What is Stretus?
Stretus turns a trading rule you can describe in a sentence into a strategy that runs on your own broker account, without you writing any code.
You type what you want. The AI builds it, shows it to you, and tests it on real historical market data with real costs applied. If you like the result, you run it, in a simulator first, then, if you choose, live through the broker you already use. Your money stays in your account the whole time.
The problem it solves
Most traders can state their edge in one sentence.
"Buy RELIANCE when RSI crosses above 55 and price is above the 20 EMA. Exit when RSI drops below 45. 1.2% stop."
That is a complete, testable, executable strategy. The idea was never the hard part.
The hard part has always been everything after it: writing the code, wiring the broker API, handling reconnections and rate limits, running it somewhere reliable, and debugging at 3 a.m. when a position will not close. That gap is why most systematic ideas never get traded, not because they were bad, but because the engineering cost was higher than the idea was worth.
Stretus closes that gap. The sentence above is a valid input.
What actually happens
Five stages, and you stay in control at every one:
| Stage | What happens | Who decides |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Design | You describe the rule. The AI asks what it still needs, then assembles a complete strategy, indicators, entry, exit, stop, target, sizing, trading window | You state the rule; you review the result |
| 2. Validate | The strategy runs over real historical data with brokerage, slippage and statutory charges applied. You get return, Sharpe, drawdown, win rate and a grade | You read it and decide whether it holds up |
| 3. Allocate | You give the strategy its own slice of capital. It cannot exceed that slice or reach into another strategy's | You choose the amount |
| 4. Execute | Paper, an internal simulator, nothing leaves the platform. Live, real orders to your own broker | You choose which, and when |
| 5. Monitor | P&L, open positions, trade history and risk state. Pause or stop any strategy at any time | You watch it |
Nothing progresses automatically from a backtest to a live trade. Every step is an action you take.
What you can do on Stretus
| Build with AI | Describe a strategy in plain language. It compiles your words into a formal strategy and refuses rather than guessing when your words are ambiguous |
| Backtest honestly | Real historical data, with brokerage, slippage, STT, stamp duty, exchange charges, SEBI turnover fee and GST applied. Not a frictionless simulation |
| Trade paper or live | Two isolated paths. Paper needs no broker at all |
| Enforce risk limits | Nine order gates evaluated on every order. Read that page, most of them are off until you turn them on |
| Discover setups | Six research screens that scan the market for defined technical conditions and publish the arithmetic behind every score |
| Publish or run community strategies | Share a strategy you built, or run one someone else published, on your own account, with your own capital |
What Stretus is not
Worth saying plainly, on the first page:
- Not a broker. Your broker executes; Stretus places orders through them.
- Not a custodian. Your money never leaves your broker or exchange account.
- Not an adviser. It will not tell you what to buy. Asking gets you a refusal, not a tip.
- Not a copy-trading service. Running a published strategy clones the rules into your account. Nobody's trades are mirrored into yours.
- Not a guarantee. Every strategy can lose money, and automation changes how fast you lose it, not whether you can.
The full list, item by item, with what the platform does instead: What Stretus is not.
Who it is for
| If you are | Stretus gives you |
|---|---|
| A discretionary trader with a repeatable rule | A way to run it systematically without learning to code |
| A systematic trader without an engineering team | Execution, risk gates and broker plumbing you did not have to build |
| Someone learning systematic trading | A backtester that charges real costs, and an AI that explains why each piece is there |
| A SEBI-registered Research Analyst | A path to publish equity strategies for others to run |

What it costs you to find out
Nothing, and no broker connection.
Sign in, build a strategy, backtest it, run it in paper. A broker or exchange connection is required only for live trading with real capital. You can go a long way before you need one.
