QuantDesk is two products, one journey — backtest any options strategy by chatting with your AI, then deploy the winners live on your broker. Start free on both; pay only when you're serious.
1
Backtest with AI
Validate strategies on real option chains via Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or the web lab.

2
Deploy live on LiveDesk
Auto-execute on IIFL / Kotak with resting orders, SL protection & feed failover.
Two separate products — Backtest (pay-once, no broker needed) and LiveDesk (subscription, connects your IIFL / Kotak). Use either on its own, or both.
Backtest & Research
Chat-driven backtesting on real NSE/BSE/MCX option chains + NSE stock scanner, mutual-fund analytics and crypto. Free forever to learn; pay-once passes when you go deep.
Deploy NIFTY · BANKNIFTY · FINNIFTY · MIDCPNIFTY · SENSEX options and equity strategies that auto-execute on your broker (IIFL / Kotak) with server-side resting orders, stop-loss protection, XTS feed failover and Telegram alerts. Paper trading is always free.
MCX commodities are a separate plan. The India plan covers NFO / BFO index options and equity — CRUDEOIL, NATURALGAS, GOLD, SILVER & other MCX strategies need the MCX plan (or the India + MCX bundle).
🧪 Paper trading is free — run strategies on live prices with zero broker risk. A plan unlocks live broker execution.
1 slot = 1 live strategy (paused ones still count) · delete to free a slot · +18% GST added at checkout
🔒 Your funds stay in your own broker account. QuantDesk places orders via API — it never holds or moves your money.
Switching tiers? Your remaining days convert pro-rata — the desk shows the exact new expiry before you pay · renew manually — you're reminded before expiry · running live positions are never squared off by an expired plan · paper trading is free, with a per-plan deployment cap.
LiveDesk — MCX plan
Live MCX commodity strategies — CRUDEOIL, NATURALGAS, GOLD, SILVER, COPPER, ZINC and their minis — on your own IIFL / Kotak account. A separate plan with its own live & paper slots and its own expiry; bundle it with the India plan to save.
🧪 MCX paper trading is free (up to 1 paper MCX deployment) — a plan unlocks live MCX execution.
1 slot = 1 live MCX strategy (paused ones still count) · separate from your India plan · +18% GST added at checkout
🔒 Your funds stay in your own broker account. QuantDesk places orders via API — it never holds or moves your money.
Switching tiers (incl. the India part of a bundle)? Remaining days convert pro-rata — you see the exact new expiry before paying · the MCX plan and the India plan expire and renew independently — the desk reminds you about each one separately · running live positions are never squared off by an expired plan.
Both — Backtest + LiveDesk Combo
Research and execute on one plan — full Backtest Pro (AI + web lab, all markets, 5-year history) plus a LiveDesk live-trading tier. One payment unlocks both, at a bundle price.
★ Combo = Backtest Pro + your chosen LiveDesk tier, together — save with the bundle.
Each combo = Backtest Pro + that LiveDesk tier for the period · +18% GST at checkout
🔒 Your funds stay in your own broker account. QuantDesk places orders via API — it never holds or moves your money.
Backtest Pro + LiveDesk credited together for the same period · renew manually · running live positions are never squared off by an expired plan.
Billing FAQ
Pricing, answered plainly.
Is anything auto-renew?
No. Both products are pay-once. Backtest passes give you N days and stop. LiveDesk plans run for the period you buy and then lapse — you renew manually, and the desk reminds you before it ends. Nothing charges your card on its own.
What counts as one "live deployment"?
One live strategy deployed on your broker — including paused ones. Only deleting a strategy frees its slot; a paused strategy still holds it. Paper deployments don't count and are unlimited. So a 5-slot plan means up to 5 live strategies at once — if your plan ends or you downgrade below your deployed count, the extra strategies are blocked (nothing runs) until you upgrade or delete some.
What happens to my open positions when a plan expires?
Your open positions are never abandoned. The plan-limit check runs nightly at 23:55 IST — after the close, when nothing is open — so a lapsed or over-limit strategy is only blocked while flat. Blocked strategies place nothing the next day; renew and they unblock instantly.
Do I need a broker account?
For backtesting — no, never. For LiveDesk paper trading — no. For LiveDesk live execution you connect your own IIFL (Symphony) or Kotak Neo account; QuantDesk places orders on your behalf but never holds your funds.
Does my LiveDesk plan cover MCX?
No — MCX commodities have their own plan. The India plan covers NFO / BFO index options (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, FINNIFTY, MIDCPNIFTY, SENSEX) and equity strategies; the MCX plan covers CRUDEOIL, NATURALGAS, GOLD, SILVER, COPPER, ZINC and their minis. Each plan has its own live and paper slots, its own expiry and its own renewal reminders. Want both? The India + MCX bundle credits both plans in one payment at a discount.
Can I change LiveDesk tiers later?
Yes — anytime, up or down. Same tier: the new time stacks onto the days you have left. A different tier: the unused value of your current plan converts into days of the new tier (pro-rata at each tier's monthly price), then the new period is added — nothing is lost, and a downgrade gives you more days. The desk shows your exact new expiry before you pay. Coupons apply at checkout inside the desk.
How do payments & refunds work?
Payments are handled by Razorpay (cards, UPI, netbanking). GST is added at checkout. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for details, and contact us with your Razorpay Payment ID for any billing question.
