Every trading day, 2000 to 2025, one row a year, coloured by NIFTY 50: green closed up, red closed down; gold are the days the question found

Backtesting, democratised.

Testing a trading idea used to take code, years of clean data and a weekend you didn't have, so most ideas went untested. Almanac does it from one sentence, in about a minute, for anyone.

The old way

  1. Learn Python or Pine Script
  2. Find and clean years of prices
  3. Code the rule, then debug it
  4. Build the report yourself

With Almanac

"When India VIX jumps 10% in a day, does Bank Nifty bounce over the next week?"

Ask it the way you'd say it.

No code. No formulas. No spreadsheets. Almanac turns your words into a precise, testable rule, and when a word could mean two things, it asks. It never guesses.

Weather, price and volume patterns, festivals, the panchang, the calendar. Any index or stock, and any mix of them: a stock's volume against the index's week, VIX against Bank Nifty.

Buy NIFTY on every purnima close and sell 3 days later. Does it make money?

Which day counts as purnima?

  • The day the full moon tithi is current at sunrise
  • Any day the tithi touches
  • The date of the exact full moon

Look inside.
