Services / India algo engineering
Your strategy,automated compliantly
We turn your trading rules into a working algorithm for NSE and BSE options, futures and equities, and MCX commodities. It runs on your broker account, on your server, under your keys. You keep the strategy and the code. We do the engineering.
Who this is for
- Traders with a rule-based strategy who are tired of executing it by hand
- Option sellers who need adjustments, hedges and expiry-day logic done exactly right
- Small prop desks and family offices that want a reliable in-house system without hiring a team
What we build
- Options strategiesStraddles, strangles, spreads and iron condors, with adjustments, hedges and margin checks built in.
- Futures and equity systemsIntraday and positional, from your entry, exit and sizing rules.
- MCX commodity algosCrude, natural gas and metals, with each contract’s lot size, expiry and trading hours handled.
- Custom backtesting enginesFor when you want to test ideas yourself, on your own machine.
Compliant by default
SEBI’s framework for retail algo trading changed how algorithms reach the market. Every system we build follows it.
- Runs through your broker’s official API, never a screen-scraper or an unofficial workaround
- Set up for your broker’s static-IP whitelisting
- If your algo needs exchange registration through your broker, we prepare the technical documentation for you
- The strategy is yours and the algo is yours. We’re the engineering firm you hired, not a strategy vendor
We never see your keys
- Development and testing run on simulated execution against live market data
- Final setup happens on your server. You create the API keys and store them yourself
- At handover you rotate every credential, and our access ends
- Maintenance access is temporary, granted by you, and every session is logged
Your strategy is your edge. It stays on your machines and under NDA.
Honest backtests, no recommendations
You get the numbers, not our opinion of them.
- Real costs: brokerage, STT, exchange charges, GST, stamp duty and slippage
- Walk-forward and out-of-sample results, plus a Monte Carlo range of drawdowns
- Results split by market regime: trending, sideways, high volatility, expiry days
- You choose which parameters to test, and you see every result, not just the best one
We don’t tell you whether to trade it. That decision stays with you.
Straight answers
Will you suggest a better strategy?
No. We build and test exactly what you specify, and the report shows the results without recommendations. Strategy decisions are yours.
Who owns the code?
You do: the full source code, the written specification and the test reports.
Which brokers do you support?
Zerodha Kite Connect today. If your broker offers an official API, we can usually connect to it, so ask on the call.
What happens if something breaks during market hours?
On the Care plan, market-day issues are handled first. Every system also has a kill switch you control.
Do you trade or manage money?
No. We don’t place trades, hold funds or take a share of profits. We write and maintain software.
ArthaQuant provides software development services only. We don’t provide investment advice, manage funds, place trades or sell trading strategies. Backtests are simulations on historical data and don’t predict future results. Trading carries a substantial risk of loss. All trading decisions are the client’s own.
