Built in India · For Indian retail traders

We built the tool
we wished existed
when we traded.

Stolo started with a personal frustration: juggling five different platforms for a single trade, and still making decisions on incomplete data. Today, 58,000+ traders use it as their one platform for analysis, execution, and review.

The Origin
"I was switching between five different tabs mid-trade. By the time I had the full picture, the opportunity was gone."

Stolo started as a personal frustration. Like most retail options traders in India, founder Anurag Rath found himself stitching together a fragmented setup: one tool for OI data, another for strategy building, the broker app for execution, and a spreadsheet for post-trade review. Nothing talked to anything else, and every session felt chaotic.

The real problem was never the inconvenience of switching tabs. It was the data gap underneath it. Retail traders in India were making high-stakes decisions with delayed, scraped, or incomplete information, while institutions worked off direct exchange access and purpose-built analytics. That is not a slightly uneven playing field. It is a structurally broken one.

According to SEBI research, over 90% of retail F&O traders in India lose money. A study from MIT Sloan found that retail option holders lost an average of 5–14% around key market events, largely because of poor timing, a lack of real-time data, and no structured way to review past trades. None of that points to a lack of intelligence. It points to bad tooling.

Stolo grew out of that gap: NSE-authorised live data, one workflow that runs from the pre-market read to the post-session review, and a design built around what an Indian retail trader actually needs, rather than the institutional template most trading tools were copied from.

The Problem

Most retail traders are playing a rigged game without realising it

It is rigged by infrastructure, not intent. Institutions run on unified real-time analytics, fast execution, and structured review systems. Retail traders have been left juggling tabs and guesswork. Stolo changes that.

Before Stolo

The fragmented reality

  • OI data from scraped third-party sites, meaning a 10–30 minute lag during volatile sessions
  • Strategy building on paper or in separate tools, so the Greeks are wrong before the trade is even placed
  • Execution through the broker app, which means switching mid-trade and missing the move
  • No post-trade review system, so the same mistakes keep compounding month after month
  • No institutional flow visibility, leaving FII/DII data unavailable or a day behind
VS
With Stolo

The complete picture

  • NSE-authorised OI data, refreshed every 3 minutes, so you get the same source the market is pricing from
  • A multi-leg strategy builder with live payoff curves that shows max loss and breakeven before your first click
  • Broker-integrated execution on the same screen, with zero app-switching during a fast move
  • A trading journal and order analysis that close the learning loop every single session
  • FII/DII flow, sector heatmaps, and buildup signals, giving you institutional-grade intelligence as a retail trader
How We Build

What actually shapes every decision we make

Stolo is opinionated about this. Every feature, every data source, every design choice comes back to the principles below, not to what a competitor shipped last month or what would look good in a demo.

Speed over spectacle

The platform has to load fast and stay fast during the most volatile moments of the session, not just in a demo. We obsess over latency because slow data on an expiry day costs real money.

Clarity over complexity

Professional tools don't have to be intimidating. Stolo takes complex data, things like OI distribution, IV skew, and the Greeks, and presents it so the signal is readable at a glance, without burying it in jargon.

Authorised data, always

Every data point Stolo shows comes straight from NSE. Nothing here is scraped, estimated, or approximated. We are NSE-authorised, so the data you trade from is the data the exchange actually published.

Workflow, not features

We don't build features just to pad a comparison table. Every tool Stolo ships has a clear place in the Analyse → Execute → Improve workflow, and if it doesn't make your trading decisions better, it doesn't ship.

The Founder

Built by a trader, for traders

Stolo comes from someone who lived this problem firsthand, rather than a team that read about it in a research report.

Anurag Rath, Founder & CEO, Stolo

"With as much as 90% of retail traders losing money in Indian F&O, I kept asking myself: is this a talent problem or a tooling problem? Every piece of data I looked at pointed to tooling."

Anurag builds products and trades the market himself, and simplifying options trading for the Indian retail investor is what he actually cares about. After years of running into the same walls, fragmented tools, delayed data feeds, interfaces that felt like they were built for a different decade, he decided to build the platform he wished he'd had when he started out.

He works across both technology and trading, which is what shapes how Stolo gets built. He knows what it feels like to get an execution wrong on an expiry day, and he knows the frustration of getting an analysis call structurally right, only to find out the OI data behind it was 20 minutes stale.

Stolo is his answer to a gap that affects millions of Indian retail traders: there was no unified, real-time, well-designed platform covering the whole trading workflow, from the pre-market read to the post-session journal entry.

Ask in Telegram
What is Stolo and who is it built for?
Stolo is an Indian options trading intelligence platform built for NSE retail traders. It combines live OI data, 50+ analysis charts, a multi-leg strategy builder, a broker-integrated trading terminal, and a post-trade review system in one place. It suits scalpers, day traders, options sellers, and beginners who want to make decisions backed by real evidence rather than a hunch. Stolo itself is not a broker; it connects to your existing broker and adds the analytical layer that broker app does not give you.
Is my data and trading information safe on Stolo?
Yes. All user data is protected with industry-standard encryption and authentication. Stolo never holds or manages your funds; that stays entirely with your broker. When you connect your broker through OAuth, we do not store your broker credentials at all. What we get is a secure token that allows order placement on your behalf, the same way your bank uses OAuth for third-party apps. You can revoke that access any time from your broker settings.
What makes Stolo different from Sensibull, Opstra, or Quantsapp?
Most tools cover one part of the trading day. Sensibull is built around strategy visualisation, and Opstra and Quantsapp are centred on OI data. Stolo ties pre-trade analysis, strategy building, live execution, and post-trade review together in one workflow connected to your broker, covering the full session. The OI data comes straight from NSE, not scraped, and refreshes every 3 minutes, and the broker-integrated terminal means you are not switching apps mid-move.
Is Stolo's OI data sourced directly from NSE?
Yes, directly. Stolo is NSE-authorised, so open interest data comes straight from the exchange rather than being scraped from third-party sites or estimated from trade data. Scraped OI can run 10–30 minutes behind and carry errors during high-volatility sessions, which matters a lot when you are trading off it. Stolo refreshes OI every 3 minutes during market hours, so you are working from the same numbers the market is actually pricing against.
Can beginners use Stolo without prior options knowledge?
Yes. The Learn section walks through core concepts in plain, practical terms in both English and Hindi: what open interest actually means, how to read the PCR, when a straddle makes more sense than a strangle, and so on. The Guide section goes deeper on every platform feature. If you are new, it is worth spending time in the analysis tools and the strategy builder before you place a live order.
How does Stolo stay fast during high-volatility sessions?
A high-speed backend with real-time NSE feeds, an optimised order-routing system, and a lightweight interface built to stay responsive under market stress. Latency matters to us because a slow platform on an expiry day is not just annoying, it costs real money. We have specifically load-tested around index expiry events, which is when things tend to break.
Can I do F&O trading via Stolo?
Yes, across the full NSE F&O universe: Nifty 50, BankNifty, FinNifty, Midcap Nifty, and 191 individual F&O stocks. The broker-integrated terminal handles order placement, stop-loss, targets, and auto-trail for both options and futures positions, and every analysis tool on the platform covers this same instrument set.
