Backtest anything · options, futures, equities

Test any trading strategy.

Illustrative verdict from one real backtest — not a performance promise. Past results don't guarantee future returns.

Why honest

Every result is explainable. That's the whole point.

Tip-sellers show you screenshots. Fantasy backtests hide the costs. Shastra shows the working — every trade, every fee, every drawdown — so a verdict means something.

The old way
The Shastra way
Screenshots and a “track record” you can’t check
Every fill, fee and trade — fully auditable
Backtests with no brokerage, slippage or gaps
Brokerage, slippage & taxes modeled by default
One lucky year dressed up as “the edge”
Tested across 3 years and every market regime
A black-box score — take it or leave it
A verdict with the “why” attached, line by line

Shastra is a strategy verification tool — we never place trades, sell tips, or offer investment advice. Every result is historical and never a guarantee of future returns. F&O carries substantial risk.

They wanted proof, not tips.

I stopped paying for tip channels the day Shastra told me my "sure-shot" BANKNIFTY setup actually lost money after costs. It has saved me lakhs — and a lot of ego.

Finally a backtest that models brokerage and slippage. The verdict matches what I see in my live account.
