Frequently asked questions
What is the Strategy Builder in Stolo?
It is a tool for building single-leg or multi-leg options strategies. You add legs across strikes and expiries, choose buy or sell for each, and Stolo draws the payoff chart, the net Greeks, the breakeven zone and the max profit and loss, so you can visualise and refine the structure before placing it.
Can I build a custom strategy or only templates?
Both. Start from a pre-built strategy such as a straddle, strangle, bull call spread or iron condor and adjust it, or build a completely custom structure leg by leg.
Does it show the payoff chart and Greeks live?
Yes. The payoff chart updates as you change legs, and the delta, gamma, theta and vega of the whole strategy are calculated in real time, along with the risk summary.
Can I place the trade from the Strategy Builder?
Yes, if you have a broker connected. You can place the legs and manage the position from the tool. Stolo routes the orders to your broker and does not auto-trade.
Can I save a strategy for later?
Yes. Save a built strategy and load it again from any instrument's page to keep iterating on it across sessions.
Who is the Strategy Builder for?
New traders learning how strategies work, experienced traders deploying complex spreads, and anyone who wants to visualise and refine a structure before committing capital.
How is this different from the Backtest tool?
The Strategy Builder is for building and placing a strategy now, with a payoff and Greeks view. The Backtest tool runs a defined rule set over historical NIFTY and BANKNIFTY data to measure how it would have performed. Use the builder to trade, the backtest to validate.
What plan do I need for the Strategy Builder?
It is available on the Trial and Pro plans. A broker connection is needed to place orders. The Trial plan starts at 499 rupees; see the subscription plans page.
