About CandleAI
Professional-grade algo trading, for every Indian trader
CandleAI is an AI-powered algorithmic trading platform for the Indian stock market. Traders describe a strategy in plain English; CandleAI builds it, backtests it on NSE historical data, paper trades it on live data and deploys it to brokers like Zerodha, Fyers and Dhan — without writing code.
Our mission is simple: allow anyone to create professional trading strategies using AI — without writing code.
For decades, systematic trading in India belonged to institutions: teams of quants, expensive data, co-located servers. Retail traders were left with tips, gut feel and spreadsheets. When Indian brokers opened official trading APIs, the execution barrier fell — but the tooling barrier remained. Building, testing and safely deploying an algorithmic strategy still demanded programming skills, server maintenance and statistical training most traders don't have time to acquire.
CandleAI closes that gap. Describe a strategy in plain English and our AI builds it. Test it on years of NSE history with real Indian costs. Stress-test it with Monte Carlo simulation. Rehearse it with live-data paper trading. Deploy it to Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Angel One, Upstox, Alice Blue or Shoonya with one click — and monitor everything from a single dashboard.
We are a team of quantitative analysts, engineers and full-time traders. We use CandleAI for our own trading, and every guide on our blog reflects how we actually build and validate strategies.
What we believe
Test first, trade second
Every workflow in CandleAI pushes you to validate — backtest, optimize, Monte Carlo, paper trade — before a single rupee is at risk. We would rather kill a bad strategy in simulation than watch it fail live.
Radical transparency
AI-generated strategies are never black boxes. Every rule, every cost assumption and every backtest trade is visible and auditable. If you can’t explain your strategy, you shouldn’t deploy it.
Built for India
NSE market hours, Indian transaction costs, SEBI’s retail algo framework, Indian brokers. We are not a global tool with an India skin — India is the product.
Risk before returns
Kill switches, position limits and auto square-off are core features, not add-ons. The first job of a trading platform is helping you survive.
