WhatsApp to ICICI Direct Copier 2026: Honest Guide, 2 Routes

TPcopier cannot copy calls from a WhatsApp group into your ICICI Direct account. The Indian copier, a Windows app that places orders through Breeze, ICICI's trading API, reads Telegram channels only, and our TradingView app reads webhook alerts. A Breeze order must go out from your own computer and the static IP ICICI has on file, so the signal needs an input that app understands.

Before 22 October 2026, a TPcopier relay passed WhatsApp messages to the app. It has been removed, and this page has been rewritten to match.

The rule that shapes everything

SEBI's retail algo framework, in force since 1 April 2026, allows API orders only from a static IP the client registered. A family may share one. ICICI Direct applies it like every other broker, so a cloud service cannot place your Breeze order.

TPcopier's cloud still copies WhatsApp groups, but to MT4/MT5 and binary brokers. For ICICI Direct, the order is built on your PC by the Indian TeleCopier or the Indian TvCopier, and neither has a WhatsApp login.

What does work for ICICI Direct

The Telegram twin of your WhatsApp group. Ask the provider whether they post the same calls on Telegram. If so, join with your own Telegram account and turn the channel on in the Indian TeleCopier. It reads as you, so no bot is involved. Step by step: Telegram to ICICI Direct. Product page: Indian TeleCopier.

TradingView alerts. For your own strategy, the Indian TvCopier receives JSON webhooks on your PC and orders through Breeze. No AI reads them, and plain-text alerts are refused with a reason. See TradingView to ICICI Direct and the Indian TvCopier page.

The Breeze session, every trading day

ICICI's account form asks for three values:

• App key and Secret key, both from your Breeze app registration. The secret never leaves your PC; the app signs each request with a SHA-256 checksum instead.
• Session token, which changes every trading day.

For the session token, log in on the Breeze login page. ICICI then puts an API_Session number, eight or nine digits long, in your browser's address bar. Paste it exactly as shown. The app swaps it once for the real session token and keeps that for the day.

Forget it, and the account answers that the session token has expired. If ICICI says it did not accept the API session number, log in again and copy the whole number. ICICI's Breeze API documentation covers registration and the static IP on its side.

Three ICICI quirks to know

As the Indian TeleCopier handles them:

1. BSE index options. It looks ICICI options up on NFO only, so a SENSEX or BANKEX call fails at ICICI, with the reason written down.
2. Odd share names. ICICI names some shares its own way, for example RELIANCE as RELIND. The app maps NSE names from ICICI's Security Master.
3. No stop-market. Breeze has no such order, so a stop goes as a stop-limit with the limit set by your protection band beyond the trigger.

One more: Breeze describes an option by its parts, stock code, strike, call or put and expiry, rather than by a trading symbol. When a call names no expiry, the app takes the nearest date from ICICI's option chain.

Start on Paper

Each new account starts on Paper trading. The app uses ICICI's live prices but fills the orders itself, so nothing reaches the exchange. Once the results match how you would have traded, set the account's mode to Real in Settings.

Limits, plainly:

• Futures are not supported yet.
• Index and stock options and NSE cash equity trade, with the BSE index caveat above.
• The window runs 09:15 to 15:15 unless you change it.
• Nothing trades with the PC off, and the app never judges a call.

The free demo comes with one broker account and a daily cap on new entries, while exits always go through. See the software page for prices.

FAQ

Can TPcopier copy WhatsApp signals to ICICI Direct?

No. TPcopier's Indian apps read Telegram channels and TradingView alerts only. Use the provider's Telegram channel, or your own TradingView alerts.

Do I need a new Breeze session every day?

Yes. Log in on the Breeze page before 09:15, paste the API_Session number and test the connection.

Will SENSEX option calls work at ICICI?

Not in the Indian TeleCopier. It looks ICICI options up on NFO only, so SENSEX and BANKEX calls fail with a written reason.

Can I try it without placing real orders?

Yes. New accounts start on Paper trading, with live prices and fills simulated in the app.

Why can't TPcopier's cloud do this?

ICICI Direct takes API orders only from your registered static IP, so the order has to leave your own PC or VPS.
