Samco Trade API is a service that connects your trading code directly to Samco’s platform. It lets you place, modify, and cancel orders, fetch live and historical market data, track your portfolio and open positions, and stream real-time prices all programmatically, without using a trading interface manually.

The simplest way to think about it: you write the rules, the API carries them out. If a stock hits your target price, your code can place the buy order automatically with no manual clicking required.

It works across all major segments from a single API connection. You do not need separate setups for different market segments. One integration gives you access to the full range of markets available on Samco’s platform.

The Trade API is built for traders who want speed, consistency, and the ability to act on signals without delay. It is also useful for anyone who wants to pull structured market data into their own tools, build custom dashboards, or run back-tests on historical price data.
