular "blank canvas" with powerful, purpose-built widgets. The platform focuses on speed, customisability, and a real-time data engine. Think of it like building your own trading desk: you pick the widgets (option chain, straddle charts, P&L tabs), arrange panels, drag and resize, and split intraday vs. positional views.

Key Features

• Place orders, view open positions, and indicators on multiple chart types. You don't need to leave the chart to execute orders, open positions, and technical indicators; all live on the same canvas.
• Historical straddle charts, customizable dashboards, low-latency execution, and the ability to share setups and strategies with peers.
• Execute trades directly from charts with handy keyboard shortcuts on 915. Scalper Zone is a dedicated product within 915 with its own feature set.
• The Straddle Chart is arguably 915's most distinctive feature. Track ATM straddles in real time with live candlestick charts, explore historical straddle trends, and analyse price action like a pro, all in one place. It covers all major indices and commodities, Nifty, Sensex, BankNifty, MidcpNifty, FinNifty, Bankex, CrudeOil, CrudeOilM, Gold, GoldM, NatGasMini, NaturalGas, Silver, and SilverM.

Angel One

Angel One distinguishes itself through a hybrid model that blends traditional advisory with modern algorithmic capabilities.

Angel One offers a full-service brokerage app that offers a mix of trading, investment, and AI-powered (ARQ) advisory services. SmartAPI, its developer interface, supports algo trading, giving technically inclined traders the best of both worlds: actionable signals from AI and the ability to automate their own strategies.

Brokerage: ₹0 on equity delivery | ₹20/order on intraday & F&O

Segments: Equity, F&O, Commodities, Currency, Mutual Funds, IPOs

Upstox

Upstox is a solid trading platform that strikes the right balance between simplicity and complex technology. For traders, the Pro platform is where it earns its stripes.

Upstox's Pro API offers competitive API access at lower cost. It supports across equity, F&O, commodity, and currency segments. The documentation has improved significantly in 2025, making it more developer-friendly. Upstox's flat-fee brokerage keeps algo trading costs manageable for high-frequency execution strategies. The app offers customizable watchlists, real-time data feeds, and fast execution speeds, all critical for intraday and derivatives traders who need to act on signals instantly.

Dhan

Launched in 2021 by Pravin Jadhav (formerly of Paytm Money), Dhan was built specifically for "Super Traders" who felt other apps were too basic. By focusing on lightning-fast execution and deep integration with TradingView, Dhan has quickly carved out a niche as a technology-first platform for the serious Indian investor.

Dhan's Options Trader is one of the most powerful options-focused tools on the Indian market, with an interactive option chain, Greeks display, and basket order support built into the core app, not bolted on as an afterthought. GTF

Samco

Samco and BlinkX are among the best apps for options trading in India because they provide advanced option chain analysis, Greeks, and professional trading tools. For F&O traders who want a purpose-built options workflow, not a stock-trading app with options bolted on, these platforms deliver.

BlinkX (Samco's evolved platform) features real-time Greeks across the entire chain, strategy payoff visualizations, and fast order execution, tools that serious options traders in India's highly active Nifty/BankNifty market need as table stakes.

Fyers

Fyers has built its identity around one thing: being the best charting-oriented broker in India. Its web platform (Fyers Web) ships with a full TradingView integration out of the box, making it the go-to choice for technical traders who live and breathe charts.

Fyers offers lightning-fast execution, TradingView integration, advanced options tools and algo support, and zero brokerage on equity delivery. The Fyers API is well-documented and actively maintained, attracting a growing community of algo traders building strategies on top of it.

Sharekhan

Sharekhan, now part of Mirae Asset, provides "Trade Tiger," a powerful desktop platform with advanced charting and heatmaps for active traders, along with in-depth stock research, market analysis, and personalized investment advice.

Trade Tiger is one of India's oldest and most battle-tested advanced desktop platforms. It's favored by traders who want the depth of a full-service broker, analyst calls, sector reports, and advisory alongside a proper active trading terminal. The brokerage is percentage-based (higher than discount brokers)
