Hi @Praveen_Kammari
Thank you for sharing your observations.
I would, however, like to clarify that describing Stratzy’s performance data as misleading is not accurate.
The historical performance displayed on Stratzy represents the Algo’s trade outcomes based on its predefined execution logic. It is intended to show how the strategy has historically performed and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every user will achieve identical LIVE results.
In LIVE markets, actual execution varies from user to user due to several factors, including slippage, brokerage, statutory charges, taxes, and prevailing market conditions. These factors are outside the Algo’s strategy logic and are clearly disclosed under the Risk Disclosures & Disclaimers available on every Algo page.
Slippage, in particular, is an inherent aspect of algorithmic trading and cannot be represented using a fixed percentage. It varies from trade to trade depending on the instrument being traded, available liquidity, volatility, and market conditions at the exact time an order is executed. There may be trades with negligible slippage, trades with favourable slippage, and trades with higher slippage during volatile market conditions. Similarly, brokerage and statutory charges differ across brokers, brokerage plans, turnover, and applicable taxes.
For this reason, assuming that a fixed percentage should be deducted from every historical trade would not make the displayed performance more accurate. In fact, it would replace one assumption with another, as execution costs are dynamic and differ across users and market conditions.
Regarding Algo trades, both Algos execute trades strictly according to their predefined strategy logic and entry criteria. The direction of a trade is determined entirely by the Algo’s logic under prevailing market conditions and should not be evaluated based on a short period of performance alone.
We encourage users to evaluate Algos over a sufficiently long horizon while considering practical aspects such as execution costs, market conditions, and risk metrics.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
