What's new
Since 13 November 2026, QuantDesk is officially listed in ChatGPT's Plugins directory. No MCP URL needed and no developer setting to switch on: search for QuantDesk, install it in one click, sign in, and start typing.
Inside ChatGPT, QuantDesk helps you with three things:
- Build strategies in plain English. You see a preview of every rule before anything is saved, and it is saved only when you ask.
- Backtest them on historical data: NSE and BSE index options, MCX commodity options and futures, NSE stocks, and US SPX and SPY options. You get the P&L curve, drawdown, win rate and every trade.
- Understand your own LiveDesk strategies, read-only: why a strategy did or didn't take a trade, plus your trades, daily reports and history. Nothing is changed.
Going live stays where it belongs: in your own LiveDesk, under your control. The ChatGPT plugin never places orders.
Build, backtest, go live: five steps
The first two steps happen once. After that, every new idea is just a message away.

Save to My Strategies3Build: describe it in plain English
Start your message with @QuantDesk and say what you want: the instrument, the entry and exit times, how strikes are picked and the stop-loss. QuantDesk turns it into clear rules and shows you a preview of every rule first. It may ask a few short questions, such as lots per leg or intraday versus overnight, each with a suggested answer.
Type: "@QuantDesk Build: sell the NIFTY ATM straddle at 09:20, 25% stop-loss on each leg, exit at 15:15". Check the preview, then say save it.
Will it change my existing strategies?
No. Saving from ChatGPT always adds a new strategy to My Strategies. It never overwrites one you already have.

Backtest on historical data Illustration
YouBacktest it on the last 6 monthsP&L curveDrawdownWin rateEvery trade4Backtest it on historical data
Ask "Backtest it on the last 6 months". QuantDesk runs it on historical data, usually within a few minutes, and brings back the P&L curve, drawdown, win rate and every trade. Then follow up as you like: change the stop-loss, compare two versions, or look at the worst days.
Ask: "Show me the exact rules you tested." Correct anything that is off, then run it again.
How recent is the data?
Market data in the plugin is historical, up to the previous trading day. A backtest shows how rules would have behaved in the past; it is not a promise about the future.

Your saved strategy is waiting in LiveDesk › My Strategies. Deploy it on Paper, watch it for a few sessions, and compare the results in Reports with your backtest. When you are ready, choose Live Auto on your connected broker. This step happens only in LiveDesk, under your control.
Open LiveDesk → My Strategies → your strategy → Deploy · Paper.
More about deploying
See Deploy on Paper, Live Auto or Live Offline for what each mode does and what you need before going live.
Safe by design
The QuantDesk plugin is built for research, not for trading. In ChatGPT it:
- never places, changes or cancels an order;
- never deploys, pauses or exits a live strategy;
- never moves money, and does not sell plans inside ChatGPT;
- always saves a new strategy and never overwrites one you have;
- works only on your own QuantDesk account, and your ChatGPT sign-in cannot reach LiveDesk's order controls.

Frequently asked questions
Does the ChatGPT plugin place trades?
No. The plugin never places, changes or cancels an order, and never moves money. You build and backtest in ChatGPT; going live always happens in your own LiveDesk, where you choose Paper or Live Auto yourself.
How do I find QuantDesk in ChatGPT?
No MCP URL needed. Open ChatGPT, go to Plugins, search for QuantDesk and click Install, or open the QuantDesk listing while you are signed in to ChatGPT. Then sign in with your QuantDesk account.
Do I need a QuantDesk account?
Yes. When you install the plugin you sign in with QuantDesk, and continuing with Google creates an account if you are new. Every tool works only on your own account.
What does it cost?
The plugin itself costs nothing extra. What you can run follows your QuantDesk plan: Backtest has a Free plan, paper trading on LiveDesk is free, and some markets, such as MCX and the US, need a Pro pass. Plans are managed in your account at kartapurakh.com, not inside ChatGPT. See Plans and pricing.
Which markets can I backtest?
NSE and BSE index options, MCX commodity options and futures, NSE stocks, and US SPX and SPY options, on historical data up to the previous trading day.
Will my existing strategies change?
No. Saving from ChatGPT always adds a new strategy to My Strategies, and your LiveDesk views in ChatGPT are read-only.
Does a good backtest mean the strategy will make money?
No. A backtest shows how rules would have behaved on past data. Real fills, costs and future markets differ. Please paper trade a strategy on LiveDesk before you risk money.
