Algo trading and SEBI
Is algo trading legal in India?

Does QuantPower offer ready-made strategies?
Yes, as templates: straddles, iron flies and more load into the strategy builder, and you edit and run them as your own strategy on broker infrastructure or your own static IP setup, subject to the verified connection.
Do strategies run when my laptop is off?
Strategies run on broker infrastructure or the client’s own static IP setup, not Wisdom Tree Ventures servers. The required host and broker session must remain available; check your connection before relying on unattended operation.
Does an MTM stop loss guarantee my maximum loss?
No. It sends exit orders when your limit is hit, but a gap, thin liquidity or a rejected order can make the final loss larger. Read the risk disclosure

Testing
Can I test a strategy before trading real money?
Yes. Backtest it on historical data, then run it in paper trading on live prices. QuantPower backtest tutorial
Why do live results differ from my backtest?
Live trading pays real spreads, slippage and charges, and markets change. A strategy tuned too closely to past data often does worse live.
