From historical evidence to daily operation.
Reproducible historical backtests
Test against exact-contract candles with saved configuration, historical lot sizes, exchange sessions, costs, and slippage. Keep the data and settings behind each result.
Prepared data & offline replay
Prepare reusable historical datasets, inspect their coverage, and replay them offline. Run bounded parallel research jobs without repeatedly downloading the same history.
Configurable strategy workspace
Manage independent coded strategy profiles, parameters, protection choices, and compatible schedules. Keep each execution tied to the settings saved at its start.
Paper & broker-backed Live
Use the same strategy, scheduling, risk, and position lifecycle across Paper and Live. Review account readiness and explicitly acknowledge a Live start.
Manual multi-leg baskets
Build calls-and-puts baskets from presets or individual legs. Preview contract quantities and risk, submit once, track fills, add or reduce legs, update risk, and close a position.
Schedules & exchange calendars
Set entry windows, cutoffs, square-off, engine hours, expiry rules, and capital allocation. Maintained calendars account for holidays and special sessions.
Market data & custom history
Use Dhan or ICICI Direct Breeze for market data and import your own historical index-options candles. Browse stored history, check missing coverage, and control broker fallback.
Position & portfolio monitoring
Follow open positions, actual legs, adjustments, order progress, equity, and net P&L. Streaming updates keep the dashboard current while backend monitoring continues independently.
Risk & recovery controls
Apply supported stops, targets, daily P&L limits, entry limits, margin checks, and emergency exits. Reconcile uncertain orders and saved positions before admitting further exposure.
Daily comparison & exports
Compare historical replay with corresponding Paper and Live activity using frozen deployment settings. Review trade and leg reports, costs, equity, and exclusions; export CSV, JSON, or XLSX.
Alerts, help & maintenance
Configure WhatsApp, Telegram, email, and separate Paper/Live order sounds. Use searchable illustrated help, responsive desktop/tablet/phone layouts, history maintenance, logs, and performance diagnostics.
Connections that fit your setup
Choose data and execution separately.
Market data
Dhan and ICICI Direct Breeze supply quotes, instrument catalogues, and historical candles. Data coverage and account permissions determine the research window.
Order execution
Connect Dhan or Kotak Neo for broker-backed Live workflows. Market-data selection is independent of the execution broker.
Your historical archive
Import Custom history with source records and retained revisions. Saved research preserves its data version; routine broker-cache cleanup protects Custom imports.
Research without losing the operating context
See the whole position, not just the headline.
Review entries, exits, each option leg, costs, adjustments, drawdown, and equity together. Missing data and excluded trades stay visible in the report.
Daily comparison separates Backtest, Paper, and Live results. Historical replay explains the configured model; the order and fill records show what occurred in execution.

Questions, answered
Know your workspace.
Does Options Lab trade stocks or futures?
No. Options Lab supports index options trading only, focused on NIFTY and SENSEX. Underlying spot, daily, and futures/OI history can supply research context without expanding the traded instrument scope.
Can I use a different data provider and execution broker?
Yes. Dhan and ICICI Direct Breeze provide market data, while Dhan and Kotak Neo provide the documented Live execution connections. Each selected connection needs its own setup and permissions.
Can I manage positions manually?
Yes. Create and manage multi-leg index-options baskets independently of a running strategy. Track order progress, adjust owned legs, change basket risk, reconcile uncertain submissions, and close positions.
Are the strategy profiles investment recommendations?
No. They are configurable software functionality. AlgoMars supplies software and engineering services; customers select configurations and retain responsibility for their trading decisions.
Where does Options Lab run?
On your own premises or a private server under your control. Options Lab runs independently of the upcoming Nexus platform. Server management and upgrades are provided on agreed terms.
