AlgoTest traders nearly 5 times more successful than average traders
Delhi, September 19, 2024: As per a study by AlgoTest, an algorithmic options trading platform, an average 4.5 out of every 10 traders on the platform were profitable during the fiscal year 2023-24, compared to the industry average of about one in 10.
The preliminary data for the current fiscal year shows that 46.19% traders were profitable for Q1 of this fiscal year – April – June.
“This success can be attributed to our traders following a systematic process. It is important to backtest and forward-test your trading idea to have an edge in trading in any market,” said Raghav Malik, Founder, AlgoTest. “AlgoTest is committed to empowering retail traders by providing them with a systematic trading process that includes backtesting, forward testing, and only then trading in the live market. This disciplined approach has proven to significantly improve traders’ success rates.” He added.
AlgoTest has over 10,000 users of the platform of which option sellers constituted around 70 percent while the rest were option buyers. Option sellers are those that receive premium while option buyers pay premium for taking a position. The study also highlighted that most traders on AlgoTest are trading intra-day, which means they go home with zero overnight risk.
By far, the most popular strategy on the platform was the intra-day 920 straddle strategy and its variations. It is a delta neutral strategy that tries to capitalize on initial market volatility, but can change its view and follow the trend if the market makes a strong intra-day trend in either direction. A simple variation involves selling both a call option and a put option of the same strike price simultaneously at 9.20 am.
Overall among the 10,000 traders on AlgoTest, more than half are from Maharashtra, NCR region, Gujarat and Karnataka.
Operating on a credit-based pricing system, AlgoTest offers new users 25 free backtests per week and provides unlimited backtest plans at a fraction of the cost of competitors, making it highly accessible for retail traders.
Outlining his journey, Malik said, “When we started, we were only a backtesting platform. Now, the platform has evolved into a full-fledged systematic trading platform. We have backtesting, forward testing as well as live trading as part of the algo trading offerings.”
Along with algo trading, AlgoTest also provides backtesting and trading of manual strategies using their strategy builder and options simulator. It is compatible with most top brokers and one can complete their entire trade without having to leave the AlgoTest platform.

India Ranks 3rd in Global cross-border capital destinations for land/ development sites
Mumbai, 19 September 2024: New research from Colliers has found that the Asia Pacific region was home to four of the top ten global cross-border capital sources in the first half of 2024 – Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and China. When it came to global capital, targeting standing assets, Japan and China were in the top five destinations globally with Australia too representing the APAC region within the top ten list, according to Colliers’ Global Capital Flows Report | H1 2024.
India notably features prominently at the third place in the list of Global cross-border capital destinations for land/development sites in the report.
The office sector was the most sought after in terms of investment activity in APAC in the first half of 2024, followed by industrial sector. In India too, investments in industrial & warehousing and office assets remained strong in the first half of the year. Investments in Industrial assets especially, were 5X times, compared to same period last year. Amidst rising demand for superior quality Grade A assets and evolving supply-chain models, global investor confidence in the sector is improving significantly.
“Foreign investment in India’s industrial & warehousing sector has been gaining significant traction in recent times. In H1 2024, nearly 70% of the total foreign inflows in India’s real estate sector were directed towards industrial & warehousing assets. Investor affinity is being driven by rising demand from 3PL & E-commerce players and strengthening of manufacturing capabilities across key industrial corridors of the country. In fact, the growing appeal of India as a key destination for industrial investments reinforces long-term confidence in the sector,” said Piyush Gupta, Managing Director, Capital Markets & Investment Services at Colliers India
With USD 3.5 billion of inflows in H1 2024, institutional investor interest in Indian real estate has remained firm. While 70% of investments during H1 2024 were focused on ready assets, India’s fast-paced growth and infrastructure development will continue to offer numerous opportunities in developmental assets over the coming years.
“Backed by robust domestic demand, healthy GDP growth and likely easing of monetary policy in the next few quarters, investments in Indian real estate sector will remain steady. Evident from a 73% share during H1 2024, foreign inflows will continue to dominate institutional investments in the near-term. Although North America and EMEA will lead the foreign inflow of funds, we can witness increasing traction from investors in the wider APAC region,” said Vimal Nadar, Senior Director and Head of Research, Colliers India.
