StratLab

Know the company. Test the idea.

A research and backtesting platform for investors and traders. Investors get a company in its own words: ten years of numbers, filings and red flags, and a report card on whether management delivered what it promised. Traders write a strategy in plain English and get it tested on years of real prices, after real costs, with a straight verdict on whether the edge is real.

Sample result, as shown on stratlab.studio
Company deep dive

Ten years of sales, margins, capex and free cash flow, with the business model read from the company's own filings and calls, each linked to its source.

Management report card

What management said it would deliver on past earnings calls, checked against what the results later showed: met, missed or not due yet.

Four honesty checks

Unseen data, nearby settings, bad-luck drawdown and enough trades. The return is shown alongside whether you should believe it.

Real trading costs

STT, stamp duty, GST, exchange fees, spread and slippage, applied per market, so thin edges do not survive on paper alone.

Options, paper traded live

Straddles, condors, spreads or any structure up to eight legs, filled at the real bid or ask on live NSE, BSE and MCX prices.

Ten markets

India, the US, the UK, Europe, Japan, crypto, forex and commodities, each with its own hours, currency, fees and taxes. Or upload your own CSV.

Indian Neobanking — Sector Map

A value-chain analysis of Indian neobanking (2018–2026): where a rupee stops between app, partner bank and lender.

Thesis: the app layer owns the least defensible box in the chain; partner banks keep the deposits, licence and customer of record. Anchor case — Slice's swing from a ₹216.7Cr FY25 loss to a ₹48.4Cr FY26 profit after its NBFC-to-SFB licence conversion.
