Paid for Algo Trading Signals That Never Came? How We Got a Full Refund

Harpreet joined an algo trading plan in mid 2025, paying in stages as he moved through starter and upgraded tiers of the service, totalling ₹70,000 over several months.

For the first stretch of the relationship, automated signals arrived as promised, timed to specific stocks and quantities, delivered through the app the firm had set him up with.

Then the signals slowed, then stopped. The most recent tier he had paid for, worth ₹23,600, was meant to run for a further defined period, but no further signals arrived at all during that paid window.

He messaged support repeatedly, asking whether the service had ended or paused. No explanation came. The account remained active on paper, but nothing was delivered through it during the period he had already paid for.

Rather than dispute the earlier tiers where signals had genuinely been delivered, the strongest and cleanest part of the claim was the final paid period where nothing arrived at all. That portion was ₹23,600, entirely undelivered.

How Our Team Built the Legal Strategy and Arguments?

We began by separating Harpreet’s payment history into periods where signals were actually delivered and the final period where they were not.

Step 1: Isolate the undelivered period

We identified the exact tier and payment of 23,600 that covered a period with zero recorded signal deliveries, keeping the claim narrow and provable.

Step 2: Compile the support message trail

We gathered every message Harpreet sent asking about the missing signals, along with the lack of any substantive response from the firm.

Step 3: Frame the claim around the clean gap

We argued the case around the undelivered portion specifically, since it required no dispute over whether earlier signals had performed well or poorly.

Step 4: File with the narrow, provable claim

Our complaint through the SEBI SCORES portal focused entirely on the 23,600 undelivered period, supported by the payment record and the unanswered support messages.

The firm attempted to argue that market conditions had reduced signal frequency during that period. We pointed out that zero signals over a full paid period is not reduced frequency; it is non-delivery.

Resolution & Recovery: How We Got the Refund of ₹23,600?

Facing a narrow, clearly documented gap with no signals delivered at all, the firm agreed to refund the undelivered portion in full. Harpreet recovered the complete 23,600, a 100 percent share of that specific claim.

Narrowing the claim to the cleanest undelivered period, rather than disputing the entire 70,000 relationship, made this one of the faster cases in this batch to settle.

Did Your Algo Service Stop Delivering Signals You Paid For?

If you were charged for an algo trading subscription or signal service that went silent, isolating the undelivered period is the fastest path to recovery.

Conclusion

Not every non delivery claim needs to cover an entire relationship. Sometimes the strongest case is the narrowest one.

If part of what you paid for arrived and part did not, isolating the undelivered portion can be a cleaner and faster path than disputing everything at once.

Where a firm offers a vague explanation instead of evidence of delivery, our team escalates through SMART ODR portal to keep the file moving.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Should I dispute my entire advisory relationship or just the undelivered part?

If part of the service was genuinely delivered, focusing on the specific undelivered period is often a cleaner and faster claim than disputing the whole relationship.

2. How do I prove signals or reports were not delivered during a specific period?

App logs, message history asking about missing service, and the absence of any delivery records during that window all support the claim.

3. What if the firm blames reduced service on market conditions?

Reduced frequency is different from zero delivery. A complete gap during a paid period is non-delivery regardless of the market explanation offered.

4. Why did this case recover 100% of its claim rather than a partial share?

Because the claim itself was narrowly defined to the undelivered portion only, rather than including any disputed trading losses from the earlier delivered period.
