{"id":64897,"title":"AlgoTest - Algorithmic Trading Platform for India's Day Traders","tagline":"We bring cutting edge research and execution to India's day traders","body":"### **tl;dr:** On AlgoTest, you can test your trading strategies for free and deploy them to the live market, without writing any code 😎😎\n\nWe’re [Raghav](https://www.linkedin.com/in/raghav-malik-96a8932/) and [Rajat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaiswal-rajat/), founders at [AlgoTest](https://algotest.in)!\n\n### **The Problem**\n\nOver the last 5 years, the number of day traders in India has 💥**EXPLODED💥**. Last year, more options traded in India’s National Stock Exchange than in all US exchanges combined!\n\nBUT, the tools that these day traders use to trade are **nascent**, **inefficient**, and **costly**.\n\n### **How do we help?**\n\nWe’ve built similar tools for institutions like hedge funds and HFT firms before. Our tools are **10x more powerful**, and **cost a fraction** of what retailers currently pay.\n\nOur first tool, a free options backtester with a no-code interface, now comes with a Live Execution Engine.\n\nThis means that any strategy you test with our backtester can now be deployed to the live market at the click of a button!\n\n### **The ASK**\n\nIf you have a trading account in India, check us out on [algotest.in](http://algotest.in), or give us a shoutout on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/algotest_in).","slug":"Gsj-algotest-algorithmic-trading-platform-for-india-s-day-traders","created_at":"2022-07-26T15:00:54.937Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T07:18:48.551Z","total_vote_count":208,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Gsj-algotest-algorithmic-trading-platform-for-india-s-day-traders","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":27191,"name":"AlgoTest","slug":"algotest","url":"https://algotest.in","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/ee27828a872551486a5a61cefdc3f0f73dca1b91.png","batch":"Summer 2022","industry":"Fintech","tags":["Fintech","No-code"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/27191"}}
