Frequently asked questions

An email address and at least one broker account. Sign up for the free tier, connect your broker with API credentials or OAuth, and you can start using the dashboard, option chain and screener immediately.

Connecting a broker takes a couple of minutes once you have API credentials. Getting a first backtested strategy running usually takes under an hour.

No. QuaTick is trading software. It does not hold client funds or securities, does not provide investment advice, and does not execute trades on its own account. All execution happens through the broker you connect.

The platform is a responsive web app and installs as a progressive web app on Android and iOS, so you can add it to your home screen and monitor positions from a phone.

The free tier connects one broker. Every paid plan allows unlimited broker connections, and positions from all of them are merged into a single dashboard and P&L figure.

Through the broker's official API. Where the broker supports OAuth, you authorise on the broker's own domain and QuaTick receives a scoped token. Where the broker uses API keys, you paste the key and secret once and they are stored encrypted.

No. QuaTick requests trading and read permissions only, and never funds-transfer or withdrawal rights. For crypto exchanges we explicitly recommend leaving withdrawal permission disabled on the API key.

Several Indian brokers, Zerodha included, issue day-scoped session tokens by regulation and require fresh two-factor authentication each trading day. QuaTick prompts you for a one-click reconnect instead of caching your credentials.

Indicator-driven entries and exits, breakout and mean-reversion rules, multi-leg option structures such as straddles, strangles and iron condors, grid strategies on crypto and derivatives, and time-based intraday systems with scheduled square-off.

Yes. Automated strategies execute server-side, so they keep running independently of your browser.

Per-strategy position sizing, stop-loss and target, trailing stops, maximum concurrent positions, daily loss caps and automatic square-off at a chosen time.

Yes. Run a strategy against live data without sending orders to your broker, and compare paper results against the backtest before going live.

Historical coverage depends on the instrument and the connected broker's data API. Liquid NSE symbols generally have multi-year candle history available for backtesting.

Candle-close backtesting assumes your order fills at the close of a bar, which flatters intraday strategies. Tick-level replay walks through individual price updates inside each bar, so stop-losses and targets trigger where they actually would have. It is included on Premium and above.

Net and gross P&L, win rate, average win and average loss, profit factor, maximum drawdown, the equity curve and a full trade-by-trade log you can export.

Yes. The chain shows delta, gamma, theta and vega alongside implied volatility, open interest and change in open interest, updating in real time.

Yes. Build the structure leg by leg, review the payoff diagram, breakevens, maximum profit and loss and combined Greeks, then submit all legs together as a basket.

Yes. The same chain, Greeks and payoff tooling works on Binance and Delta Exchange crypto options, not just NSE.

There is a permanently free tier. Pro is $49 per month, or $39 per month billed annually. Premium is $99 per month, or $79 per month billed annually. Enterprise is quoted per organisation.

Pro gives you unlimited broker connections, the single-entry strategy builder, 5 automated bots, the backtesting engine and the screener. Premium adds multi-entry strategies, grid trading bots, unlimited bots, tick-level backtesting, advanced screener alerts and unlimited API access.

Yes. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately and billing is prorated. There is no lock-in contract on the self-serve plans.

Pro includes a 14-day free trial with full feature access and no credit card required to start.

QTK credits meter platform actions such as order placement and automated runs. Every plan includes a monthly allowance — 500 QTK on Pro, 1,500 on Premium, 5,000 on Enterprise — and the free tier starts with 200 welcome credits.

Encrypted at rest and never sent to the browser. Order placement happens server-side, so the key material stays out of client code entirely.

Only through strategies and bots you have explicitly created and started. Nothing trades on its own, and you can stop any automation instantly.

Account details, the broker connections you create, your strategies and settings, and product analytics. The privacy policy sets out what is collected, why, and how long it is kept.

Yes. Request deletion from your account settings or by contacting support, and connected broker credentials are revoked and removed.
