Capital & structure
Firm capital is allocated to approved traders under agreed risk limits and a transparent economics framework set out in a written agreement.
Proprietary Trading & Analytics
Proprietary trading, run like an institution.
QuantAlpha trades Indian and global markets across asset classes from its own trading floor — backed by in-house technology, real-time risk control and a research-led approach.

01The firm
A trader's firm — capital, tools and control in one place
Trading should be a profession with infrastructure behind it — not a side bet from a personal account.The idea behind our trading floor
QuantAlpha is a proprietary trading and analytics firm. We trade our own capital across Indian and global markets and across asset classes, from a physical trading floor supported by our own technology stack.
We admit a small number of qualified traders to the floor after a rigorous assessment, give them the capital framework, terminal, analytics and risk oversight of an institutional desk, and hold everyone to the same rules.
- Own trading floor — a professional, distraction-free environment.
- Multi-asset, multi-market — Indian and global exposure under one roof.
- Risk first — limits are enforced by systems, not goodwill.
- Research led — analytics and tooling built in-house.
02What sits behind the floor
Three pillars of the desk
Every trader on the floor works inside the same framework.
PILLAR I
PILLAR II
Technology & analytics
A professional trading terminal, a market-intelligence system and a rigorous backtest engine, all developed in-house.
PILLAR III
Risk & oversight
A real-time risk management system monitors exposure and losses against limits, with a back office providing full reporting.
03Markets & asset classes
Multi-asset by design
Opportunities rarely sit in one market. The floor is built to trade across them with consistent risk standards.
IN-01
Indian equities
Cash and event-driven opportunities in liquid Indian stocks.
IN-02
Index & stock derivatives
Futures and options across indices and F&O stocks, managed on Greeks and exposure.
IN-03
Commodities
MCX-linked instruments with disciplined sizing and exposure control.
IN-04
Currency
Currency derivatives as a diversifier and a hedge.
GL-01
Global markets
Global indices and futures to follow the market as it moves around the clock.
MA-01
Multi-asset strategies
Strategies that combine instruments and markets with portfolio-level risk limits.
04Technology
Built in-house, used on the floor every day
We do not rent a retail screen. The floor runs on our own platform.
In use
Trading terminal & analytics desk
A multi-window terminal with scanners, position analytics, live news, AI insights, paper trading and a backtest lab — every figure shown net of costs.

- News tagged to open positions
In use
TIS — Trading Intelligence System
A market-intelligence layer that records the state of the market, finds comparable past situations and tracks regimes and events — decision support, never autopilot.

- Regime and event intelligence
05Inside the platform

06Why trade full-time here
Not alone in a demat account. Not on tips or a crash course.
Most aspiring full-time traders have a personal account, a few tips and a course certificate. That is not a profession. Here is the difference.
| On your own | On our floor | |
|---|---|---|
| Capital | Your personal savings, at full risk | Firm capital allocated under agreed limits |
| Risk control | Self-policed, usually after the damage | Real-time RMS with hard limits |
| Tools | A broker app and a charting tab | Professional terminal, analytics and backtest engine |
| Research | Tips, forums, a single course | Market-intelligence system and in-house research |
| Environment | Alone, at home | A trading floor of peers and mentors |
| Back office | Spreadsheets and contract notes | Structured reporting and statements |
| Accountability | None | Regular performance and process reviews |
