Why it matters
overview
Algoshastra is an AI-powered strategy verification tool developed by Algoshastra that enables Indian retail traders to backtest and validate trading strategies for options, futures, and equities on real Indian market data. It allows users to describe their trading ideas in plain English, which its AI then translates into Python code for backtesting.

use cases
Algoshastra is primarily designed for Indian retail traders seeking to validate their trading strategies with rigorous backtesting and transparent performance metrics before deploying real capital.
