HDFC Securities introduces curated algorithmic strategies on InvestRight and HDFC SKY for equity and F&O traders

HDFC Securities, one of India’s leading brokerage firms, has launched a curated suite of algorithmic trading strategies on its InvestRight and HDFC SKY platforms. The offering provides 16 ready-to-use models (six for equity and ten for F&O) that enable clients to automate their trades based on predefined rules, without needing to build strategies or code on their own.

With this launch, HDFC Securities aims to democratize access to systematic investing and trading tools that were traditionally available only to advanced or institutional participants. The strategies draw on rule-based approaches such as trend-following, mean reversion, and momentum, and are designed to help investors cut out emotion, follow a disciplined process, and respond faster to changing market conditions.

Available via the InvestRight app and web platform as well as the HDFC SKY discount broking platform, the White Box Algo strategies can be discovered, reviewed, and activated in just a few steps. Users can search and filter strategies by segment, trading experience, and style, view back-tested performance snapshots, risk indicators, and key parameters, and then allocate capital to the strategy of their choice. Once activated, orders are generated and executed automatically as per the underlying model, while investors retain full visibility and control over their portfolios.

Commenting on the launch, Dhiraj Relli, MD & CEO, HDFC Securities said, “Our customers increasingly seek intelligent tools that help them navigate volatile markets with discipline and speed. By introducing a curated marketplace of model-based strategies across equity and F&O, we are giving them access to institutional-style capabilities on the same trusted platforms they already use. Clients can now explore, compare, and deploy ready strategies in minutes, while we take care of the heavy lifting on technology, execution, and compliance.”

The White Box Algo strategies offering is powered by AlgoBulls, a SEBI-compliant quant trading infrastructure partner that specializes in building, testing, and operating algorithmic models for Indian brokers and their clients. The underlying infrastructure adheres to global information security standards and uses dedicated compute for execution, helping ensure robust performance and operational resilience.
