StrikePoint
Quant software • Research • Own-capital trading

We research market edges, build the systems that trade them, and back them with our own capital.

StrikePoint Ventures is a data-led quantitative firm with years of experience in live markets. One team can look after every layer of your trading infrastructure, from research through data to execution.

  • NDA on every engagement
  • Code and IP handed over
  • Runs on your infrastructure
  • Your broker, your capital
How we work

One loop, three disciplines.

Research an edge, build the system that trades it, then run it on real capital.

Research

Strategies you can defend with statistics.

A strategy that should be doing more? We subject it to strict backtesting, statistical validation and careful edge research, then return a strategy you can back with statistics and fully own. Everything runs under NDA, and your strategy and IP remain yours.

Build

Software that trades. Terminals that show.

Bespoke software for financial markets: execution systems, backtesting engines, analytics terminals and market data infrastructure, shaped around your workflow and connected to your broker. Created by a team that runs its own automated capital on these same systems.

Trade

We trade our own money.

Tested proprietary strategies with an edge that has lasted for years. We trade our own capital using fully automated, risk managed systems that need very little human intervention. Real markets, not only backtests.

The market we build for

India trades more derivatives than almost anywhere. Most individuals still lose.

Volume is not an edge. The desks that last run on tested rules, automated execution and hard risk limits, and that is the discipline we build into every system.

Capabilities

What we build.

Eight building blocks. Take one, or let us run the whole stack from research to live execution.

All capabilities →

Backtesting engines

Event-driven backtests with realistic fills, slippage, costs and margin, built for options and expiry mechanics.

Execution systems

Signal handling, order routing for multi-leg option structures, position management and full audit trails.

Options analytics

Volatility surfaces, Greeks, IV percentile and the variance risk premium, on index and stock options.

Market data pipelines

Live and historical tick capture, quality checks, corporate action adjustments and clean research APIs.

Risk controls

Pre-trade checks, position and loss limits, and kill switches that act before a human has to.

Broker integrations

Adapters for Indian brokers such as Kite, Shoonya and XTS, global gateways and crypto exchanges.

Dashboards & terminals

Live P&L, exposure and positioning views, on your own servers or in the cloud.

Strategy audits

An independent review of an existing strategy or bot for overfitting, look-ahead bias and execution bugs.

Why us

Grounded in discipline and experience.

Four pillars that define our approach to quantitative software and market infrastructure.

Institutional-Level Expertise

Guided by quantitative market professionals with more than seven years of live trading experience.

Production-Ready Engineering

Constructed on ultra-low latency pipelines, clean architecture and dependable infrastructure.

Validation Backed by Data

We remove bias. Each strategy is thoroughly tested against extensive historical quantitative backtests.

End-to-end Infrastructure

One team handles research, software, market data and execution, so you never have to piece together five different vendors.

How an engagement works

From first call to live system.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    Thirty minutes, free. You tell us the market and the goal; we say plainly whether it can be done.

  2. 02

    Written proposal

    Fixed scope, milestones, timeline and cost in writing before any work starts. No open-ended billing.

  3. 03

    Build & validate

    Research, backtests and software delivered in stages. You see interim results, not a black box.

  4. 04

    Handover & support

    Code, documentation, tests and the backtest framework are yours, deployed on your infrastructure, with a support period.

Clients

Who we work with.

Our clients range from single traders to institutional desks. What they share is a preference for evidence over opinion.

01

Independent systematic traders

You have a manual strategy or an idea and want it validated and turned into disciplined, hands-off execution.

02

Prop desks & family offices

You need research capacity, execution, risk or data infrastructure without hiring a full quant and tech team.

03

Fintech & advisory firms

You want white-label research, analytics dashboards or backtesting to offer your own clients.

04

Research teams

You need clean, dependable market data pipelines your models can trust.

05

Strategy buyers & builders

You bought or built a strategy and want an independent, direct audit before more money goes in.

FAQ

Questions we are often asked.

Still unsure? Ask us directly →

Are you an investment adviser or portfolio manager?

No. StrikePoint Ventures is a technology and quantitative research firm. We build and validate software and research. We do not give investment advice, sell tips or signals, or manage client money.

Who owns the strategy and the code?

You do. Client work runs under NDA. When a project ends you receive the code, documentation, tests and backtest framework, and your strategy and IP remain yours.

Do you need access to my trading account or funds?

No. Systems we build are deployed on your own machines or servers and connect to your own broker account. Your funds and your execution stay under your control.

Which brokers and markets do you support?

Any venue with an API. That includes Indian brokers such as Kite, Shoonya and XTS, global gateways like Interactive Brokers, and crypto exchanges through Binance. Most of our own work is in Indian index options.

How does SEBI's retail algo framework affect a custom system?

Since SEBI's February 2025 circular, retail algorithmic orders go through your registered broker's API, from whitelisted static IPs, with algos identified to the exchange. We design deployments to fit your broker's process under that framework.

How long does a project take and what does it cost?

It depends on scope. After a free scoping call you get a written proposal with fixed scope, milestones, timeline and cost before any work begins.

Can you guarantee a strategy will make money?

No one honestly can. What we guarantee is a candid process: we test ideas against real costs and out-of-sample data, and we tell you when a strategy does not hold up.

What if my idea is not ready yet?

Come anyway. Many projects start as a rough idea or a manual routine. The scoping call is where we work out whether it is worth testing.
