In short
- Pro Chart is in the StockYatra app's side menu, free for every member.
- 41 prebuilt strategies in seven groups, each drawn on the chart with Buy and Sell arrows.
- A backtest card under the chart: return vs buy and hold, win rate, profit factor, drawdown, average trade and time in market, with 0.1% fees per side.
- Change settings with steppers, switch shorts on or off, and sort the list by what did best on this stock.
- A backtest describes the past. Use it to understand how rules behave, not as a signal.
Every trader has ideas: "buy when the fast average crosses the slow one", "sell when RSI is overbought". The honest question is how would that idea have actually behaved? Until now, answering it meant a desktop and a paid tool. Pro Chart answers it on your phone, on practice money.
How to use it
- Open the side menu and tap Pro Chart.
- Tap the symbol to choose any NEPSE, NSE or US stock, then a time frame: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H or 1D.
- On the Strategies tab, filter by group or sort by Best first to see which rules did best on this stock.
- Tap a strategy. Its indicators and arrows appear on the chart and the backtest card fills in.
- Adjust its settings with the − and + steppers, or switch on Allow shorts to let sell signals open short trades.

Reading the backtest card
| Number | What it tells you | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Net return | What the rule made on these bars after fees | One stock, one period: it may not repeat |
| vs buy and hold | Whether the rule beat simply holding | Beating a falling stock by losing less is still a loss |
| Win rate | Share of trades that made money | High win rates with tiny wins and big losses |
| Profit factor | Money won ÷ money lost | "99+" usually means very few trades |
| Max drawdown | Deepest fall from a high in the equity curve | Could you sit through that fall? |
| Average trade | Mean return per trade after fees | Small edges disappear with real costs |
| Time in market | How often a position was open | Less exposure can mean less risk |
Three traps to avoid
1. Tuning until it looks perfect
If you nudge the settings until the backtest shines, you have fitted the past, not found an edge. Try the same settings on three other stocks and another time frame. If it only works on one, it probably does not work.
2. Ignoring the number of trades
Fewer than about 30 trades is too small a sample to judge. Use a shorter time frame or a longer history to get more.
3. Forgetting costs
Pro Chart already charges 0.1% per side. Real brokers add their own part (commission, fees, slippage), which is usually higher for small orders. An average trade of +0.1% would not survive that.
Where to go next
Found a rule you like? Build your own version without code, or write it in Pine Script. Then practise it on the live practice market and check My Analysis after a week to see how you actually traded it.
Key takeaways
- 41 strategies, seven groups, all free in the app.
- The backtest includes fees and compares with buy and hold.
- Check the number of trades and the drawdown before the return.
- Test on several stocks before trusting a rule.
