Connect Shark Exchange and run free algo strategies on USDT perpetuals.
Shark Exchange is a low-cost Indian derivatives venue trading USDT-margined perpetual futures. Its fee schedule is among the cheapest available to Indian traders, which matters more than it sounds: on a high-frequency strategy, fees are usually the difference between a profitable backtest and a losing live account.
Create a Shark Exchange API key with trading enabled and withdrawal off.
Whitelist the AlgoPulse server IP shown on the Brokers page — this is the single most common reason a connection fails.
Connect the key in AlgoPulse and confirm the balance loads.

No. Funds stay in your Shark Exchange account at all times. AlgoPulse holds a trade-only API key, which can open and close positions and nothing else.
