No. Momentum IQ is designed for traders, not programmers. Pick a ready-made strategy or build your own entry and exit rules without writing code.

Yes. A free account gives you 2 free backtests every day, with no card required. Buy a one-time credit pack whenever you need more.

NSE stocks, NSE indices and NSE options, plus forex and other global price data for simulation. All backtests use historical data for education.

Momentum IQ is available in 7 Indian languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu. You can switch languages from the language selector in the top navigation at any time.

NSE Equity data goes back to 2000 for daily timeframes and to 2015 for intraday (1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour). F&O data starts from 2010. The exact start date varies by symbol.

Yes. All OHLCV data is adjusted for corporate actions including splits, bonuses, rights issues, and special dividends. This ensures your backtest reflects the actual economic returns a trader would have earned.

You can configure brokerage, STT, exchange fees, and slippage in your backtest settings. By default, we apply standard NSE charges so results are realistic. We strongly recommend including these — strategies that look profitable before costs often aren't after.

Most daily-timeframe backtests complete in 5–30 seconds. Intraday backtests over large date ranges (5+ years on 1-minute data) can take 1–3 minutes. The Run page shows live progress so you can see exactly what's happening.

Results include: Net P&L, CAGR, Win Rate, Profit Factor, Sharpe Ratio, Max Drawdown, Number of Trades, a trade log with entry and exit details, and an equity curve chart.

Yes. Options backtesting, including multi-leg strategies such as straddles, strangles and spreads, runs on historical NSE option prices.

Go to Strategies → New Strategy, define your indicators, entry/exit rules, and risk parameters, then click Save. Saved strategies appear in your Strategies list and can be re-run on any symbol or date range with one click from the New Backtest page.

We support EMA, SMA, WMA, DEMA, TEMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, ATR, Stochastic, Supertrend, VWAP, OBV, ROC, Keltner Channel, and Donchian Channel.

Each backtest runs on one symbol. To compare stocks, run the same strategy on each one. Every run counts as one backtest.

Yes. All strategies are completely private by default. Only you can see them. We do not share, publish, or use your strategies for any purpose other than running your backtests. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Momentum IQ is a research and educational platform, not a registered investment advisor or broker. We use publicly available historical market data for backtesting purposes. We do not provide live market data feeds or execute trades on your behalf.

Backtests are as accurate as the data and assumptions you configure. Common sources of inaccuracy include look-ahead bias (we prevent this), survivorship bias (we include delisted stocks), and ignoring liquidity constraints. Always paper trade a strategy before committing real capital.
