Your capital works once.
We make it work twice.

By pledging it. When you pledge shares or ETFs with your broker, the broker releases trading margin against their value while you keep ownership, dividends and long-term capital-gains treatment. That released margin can fund a separate options strategy, so the same capital produces two returns instead of one. Nothing is sold and nothing is borrowed.

Pledged margin is collateral value your broker recognises against securities you already own. It is not borrowed money, so no interest is charged. Brokers apply a haircut, so ₹1 crore of holdings usually releases about ₹75 to 85 lakh of usable margin, depending on the instrument.

No. QuantNifty is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, Investment Adviser, Portfolio Manager or Broker. We are an algorithm development and consulting firm, so what we do is write and test trading software. We do not manage money, sell tips or signals, or give investment advice. For what registration actually attaches to, see SEBI algo trading rules.

The Sharpe ratio measures return per unit of risk. Roughly speaking, a bank deposit sits near 0.3, buy-and-hold NIFTY near 0.6, a good equity mutual fund near 1.0, and a strong hedge fund near 2.0. Anything above 3 is rare. QuantNifty's backtested algos sit between 4.86 and 6.96 over their stated windows.

DTE means days to expiry. A 0-DTE trade is opened and closed on the contract's expiry day, and 1 DTE is the session before it. Both are intraday, so nothing is carried overnight and there is no gap risk between sessions.

Backtested. Every figure is simulated on historical 1-minute data over the window stated on each algo, net of 0.2% slippage per fill, the cost of the protective hedge, and all statutory charges. A backtest is not a live track record. Live results will differ because of execution, liquidity, latency and changing market regimes.

Yes, but in the research, not in the trading. Millions of versions of a strategy are generated and tested automatically against years of real market data, then filtered down to the few that still work on data they have never seen. The algos that go live are fixed rules: every entry, stop and exit is written in plain code you can read, so no model decides on its own when money moves. We also build learning systems for clients, including models that predict a signal and systems that detect which market conditions you are in.

Test three million settings and one will look brilliant purely by chance, the same way someone in a big enough crowd flips ten heads in a row. So we check whether the winners on old data are still winners on data they have never seen. On our SENSEX search across 3.2 million versions, they were not: finishing first on the old data told us nothing about what happened next. So the basket was not picked by taking the best score. It was picked from the setups that kept appearing across thousands of good results, because a pattern that repeats is much harder to fake than one lucky number. Every test also charges realistic slippage on both sides of a trade plus full statutory costs, so nothing looks good only because the costs were left out.

Turning a trading idea into production software: entry and exit logic, stop-losses, re-entry rules, position sizing, and honest backtesting with slippage, statutory charges and real expiry calendars. Where it is needed, live execution as well, which means broker-side stop-losses, fill confirmation, order repricing, spike-trigger detection and a kill switch.

The figures on this page use ₹1 crore of deployed margin because it makes the arithmetic readable. The strategies themselves are sized in lots, so they scale down. A single NIFTY sleeve needs roughly ₹1.6 lakh of hedged margin. What matters more than size is that the drawdown is set to something you can actually sit through.

Indian index derivatives: NIFTY 50 options on the NSE and SENSEX options on the BSE, traded intraday on 0 and 1 DTE contracts with a protective hedge on every position. We do not publish the entry and exit logic of our own systems. On client work the rules come from you and stay yours.
