Commodity Options Trading Bot
Automated options trading on Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and more on MCX, integrated with Zerodha.
An automated MCX commodity options trading bot for Gold, Silver and Crude Oil
The Commodity Options Trading Bot is algo trading software for MCX commodity options such as Gold, Silver and Crude Oil. It connects to your own Zerodha account through Kite Connect and places and tracks orders for you while the commodity market is open.
It is a one-time purchase delivered as a downloadable package with a setup guide. The broker layer is built so other brokers can be added later, and the package includes risk controls such as a daily loss limit, a square-off time and a kill switch.
The bot is written in Python and keeps your running costs low. It builds its own candles from the live price and generates signals itself, so you do not need a TradingView subscription. The only software costs you pay are Zerodha Kite Connect API access and, if you want it running through the long MCX session, a VPS.
Why traders choose the Commodity Options Trading Bot
Made for long MCX sessions
Commodity markets run late into the evening, long after most people want to be watching a screen. A bot that follows your rules does not get tired.
Rules, not emotions
Entries, exits, stop-losses and targets follow the same logic every time, which helps when Crude Oil moves fast.
Risk controls built in
A daily loss limit, a square-off time and a kill switch help you cap a bad session instead of finding out afterwards.
Gold, Silver and Crude Oil
Built for the most widely traded MCX options, in one package, on your own Zerodha commodity account.
Pay once, no subscription
A single payment gets you the package, free updates for version 1.x and email support for integration issues.
Low running cost
It generates signals itself, so there is no TradingView subscription to buy. Your only software costs are Zerodha Kite Connect API access and a VPS if you want it running all the time.
Fast Python execution
Built in Python, it builds candles from the live price and acts on them locally instead of waiting on a third-party charting service. Real-world speed still depends on your internet, your machine and Zerodha.
Test before you trade
It starts in paper mode and includes a backtest script, so you can check your settings on historical candles and then watch it on live data without placing real orders.
Built to grow with you
The broker layer is designed so other brokers can be added, so you are not locked in for good.
