Frequently asked questions

Yes, that is our strategy development service. Bring an idea, even a rough one, and we develop a strategy with you, testing versions on historical data until you are happy with it. Automating it afterwards is a separate service, if you want it.

An algo follows your rules exactly, on time, every day, without hesitation or second thoughts, and its rules can be tested on past data first. It does not make a strategy better, and it does not remove the risk of loss. The why algo trading page has more.

No. You bring a strategy or an idea, and you choose the final rules. We do not sell strategies, give tips or recommend trades.

Message us on WhatsApp with a few lines about your strategy or idea. Then share the details in a document, or walk us through them on a short Google Meet.

Not at all. Explain them on a call and we write them down for you. You then read and confirm the written version before anything is built. The strategy brief page lists what to think about.

No. Every client is set up by us, after we have discussed the strategy.

Anything that can be written down as clear rules: time-based entries and exits, level breakouts, straddles and strangles, hedged positions, indicator rules, re-entries and trailing stop-losses.

Never on our own. We build the rules you confirmed in writing. If we spot a gap or a risk, we ask you.

Yes. We can sign an NDA before you share it, it runs on a server of its own, and it is never shared, reused or traded by us.

Yes. Tell us that is what you want and we will discuss it.

Yes. They are two separate services, each with its own quote. You can take either one, or both one after the other.

The algo runs on live market prices but sends simulated orders, so you can watch it trade your rules with no money at risk before it goes live.

No. A backtest shows the past behaviour of a set of rules; it is not a promise of future results.

We already work with Fyers, Angel One and Nirmal Bang. Zerodha, Upstox and other brokers with a trading API are confirmed while we scope your strategy.

No. Your money and holdings stay in your broker account. The algo only places orders through your broker’s API.

No. Your algo runs on its own cloud server, set up for you.

Brokers only accept API orders from an IP address you have registered with them. Your server has a fixed IP for this, and we tell you how to register it.

It depends on how complex the strategy is, so we quote only once we understand it. You get a written quote with a tentative timeline before anything is built.

It depends on the strategy or idea. Your quote includes a tentative timeline.

Hosting and maintenance are part of your quote. Some brokers also charge for API access or market data; those charges are paid to your broker.

Yes. You can stop the algo or exit every open position at any time, from your desktop or your phone.

You can exit everything at once, and we are told about errors as they happen. Risk limits such as a daily loss limit are part of your rules.

No. Nobody can. Trading in derivatives involves risk of loss, and we do not give investment advice.
