Patni Capital Algo

ABOUT

Built by
an engineer.

Run by rules.

Patni Capital Algo designs, tests and runs rule-based trading strategies for Indian index options. The firm is led by a software engineer who still writes much of its code himself.

The story

Patni Capital Algo started with a simple observation: most trading mistakes are not about information, they are about behaviour. Fear, hesitation and the urge to act on a headline pull people away from their own plan.

Our answer was to write the plan down as code. Since 2020 we have built algorithmic strategies for Indian index options in which every entry, exit and stop is decided before the market opens, and the computer simply follows the rules.

That work is now carried on by Patni Capital Pvt. Ltd., a company registered in Maharashtra and recognised as a startup by DPIIT. Our strategies are available on Tradetron, where they run in each user’s own broker account.

Software Engineer and Quant Trader

Akshay Patni is an engineer who became a trader. He spent around seven years building software at Accenture, Cognizant, LTI, Lionbridge and Germin8 before moving into algorithmic trading full time.

He has traded options for more than ten years. That combination of writing production software and living with the market every day shapes how Patni Capital Algo works: ideas are treated as code, tested before they go live and reviewed after.

He holds an MCA from MIT College of Engineering, Aurangabad, is NISM certified, and still writes much of the firm’s code himself.

What we value

  • VALUE 01

    Transparency

    We explain what a strategy does and what can go wrong. We make no performance claims, and we never ask for your money: funds stay in your own broker account.

  • VALUE 02

    Discipline

    Rules are written before the market opens and followed as written. Changes happen after review, never in the middle of a session.

  • VALUE 03

    Technology-first

    Strategies are built as software: version-controlled, tested on historical data and monitored while they run.

  • VALUE 04

    Client education

    We would rather you understand algorithmic trading than simply follow it. That is why we write plainly about how it works and where its limits are.
