Private beta · friends & family

Discipline,
not prediction.

An automated trading desk that runs on your own broker account — screening, sizing and exiting by rules that don't get bored, hopeful or afraid.

Strength through restraint

The arrangement, plainly

Your money never leaves your account. It stays in your own broker account throughout. We never hold funds and cannot withdraw from it.

We never see your password or 2FA. You connect through Shoonya's own login page — we only receive a token you can revoke at any time.

We take no share of your profits. A flat software fee. If you do well, all of it is yours — and the risk is yours too.


How it works

Four steps, and you control the one that matters.

I

Open your own account

You open a Shoonya broking account in your own name and fund it yourself. We're not a broker and never touch the money.

II

Connect it, safely

You authorise the desk on Shoonya's own login page. We store a revocable token — never your password, and by default never your 2FA seed.

III

Watch it in paper mode

Everyone starts on simulated trades against real market data. Watch as long as you like. Nothing real happens until you're satisfied.

IV

You arm it — or don't

Going live is a switch you flip, on your own dashboard. You set the capital, you can pause or stop it, and you can leave whenever you want.


What it actually does

Rules that don't waver

Every position carries a stop-loss set from the stock's own volatility, a target, and a time limit. Size is derived from the stop distance, so the rupee risk per trade stays constant whether the stock is calm or wild.

Concentration limits

Breakouts arrive in sector clusters, which is how three positions quietly become one bet. The desk caps how much of any one industry it will hold.

Idle cash needn't sit idle

Rather than leaving uninvested money doing nothing, the desk can park it in a liquid ETF, which typically tracks overnight money-market rates and can be sold on any trading day. It is not a bank deposit — see the risk note below.

It checks its own books

Every few minutes the desk reconciles its record against the broker's, and a second, independently written reader cross-checks both. Disagreements are surfaced, not quietly resolved.


What it costs

₹999 one-time setup
₹199 per month, software licence

No share of your profits. Not 10%, not any. If the desk makes you money it is entirely yours — and if it loses, that is yours too. We carry no liability for trading losses.

Cancel whenever you like. On the way out you take your full trade history with you, and you revoke our access from your own broker account.


What this is — and what it isn't

The uncomfortable parts, up front.

You can lose money, including all of it

Automated trading carries real risk. Stop-losses reduce the size of a bad trade; they do not prevent losses, and in a fast market an order can fill worse than intended. Past behaviour of any system says nothing reliable about its future.

The liquid ETF used for idle cash is not a bank deposit. It carries no deposit insurance, returns are not guaranteed, and its value can fall.

This is software, not advice. We are not investment advisers and we do not manage your portfolio. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

You supervise your own account. You are responsible for watching it, for the capital you allocate, and for the decision to go live.

It will sometimes be wrong, or unavailable. Software has bugs, brokers have outages, and sessions expire. When something breaks we tell you — on every channel you've given us — rather than hoping you don't notice.


Register interest

Have a look before you decide.

Places are limited and everyone starts in paper mode. Tell us a little and we'll walk you through a live dashboard and a real paper run — no commitment.


Who built this

The stork stands still, then strikes.

Dr Satinder Singh Malik — a former fighter pilot, and an adventurer who has stood on Kilimanjaro, Elbrus and Stok Kangri, walked the Kailash pilgrimage, and worked in Antarctica.

His mother called him Bagula Bhagat — a stork meditator — for the patience with which a stork stands motionless in the shallows, its whole being fixed on the aim. It stands still for a long time. Then it moves once, decisively.

That is not a metaphor chosen to sound good. It is what this software does. Most days it finds nothing worth taking and does nothing at all. When the screen and the rules agree, it acts — with the stop already decided before the position exists.

Being plain about what this record is

Flying and mountaineering teach preparation, checklists, and turning back when the conditions say so. They do not confer any ability to forecast markets, and nothing here should be read as claiming they do.

What they explain is why the software is built this way — rules over hunches, a stop before an entry, and a route down agreed in advance. That is the whole of the claim.

Apps

On the way.

The dashboard already works on a phone browser. Native apps are planned, not built — so they're listed here as intentions rather than downloads.

API

Your data, programmatically.

Every client gets a read-only API key alongside their dashboard. Pull your own positions, reports and P&L into a spreadsheet, a script, or whatever you already use.

Read-only, by construction. The key cannot place an order, move funds, or change a risk setting. There is no write endpoint to call — not a disabled one, an absent one.

Bearer authentication over HTTPS. Rate-limited per key. Available on request once your desk is live.

Media & creators

A separate thing we're building.

An API and toolkit for creators who explain markets and travel — turning structured data into short video, on a subscription.

This is unrelated to the trading desk and shares none of its data. It is listed here because it is being built alongside, not because it is part of what a trading client buys.

Early. If it sounds useful, register interest and say so.

What it will do

  • Data-to-video: charts, figures and captions rendered to a clip
  • Templates matched to a channel's own look
  • Scheduled generation from a data feed
  • An API so it drops into an existing pipeline

Subscription, priced when it exists. Nothing to buy today.


Worth your time

Learn the ideas, not the tips.

Material we've found genuinely useful. None of it is ours, none of it is a recommendation to buy any security, and none of these people know we exist.
