Neither column includes brokerage. The Standard plan is free during the Beta; see pricing for each plan's daily allowances.
Building strategies
QuantMan's builder centres on detailed position management. It offers more than 80 technical indicators and, on Premium, adjustment rules that act when the market moves, strike multipliers and calendar spreads across expiries. Backtests draw on more than six years of history, according to QuantMan.
QuantPower's strategy builder covers the legs, entries, exits and stops of an options strategy, without code. Signal trading adds orders from indicator alerts, such as TradingView alerts, and the MTM stop loss watches the combined profit or loss of every open position. If your strategy depends on adjustment rules, check how each rule can be set up in QuantPower before you move it.
How QuantPower places automated orders
QuantPower is trading software, not a broker or an adviser, and it gives no tips or calls. Each strategy is your own set of rules, and you can see all of them.
Orders go from your own broker account through the broker's official API, with your own API key, from a static IP registered with your broker. They start only after your daily broker login with two-factor authentication. Self-built strategies stay within SEBI's order-rate limit for them, fewer than 10 orders a second, and your funds and securities stay with your broker.
Moving a strategy from QuantMan
- Note the setup. Legs, strikes, entry and exit times, stop losses and any adjustment rules.
- Connect your broker with your own API key and a static IP registered with it.
- Rebuild the strategy in the strategy builder, and check how each adjustment rule carries over.
- Backtest it and compare the results with QuantMan's.
- Paper trade it for a few weeks on live prices.
- Stop the QuantMan deployment before going live on QuantPower, so the strategy does not trade twice.
