New to india..

#1
Hey guys,

I'm new to trading in India. I have recently visited India on vacation
and have subsequently been researching the markets there.

I'm an experienced futures/options/equities trader mainly venturing in
the US and Europe. I'm more specialized in trading equity and future options.

I have been trying to find a decent platform to trade with in India, but haven't found anything close to tradestation or Interactive Brokers platforms. Does anyone have ideas on who can provide a comparable platform? I'd prefer an integrated software with realtime quotes, candle stick charts and order execution, though thats not a strict requirement.

For my preferences, I need realtime charts with intraday tick data (or
atleast 1min candles). I also like to see a matrix based order entry.

Another thing which I'd like to have is an API to forward order
execution. Does anyone know any brokerage which provides such an API?
This is mainly for auto hedging or delta neutral type trades which are
automated. I haven't found much volatility in the options market for safe theta selling, but IV based premium selling strategies look promising in Indian markets. Lastly, I expect to do medium to large volume, so service is more important to me than a few cents on commissions. Hope you guys can provide some good feedback.

Regards.
