Know your edge before you trade it
Every strategy looks good on a chart in hindsight. Backtesting software settles the argument: it runs your exact rules across years of real market data and tells you what would actually have happened — the wins, the losses, and the worst drawdown you would have had to sit through. On SutraLipi, the strategy you backtest is the same one you paper trade and take live, so there is no gap between what you tested and what you run.
Built for realistic, Indian-market backtests
The details that separate a trustworthy backtest from a misleading one.
Tick-level accuracy
Replays the market tick by tick, not just candle closes — essential for options and intraday, where the path within a bar decides the outcome.
Nifty, Bank Nifty & options
Backtest index, stock and multi-leg options strategies — straddles, strangles, iron condors — on F&O history.
The metrics that matter
Win rate, max drawdown, profit factor and a full trade-by-trade log — the numbers that tell you if the edge is real.
Backtest-to-live parity
The same script flows from backtest to paper to live, unchanged — your results actually predict live behaviour.
No coding
Build strategies visually or in the concise SutraLipi language. No Python, no data plumbing.

Backtesting software FAQ
Common questions before you start.
What is backtesting software?
Backtesting software runs your trading strategy against historical market data to show how it would have performed — win rate, drawdown and net result — before you risk real money. Read our full guide on how to backtest a trading strategy.
Can I backtest options strategies on Nifty and Bank Nifty?
Yes. SutraLipi backtests options and algo strategies on tick-level historical data for Nifty, Bank Nifty and F&O, including multi-leg option strategies like straddles and iron condors. Build them in the options strategy builder.
Why does tick-level backtesting matter?
Options and intraday strategies are path-dependent — price, time decay and volatility all move within a candle. Tick-level testing replays those moves, so results are far more realistic than candle-close backtests.
Is the backtesting software free?
Yes. SutraLipi's free plan includes backtesting along with the strategy builder and paper trading, with no credit card required.
