PL Capital as the master, PL Capital as a child
Copy trading has two roles. The master is the account you trade in; every child gets a copy of each order.
Master
Trade in PL Capital, copy everywhere
You place orders in your PL Capital account exactly as you do today. The software watches that account and places the same order in each child account — at PL Capital or at any other supported broker.
PL Capital API as master: The PL DigiTrade API is currently free to use. Check with PL Capital for the latest terms.
Child
Copy into PL Capital from anywhere
Your master can be at another broker and this PL Capital account follows it, trading the master's quantity times its own multiplier. Nothing is installed for a child account.
PL Capital API as child: Free for a child account too, on PL Capital's current terms.
What you need
- A Windows PC, or a Windows cloud machine you rent, that stays on and connected during market hours.
- A MyAlgoMate Copy Trading subscription covering your master and the child accounts you want copying.
- PL Capital API access for each PL Capital account. As the master: The PL DigiTrade API is currently free to use. Check with PL Capital for the latest terms. As a child: Free for a child account too, on PL Capital's current terms.
- A static IP registered with PL Capital for each PL Capital account — and, for accounts at other brokers, one registered with their broker. No static IP yet? Our Cloud Server for Algo Trading comes with one, and the free static IP checker shows the IP you connect from.
- TOTP turned on for each PL Capital account, with its secret key saved.
Set up copy trading with PL Capital
Six steps, from API keys to the first copied order. No coding at any point.
- Step 1
Get your PL Capital API details
- Log in to the PL DigiTrade developer portal (pldigitrade.plindia.com), open API Key under your Login ID and copy the Secret Code.
- Set up TOTP and save the secret key.
- Register your static IP.
Do this for every PL Capital account you will use, master and children alike. The full PL Capital setup, field by field →
- Step 2
Install the software and sign in
Install MyAlgoMate's Copy Trading Software on a Windows PC or a Windows cloud machine that stays on during market hours, and sign in with your MyAlgoMate account. Turn on Set time automatically in Windows first: PL Capital logins use a TOTP code worked out from the clock, and a clock that is out by a minute makes them fail.
- Step 3
Add PL Capital as your master or as a child
On the ACCOUNTS screen press Add Master (the account you trade in) or Add Child (an account that receives copies). Choose PL Capital, type an A/C Name you will recognise and enter Client ID, API Key (the Secret Code) and TOTP key. If this account connects through its own static IP (a proxy), fill in the account's proxy block too.
- Step 4
Run the broker IP check
The check opens by itself when you save the account. It confirms PL Capital accepts orders from this account's IP before the market opens, so you never find out from a rejected order. You can re-run it any time from the account's ⋯ menu.
- Step 5
Set each child's multiplier and segments
Every child account trades the master's quantity times its own multiplier — whole numbers, fractions or decimals, and a different figure per segment if you want. Untick any segment you don't want copied into that account.
- Step 6
Log in all accounts and start copying
Press Login All: the master logs in first, then the children. Press START COPY and trade as you always do — in PL Capital's own app or terminal, or from your own algo. Each order is copied into every child account the moment it appears.
Copy between PL Capital and other brokers
The master and each child can be at different brokers, in any combination.
PL Capital ↔ Zerodha
Copy PL Capital orders into Zerodha accounts, or the other way round.
PL Capital ↔ Angel One
Copy PL Capital orders into Angel One accounts, or the other way round.
PL Capital ↔ Upstox
Copy PL Capital orders into Upstox accounts, or the other way round.
PL Capital ↔ Dhan
Copy PL Capital orders into Dhan accounts, or the other way round.
PL Capital ↔ Groww
Copy PL Capital orders into Groww accounts, or the other way round.
PL Capital ↔ Fyers
Copy PL Capital orders into Fyers accounts, or the other way round.

Copy trading with PL Capital — questions
Yes. MyAlgoMate's Copy Trading Software connects to PL Capital (Prabhudas Lilladher) through PL DigiTrade API. A PL Capital account can be the master — the account you trade in — or a child that receives a copy of every order, and it can copy to or from accounts at any of the other 152 supported brokers.
As the master: The PL DigiTrade API is currently free to use. Check with PL Capital for the latest terms. As a child: Free for a child account too, on PL Capital's current terms.
Yes. Every account that places orders through a broker API — the master and each child — needs a static IP registered with its broker, and orders from an unregistered IP are rejected. At PL Capital: Registered with PL Capital. The software lets you give each account its own proxy, so accounts can connect from different static IPs.
No. You enter each PL Capital account's details once, and the software logs it in for you using the TOTP key. Nobody needs to log in to PL Capital separately.
Yes. The master and every child can be at different brokers. Place an order in your PL Capital master and it is copied into child accounts at Zerodha, Angel One, Upstox or any other supported broker — or make PL Capital the child of a master held elsewhere.
Yes. Add one PL Capital account as the master and the others as children. Each child is sized by its own multiplier, and each one needs its own PL Capital API access and its own registered static IP.
Client ID, API Key (the Secret Code) and TOTP key, plus the account's Client ID. You enter them once, and they are stored on your own machine — never on MyAlgoMate's servers.
Yes. The software watches your master account's order book, so an order placed in PL Capital's app, its website or your own algo is copied the same way. If your own algo also signs in with the same PL Capital API key, ask us on WhatsApp before you start — brokers set their own rules on one API key being used by two programs at once.
The software sends the child orders as soon as the master's order appears. What you actually see also depends on how quickly each broker's API replies and on your internet connection; a cloud machine with a good connection is quicker than a home PC.
MyAlgoMate's Copy Trading Software costs from ₹400 a month per account (+ GST), or ₹500 month to month.
