A session key is a temporary key that is only used once, during one stretch of time, for encrypting and decrypting data. This is similar to One Time Passwords (OTP) that have to be generated once in the morning to login, and help in encrypting a communication session for each app separately. This key or token expires in 24 hours after generation or at midnight.
Of late, a plethora of trading APIs that facilitate automated trading have popped up in Indian market. One of the main benefits of using a Trading API to formulate your trading strategies is that it provides a way to test your strategy on historical data. Historical data helps traders do a scenario analysis for their strategies and backtest them, which is one of the most important steps in creating an automated trading system. Backtesting gives the traders a chance to optimise their portfolio and also indicate how their strategy might perform in the future, assuming market conditions do not change a lot.
