CORTEX/docs

Getting Started

From zero to autonomous trading in four steps.

01

Activate Your Tier

Choose a tier (Solo, Pro, Prime, or Cortex) and pay the one-time activation fee via Razorpay. This unlocks your Cortex account and sets your execution parameters — delay, capital limit, and per-leg cost.

02

Connect Zerodha

Link your Zerodha Kite Connect account. You'll need to create a free Kite Connect app and enter your API key and secret. Cortex uses YOUR API key to place orders — we never aggregate or hold capital. A guided walkthrough handles the entire setup.

03

Deploy Your VPS

One-click VPS provisioning. Your own isolated server is spun up running the Cortex engine. No shared infrastructure — your strategies, your machine. Deployment takes under 5 minutes.

04

Trade Autonomously

The Autonomous Strategy Engine (ASE) evolves, backtests, and promotes trading strategies. Four AI personas — Scalper, Momentum, Swing, and Maverick — execute trades on your Zerodha account. Monitor everything from your Cortex dashboard.

Important

You need an active Zerodha account with sufficient margin. Cortex places orders using your API key — order placement is free on Zerodha. The Kite Connect app creation is a one-time setup.
