The problem

You're forced to build to the platform's limits.

Most algo tools only let you trade their built-in templates. The moment your idea steps outside, you're writing Python — or you simply can't build it.

Time-based strategies are overcrowded

Every platform gives you a dozen ways to run time-based option strategies (TBS) — and nothing beyond. So everyone trades the same playbook, and the edge is long gone.

Anything custom means code

Want an idea outside TBS? You're back to writing Python. Non-developers are locked out of building their own edge.

Bound by the platform's capabilities

You can only test what the tool supports. If it can't combine Time + Price + Indicators in one strategy, your idea simply can't be built.

Built for algo traders

Idea → backtest → forward-test → live — without writing a line of code.

Five core tools that turn a strategy idea into a backtested edge, prove it forward on live ticks, then fire it as a live broker order.

01 · No-code strategy builder

Compose multi-leg strategies visually.

Drag, drop, configure — no Python, no spreadsheets. A top-to-bottom 6-step wizard takes you from symbol to a strategy that's ready to deploy.

Visual 6-step wizard — symbol → instruments → conditions → legs → risk → execution
Per-leg SL / Target / Trailing with ladder rungs & on-hit actions
Templates — Iron Condor, Straddle, Strangle, Rolling ATM

02 · Backtest on real history

What you backtest is what you trade.

One config, one runtime — zero translation gap between simulation and live execution. Run on real 1-minute history and read the full equity curve, drawdown and stats.

Equity curve + drawdown · Net P&L, CAGR, win rate, best / worst / max-DD
Plain · With Costs · With Slippage — a three-way friction report

03 · Deploy live (or paper)

One-click deploy from the report to a broker.

What you backtest, you trade — on the same config. Deploy a saved strategy onto a broker with a size multiplier, or soak it on paper first with zero risk.

04 · Webhook / TradingView automation

Fire entries from any alert source.

Build entries from any combination of triggers — Time, Price, Indicators & Signals — chained with AND / OR. Or let a TradingView / Chartink webhook pull the trigger for you.

40+ indicators — EMA, RSI, MACD, BB, Supertrend, VWAP, ADX, ATR
Range-breakout, OI & Greeks as native conditions

05 · Portfolios & risk limits

Run non-correlated strategies under one portfolio.

Diversify by setup, timeframe or underlying — and manage risk at the portfolio level, not just per-strategy. Portfolio-level caps stop the whole container when the daily loss cap is hit.

Backtest → Live, on one engine

From a backtested edge to a live broker order — same config, no rewrite.

The Algo engine runs the strategy you backtested, on a broker you choose, with hard risk limits around it.

Backtest report

Read the edge before you risk a rupee.

Every backtest renders the entry / exit conditions, each leg, a full stat block and an equity-curve + drawdown chart — across Plain, With-Costs and With-Slippage views so you see the real, post-friction number.

Net P&L · CAGR · win rate · best / worst day · avg/day · max drawdown

Questions

Everything else you might ask.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Algo is a fully no-code, visual strategy builder. You compose multi-leg option strategies in a 6-step wizard — symbol, instruments, entry / exit conditions, legs, risk and execution — by dragging, dropping and configuring. No Python, no spreadsheets.

Can I backtest a strategy before I go live?

Yes — that's the whole point. Run any strategy on real 1-minute history (NIFTY / SENSEX) with a no-lookahead-bias engine, and read a full equity curve, drawdown and stat block (Net P&L, CAGR, win rate, best / worst day, max DD) across Plain, With-Costs and With-Slippage views. What you backtest is exactly what you trade — one config, one runtime — and you can deploy the same strategy to a live portfolio in one click.

Which brokers can I deploy to?

Live strategies route through the FNOTrader broker stack — 100+ brokers via Open XTS (Zerodha, Upstox, Angel, Fyers, Aliceblue, Dhan, 5paisa and more). Broker accounts connect once and are shared across Options, Trade & Algo. Don't see your broker? Send us a message — we'll add it.

Can I forward-test on paper first?

Yes. Every strategy can run on a paper broker for a risk-free soak before you commit real capital — same engine, same config, just no live orders. Validate on paper, then flip to a real broker account when you're ready.

Is it really free right now?

Yes. Algo & Backtest is in open beta — you can explore everything free while we're in beta. Paid plans (unlimited subscriptions + credit packs) kick in afterwards; create a free account and start building today.

Is there a free trial, and do I need a card?

You can explore the full app free during open beta — no credit card required. Just create an account and your first login drops you straight into the Strategy Builder.

Are backtested results a promise of live performance?

No — and this matters. Backtested performance is hypothetical, does not represent actual trading, and is not indicative of future results. FNOTrader is a technology product, not a SEBI-registered investment adviser or research analyst. The strategies, signals and reports here are decision-support data for informational and educational use only — not a recommendation to buy or sell. Past or backtested results carry no guarantee. Please consult a SEBI-registered adviser before acting, and trade at your own discretion.
