THREE WAYS TO START

From an idea to a result, without writing code

Describe it in plain words

Type the entry, strikes, stops and exits the way you'd explain them to a friend. The AI writes the strategy and reads every rule back for you to check before anything runs. A settings panel changes times, stops and lots without a new prompt.

"Sell the 0.2-delta strangle on the weekly expiry at 9:20"

Backtest a popular strategy

241 strategies traders often ask about: straddles and strangles, iron condors, Supertrend and ORB, expiry-day setups, OI, PCR and VIX signals. Each has its exact rules, a year of results and the risks, ready to run with your own settings.

Paste a YouTube video

The AI watches a strategy video in Hindi, Hinglish or English, up to 60 minutes, and writes the rules down. After the run, the creator's claims sit next to what the backtest measured.

Does a 25% leg stop beat a combined stop?

Run both versions and compare them side by side before you pick one.

Do brokerage, taxes and slippage eat my edge?

Switch costs on: the same trades after brokerage, dated statutory charges and the real bid/ask.

Costs

Does it work only on expiry days, or on trend days?

Every result splits the P&L by expiry day, India VIX, opening gap, trend and weekday.

Was it skill, or a few lucky days?

HONEST NUMBERS

Costs can turn a winner into a loser. See both.

Results open before costs. Switch on brokerage per order, statutory charges at each order's own date and rate, and slippage at the real recorded bid and ask, on the same trades.

The most popular of them, the time-based short straddle on NIFTY: 246 trades over a year.

Before costs+₹19,405
Brokerage and slippage−₹52,713
Statutory charges−₹8,490
After all costs−₹41,798

Same 246 trades all the way down. Brokerage at ₹20 per order plus GST, slippage at the recorded bid/ask, statutory charges at each order's own date and rate.

Where it made and lost money

Every result is split by market condition, so you can see what a strategy depends on. The same straddle made ₹1.17L on trend days and lost ₹97k on choppy days.

Questions traders ask

What is backtesting in options trading?+

Backtesting runs a strategy’s exact rules on past market data to see how it would have traded: when it entered, which strikes, when it exited and what it made or lost on each trade. It tells you how the rules behaved in that period - not what they will do next.

Is Quantsapp backtesting free?+

Backtesting is part of the Max plan. Pro+ members can use it now as a free trial. Running a backtest, changing a strategy’s settings and backtesting the popular strategies use no AI points; asking the AI assistant to write or change a strategy uses AI points from your wallet.

What data does it use?+

NSE data, second by second: the full option chain of every listed expiry with bid and ask, IV and Greeks, futures for every F&O symbol, and 20 built-in datasets in all - from OI changes and build-ups to India VIX, FII/DII flows and order flow. History starts in Sep 2021 for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY and FINNIFTY; 216 indices and F&O stocks in all.

Do I need to know coding?+

No. Describe the strategy in plain words - entry, strikes, stops, exits - and the AI writes it. It reads the rules back before anything runs, so you can check them, and the settings panel lets you change times, stops or lots without asking again. Python users can read the code it wrote.

Can I backtest a strategy from a YouTube video?+

Yes. Paste the link into the backtesting chat: the AI watches the video (Hindi, Hinglish or English, up to 60 minutes), writes the rules down marked as said, inferred or not said, and you fill the gaps. After the run, the creator’s claims sit next to the numbers the backtest measured.

Are brokerage, taxes and slippage included?+

You choose. Results open before costs; switch on brokerage per order, statutory charges at each order’s own date and rates (STT changed on 1 Apr 2026), and slippage at the real recorded bid and ask. Costs often decide whether an intraday option strategy makes money.

Can I trust a backtest result?+

Treat it as evidence, not a promise. Every result shows where the strategy made and lost money by market condition, how it does without its best 10% of trades, its worst days and drawdown - the checks that catch a strategy living off a few lucky days.

Is Quantsapp recommending these strategies?+

No. Quantsapp is not recommending any strategy; it is just a backtesting utility. Past results are not a promise of future returns.
