Purpose-built screens
From screener to live bots
Human in the loop
AI will not do your trade. It helps.
Algod does the heavy lifting — the screening, the backtests, the tireless watching. It never takes the wheel. You build the strategy, you set the risk, and every live order waits for your call. The edge is automated; the decisions stay human.
What Algod does
- Scans the entire NSE universe for the setups you defined
- Backtests and paper-trades your ideas before real money
- Watches every tick and surfaces what actually matters
What stays yours
- You design the strategy and set the risk limits
- You approve going live — nothing trades without your say
- You hold the kill switch, always
Everything in one desktop
One app from idea to live order
Screen, build, backtest, and deploy bots — every tool you need to trade NSE, all running privately on your own machine.
No code
Visual rule builder
Compose entry and exit logic from operands, operators, and nested rule groups — no scripting. The same engine powers your screener, strategies, and live bots.
Screener
Scan the entire NSE universe against your rules and surface ranked hits in milliseconds.
Live charts
Multi-pane candles with Heikin Ashi, SMA, and RSI, drawn straight from your local candle cache.
Real fills
Backtest engine
Walk real historical candles with simulated fills. Get an equity curve, trade log, drawdown, win-rate, and Sharpe — streamed live as it runs.
Paper & live bots
Per-strategy state machines with trailing stoploss. Rehearse in paper, then flip one hard switch to go live.
Orders & positions
Every order and open position with live P&L, side-by-side paper and Kite, and one-tap force-exit.
Strategies
Bundle Universe, Entry, Exit, Risk, and Schedule into one saved strategy you can run on a watchlist, a screener, a tag, or all of NSE.
Market-aware scheduler
IST clock with an NSE holiday calendar auto-starts paper bots at 9:15 and flattens on schedule.
Why go systematic
The edge of trading by rules
Trading by hand is exhausting and inconsistent. A system does the same right thing every time — and frees you to think, not react.
Trade without the emotion
Your rules fire the same way in a calm tape and a crashing one. No fear, no FOMO, no revenge trades — just the plan you decided on, executed.
Proven before you risk a rupee
Backtest an idea on real history and rehearse it in paper before a single live order. You learn the odds before you play them.
Speed and consistency
A bot reacts in the same instant every time. It never fat-fingers a price, second-guesses a signal, or forgets its own exit.
Always watching the market
It tracks every name on your list for the whole session, so you never miss a setup because you blinked or stepped away.
Many strategies at once
Run several strategies across different stocks in parallel — coverage no one can hold in their head trading by hand.
Discipline on every order
Position sizing and hard limits are built into each trade, so one bad session stays a bad session — never a blown account.
Private by design
Everything runs on your computer
Algod does all the work on your own machine and reaches out to just one place — your broker — and only when you tell it to.
Your computeroffline-first
The Algod appWindows
Screener, charts, backtests, and bots — it all runs here.
Your strategies

Your trade history
stored on your device
Your Zerodha account is the only outside connection — for live prices and the orders you place. Nothing else leaves.
- 01
Runs on your computer
Algod installs and runs on your own Windows PC. There's no cloud service to sign up for and no account to create — you just open the app.
- 02
Does the work on your machine
Screening, charting, backtesting, and your bots all run locally. Your ideas and your edge never sit on someone else's server.
- 03
Talks only to your broker
The single connection Algod makes is to your own Zerodha account — to pull live prices and place the orders you approve. Nothing else goes out.
- 04
Your data stays yours
Strategies, watchlists, and trade history live on your device. Back them up, move them, or delete them whenever you like.
Safety by construction
Built to protect your capital
Every safeguard is enforced in the engine at the point of execution — not painted on in the interface where it can be bypassed.
Paper and live are a hard switch
The mode is enforced deep in the app, not just the interface. A paper bot simply cannot place a real order — the safeguard sits right where orders are sent.
Pre-trade risk guard
Every order is checked before it goes out. Anything that breaks your per-trade or total limits is rejected outright — never quietly resized.
One-touch kill switch
A single control stops every bot and flattens every position in seconds. It's tested in every release, because it has to work when it matters.
Degrades safely
If your broker connection drops or isn't set up yet, Algod still opens. Backtesting and paper trading keep working — you're never locked out of your own tools.
No cloud, no tracking
There is no Algod server watching over your shoulder. No analytics, no account, no phone-home. What happens on your desktop stays on your desktop.
