How Groww Users Can Now Unlock Algo Trading with Cirrus: Step-by-Step Guide

Introduction

For a long time, Groww users encountered a key technological limit: there has been no way to directly connect algorithms or automation tools to Groww, because it does not offer a public API. This has prevented retail investors from tapping into the advantages of algorithmic trading - speed, discipline, and efficiency. Now, thanks to the partnership between Cirrus and Groww, it’s finally possible for Groww users to automate trading workflows. This new integration is designed to serve Indian traders who value automation and efficiency in their strategies. (learn about the Cirrus-Groww partnership)

Cirrus stands as an advanced execution platform, bridging the gap between external algorithmic signals and orderly trade management on Groww. While Cirrus does not build or backtest trading strategies or algorithms itself, it allows Groww users to automate trading by executing instructions provided by compatible external platforms or systems. This opens a new realm of possibilities for Groww investors, letting them benefit from algorithmic execution without needing to code or worry about technical integrations that are normally not live on Groww.

Why Algo Trading Matters for Groww Users

Algorithmic trading empowers investors to operate with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence. It can help remove emotional reactions from trading by following systematic instructions, making it ideal for those who want discipline and repeatability in their strategies.

Key benefits include:

• Speed and precision: Orders can be executed rapidly as soon as a signal is generated, minimizing slippage and delay.
• Emotion-free trading: Algorithms follow logic, not emotion, reducing the chances of impulsive or inconsistent decisions.
• Consistency: Predefined strategies can be executed methodically, thereby supporting long-term reliability in decision-making.
• Flexibility: Cirrus provides users with the ability to manage multiple brokers, including Groww, through a single interface, making diversification and cross-platform trading easier. (explore Cirrus’s multi-broker trading platform)
• Access to diverse strategies: By leveraging external signal providers (such as TradingView or proprietary systems), users can automate a variety of market approaches, from momentum to mean reversion and more.

This shift brings the advantages of technology-driven trading to an audience previously limited by manual processes.
