Built by a trader who lost ₹10 lakh learning.
I'm Gopal Sapara. I've been trading the Indian markets for 5 years.
In the first 4 months, I lost over ₹10 lakhs. I tried everything the mentors said — keep a journal, follow risk-reward discipline, paper-trade first, control your emotions. I changed mentors. I tried different setups. I kept losing.
Eventually I built my own strategy. In one year, I made back every rupee I'd lost.
Then I thought: this should be automated. But every platform I tried either wanted me to write Python myself (not my cup of tea) or hid the strategy behind a black box. So I built algoshastra — for people like me who shouldn't have to lose ₹10 lakhs to learn what works.
If this saves one person from my first four months, it was worth building.
What this product is, in one sentence
algoshastra is a code generator for options strategies, built for Indian retail traders. Type your idea in English, the AI writes the Python, we backtest it on real NIFTY and SENSEX data with fees and slippage included, and you export the code to run on your own Dhan or Groww account. Your money never touches our servers.
What this product is not
- Not a broker. We never hold your money or execute trades.
- Not an advisor. We don't tell you what to trade. We help you test what you want to trade.
- Not a guaranteed-profit machine. Every strategy can lose. Backtests are past data, not future returns.
- Not an auto-trading service. Hosted live trading is on the roadmap — for now you deploy on your own broker.