“APAC is a powerhouse of economic activity, offering diverse investment opportunities across traditional sectors such as residential, commercial and industrial & logistics as well as growing specialized sectors like data centers and cold storage. Improving fundamentals are set to create new investment opportunities in the months ahead, with global rate cuts signaling positivity for real estate markets.” said Chris Pilgrim, Colliers’ Managing Director of Global Capital Markets, Asia Pacific.
Urbanization Vs. Nature – Is a Symbiosis Possible
by Akash Pharande, Managing Director – Pharande Spaces
Before urbanization took off earnestly in India, humans and nature coexisted admirably. Unfortunately, rampant real estate development has steadily reduced Indians’ access to nature. From the increasing demand for integrated townships with abundant greenery, we can see that urban dwellers today are looking to reconnect with nature.
The Cost of Urbanization
Our cities’ development agendas have taken a huge toll. Parks and forested regions have been replaced with high-rise skyscrapers. It’s tempting to blame municipal authorities and real estate developers for this loss, but there is no denying that our cities, which have limited space, must adapt to the constantly rising demand for housing, office buildings and the other real estate manifestations of modern-day life.
Supply follows demand, and developers cater to an ever-increasing demand. But there is a price to pay for this demand-supply interplay – nature has been relegated to the sidelines and, in some cities, wiped out altogether. There is a common belief today that greenery has become a luxury that only the rich can afford.
Pune’s Development Trajectory
Let’s take Pune as an example. This city’s geographic limits were previously much narrower, and there was little motivation to expand them. Pune was the quintessential retirement city and was even called Pensioner’s Paradise. Another claim to fame was its educational institutions, earning it the additional tag of ‘Oxford of the East’. The city and its economic activity coexisted amicably with farming activities, even in the core areas.
Going back a little further, the British viewed Pune (then Poona) as a region of political turmoil and resistance to their rule. Pune did not begin to expand geographically or demographically till India gained independence in 1947.
Then the technological revolution in Pune started. It grew from a tiny city to a full-fledged metropolis because of its rapidly expanding employment opportunities, first in manufacturing, then in software technology and information technology-enabled services (ITeS), attracting a massive influx of people.
The city’s population began to rise significantly in the 1990s because of the country’s economic liberalization, which allowed for foreign investment and boosted industrial expansion. Pune’s salubrious climate, along with its robust education infrastructure, began to draw more and more skilled workforce. Infosys and Wipro established bases here, resulting in the creation of the Hinjewadi IT Park.
This resulted in a cascade effect, attracting other tech enterprises and MNCs. Its proximity to Mumbai, India’s financial capital, added to its appeal to firms looking to cut costs. Rapid urbanization resulted in massive infrastructure development, including upgraded road networks, residential complexes, and commercial malls.
As Pune evolved into an IT powerhouse, more and more real estate development was required to accommodate people and the businesses they work in. As of 2024, the estimated population of Pune is 4.44 million within the city limits and 7.35 million in the metropolitan area.
There was minimal impact on Pune’s once-famous natural wealth when it was still relatively small and unspoiled by the rampant urbanization we see today. It is painfully obvious how much of its originally bountiful supply of green open spaces has been depleted by low and high-rise housing constructions, landfills, commercial structures, and shopping malls.
A Steady Disconnect From Nature
This development approach creates a disconnect between city dwellers and the natural environment. The desire to restore a healthy environment and healthier cities is once again staging a resurgence, but most real estate development today revolves around amenities and facilities. The little vegetation available is mostly ornamental.
Our cities are increasingly turning gray rather than green. Any attempts to reconnect people with the environment must be cross-disciplinary and integrated.
A city needs structures, deforestation is inescapable, and buildings will last as long as humanity. But can we restore nature to our cities?
