Why traders still reach for Python
Python bots (Zerodha Kite Connect, DhanHQ, etc.) offer maximum control but demand hosting, token refresh, order state machines, and ongoing maintenance. Most retail traders need repeatable rules and broker execution — not a second software job.
Path 1 — Template strategies (fastest)
Pick built-in strategy types (RSI, MACD, SuperTrend, MA cross), set parameters, backtest, deploy at small size. No code; best when your edge matches a standard indicator framework.
Path 2 — Dovee English rules on chart
Write rules like `when close crosses above ema(close, 21) then buy` with stops and targets in plain English. See Algocrab Dovee documentation for inputs, sessions, and risk lines.
This path replaces many Pine Script experiments for traders who want logic on Indian broker candles inside one platform.
Path 3 — External charts + Bridge
Keep TradingView or MT4 for research; fire webhooks to AlgoCrab Bridge for execution on Zerodha, Dhan, Angel One, and other supported brokers.
Choosing a path
All-in on Algocrab data → Dovee or templates. Research on TradingView → Bridge. Need full custom infra → Python remains valid but is not the only professional route.
