From ₹1 Crore to ₹100 Crore: How Firefly Scales Institutional Algo Trading in India
Algorithmic trading in India is no longer limited to retail traders experimenting with small portfolios. Today, high-net-worth individuals (HNIs), family offices, and institutional investors demand platforms that can handle large capital bases without breaking compliance.
At Fintrens, our flagship trading bot Firefly has been tested and proven — whether you trade with ₹1 Crore or ₹100 Crore. The core promise remains the same: scalable execution, SEBI-compliance, and consistent performance.
🚀 Why Scaling Matters in Algo Trading
Most algo platforms perform decently with small sums like ₹10,00,000 or ₹50,00,000. But when portfolios grow into the crore range, challenges emerge:
- Liquidity Pressure → Larger trades can distort market depth if not managed properly.
- Execution Speed → Milliseconds matter when deploying big capital.
- Compliance Checks → SEBI’s July 2025 algo guidelines mandate OPS ≤10, vendor IDs, and static IPs.
- Risk Diversification → Capital allocation strategies change drastically from retail to institutional levels.
This is why scalability is not just a “nice to have” — it’s essential.

- Smooth risk management with hedged option strategies
