Pi42 is a FIU-registered, INR-settled crypto futures exchange based in India. If you want your algo trading profits (and losses) in INR rather than USDT, Pi42 is the natural choice.

1. Generate the API key on Pi42

  1. Log in to pi42.com. Go to Profile → API Management → Create Key
  2. Name it 'AlgoPulse' so you can identify it later
  3. Permissions: enable Trading. Leave Withdrawals OFF.
  4. Copy the API Key and Secret immediately, the Secret is shown only once

2. Add it in AlgoPulse

  1. Brokers → Add Broker → Pi42
  2. Give it a nickname like 'pi42-inr'
  3. Paste API Key and Secret
  4. Connect

AlgoPulse fetches your INR margin balance to verify the connection. A successful connection shows a green Connected badge and your available INR.

Pi42-specific notes

  • Settlement currency is INR, AlgoPulse will show PnL in INR in deploy reports
  • Minimum lot sizes can differ from USD exchanges, the deploy dialog uses Pi42's live rules
  • 1% TDS is withheld automatically by Pi42 on profits (Indian tax compliance)
  • KYC is required before API trading is enabled

What strategies work best on Pi42?

Every published AlgoPulse strategy works on Pi42 wherever the pair is listed there. ETH Momentum Core and XRP Momentum Core are sensible starting choices, both are locked to a single coin by design, so there is one less decision to get wrong on your first deployment.