An attempt in Singapore to reintroduce a natural ecosystem into the urban fabric is yielding incredible benefits. What such a vision of urbanization in the future may accomplish is fascinating. Concrete CAN coexist with a large amount of greenery, and one should not rule out the other.
However, it requires an extremely progressive town-planning vision, strong political resolve, and unwavering backing from the city’s population.
To conclude
Let’s face it – most of the housing demand in India in recent years is mostly for concrete structures with modern amenities, with a little bit of token vegetation. However, we are seeing a resurgence in demand for nature-rich housing in our cities.
Today’s young homebuyers come from a place of increased environmental conscience, and also concerns about their own and their children’s health and wellness. The rise in demand for homes in integrated townships, which guarantee abundant green, open spaces which will not be violated by further development, is testimony to this fact.
It takes time for a city to lose its ‘green’ reputation; for Bangalore and Pune, it took decades. It will take a few more decades to restore it, but it is achievable if all parties, from town planners and municipal officials to real estate developers and buyers, agree it is worthwhile and must be done.

Two expressways leading the realty boom in NCR
NCR’s two urban expressways, namely Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and Dwarka Expressway, have been leading the realty boom in the region. The weighted average price of newly launched projects has risen by upto 165% along the two expressways between July 2021 and July 2024.
According to the NSE-listed real estate data analytics firm PropEquity, the weighted average price of newly launched projects along Dwarka Expressway rose to Rs 17,357 psf in July 2024 from Rs 8630 psf in July 2021, a rise of 101%. Similarly, the weighted average price of newly launched projects along Noida-Greater Noida expressway rose to Rs 17,428 psf in July 2024 from Rs 6568 psf in July 2021, a rise of 165%.
Among the many micro markets in Gurugram, Dwarka Expressway has seen a rise of 30% in the weighted average price of new launches between July 2023 and July 2024 alone. The supply has increased from 4329 to 5012 units during this period. This rise can be attributed to the inauguration of the expressway in March 2024.
Mr. Sanjoo, MD, 4S Developers said, “Dwarka Expressway has emerged as a prominent micro market in NCR. With its operationalisation, a major shift in population is being witnessed especially from the South-west part of Delhi owing to its new-age amenities and world-class infrastructure which includes connectivity to the International Airport, Delhi-Mumbai expressway and to the industrial and employment hubs in Gurugram. We look forward to this micro market for our future expansion in view of its excellent connectivity and liveability.”
Real estate brokers in south-west Delhi say that apartments in this part of the city have outlived their usefulness as today’s youth working in multi-national companies in Gurugram desire of a lifestyle that is free of chaos and daily hassles.
Vijay Harsh Jha, Founder and CEO of property brokerage firm VS Realtors, says, “The availability of open and green spaces, low-density living, safety, club with indoor games and swimming pool are among the amenities that today’s youth want, and these are important factors for rise in demand, price and habitation in Dwarka Expressway.”
The Noida and Dwarka Expressway was inaugurated and conceptualised respectively in the early 2000s. Both these expressways have made commuting from Delhi breezy. The world-class condominiums with new-age amenities, malls and offices, social infrastructure like schools and hospitals, connectivity etc. have added to the liveability quotient along these expressways.
Shiwang Suraj, Founder & Director of Gurugram-based property consulting firm InfraMantra said, “The Dwarka and Noida Expressways have become the lifeline for commuters. The sharp jump in realty prices point to the rising demand along these expressways. Owing to their strategic importance in terms of their access to the international airports, Delhi-Mumbai expressway and a comprehensive development of social infrastructure, residential projects here are undergoing premiumization. The elevated price points of new launches and their quick sale paint a very positive outlook for the real estate sector in NCR.”
Noida expressway provides easy connectivity to Agra, Lucknow and Eastern UP via Yamuna Expressway, Agra-Lucknow expressway and Purvanchal expressway. It also connects with Delhi-Mumbai expressway and to the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar.
Between 2020 and 2023, 10 million sqft office space has been leased out in Noida. Currently, the office rentals range between Rs 40-80 psft which in the near future will rise further. Share of leasing along the Noida expressway has increased.
