Connectivity issues at Zerodha Kite

[lonstud]

Hello,

I am considering Zerodha's Kite platform for trading. However, I found the following post at their forum regarding downtime:

https://quant.zerodha.com/forum/discussion/326/important-oms-connectivity-issues

One of the quotes which concerned me is "You r charging for these Api so I don't want to hear any excuses...I understand if it happens once in year...but it is not acceptable if it happens multiple times in a week. "

Any users of Zerodha Kite on this forum which can comment upon the downtime issues. How often do they happen and what is the average duration of downtime?

Did you see this?

Let's hope they find a solution quickly.

Yes. It appears they are work in progress. Are you using Kite yourself. If yes, Please let me know how often do downtime happens? By downtime, I also mean delays in filling/placing orders.

No man. Stopped trading with them quite a long time ago. The same issue. Stability of the trading platforms.

If you dont mind, please share the stable trading platforms you have used/currently using/know which have support for api trading.

That's the problem, isn't it? APIs. No one really offers them. RKSV has a stable trading platform. Never faced any issue. So is SAS Online's platform. Symphony Fintech is the only professional fully automated solution we have. But then again, that's just for NSE and FnO. No CDS/MCX.

Building a custom solution is the only way. \_(' ')_/

What you mentions seems like even after paying there seems to be lack of service. Probably you can all post in the Zerodha thread, and demand some accountability.
