The story behind the project, why it exists, and how you can help keep it running.
I first built ArthaPilot as a personal research tool to backtest a blend of strategies with a tax aware engine.
Friends and family wanted to use it, so I began sending packaged versions of the code for them to run locally. This became a bit of a hassle, and so I decided to invest the time to make this a proper platform that people could use. It's built with a rigorous backtesting core, abstracted strategy primitives, and strong testing and validation.
This is an educational tool, not a trading platform. Nothing here is investment advice. The goal of me making this available is to enable people to have more clarity about portfolio construction, risk, and long-term compounding using real data and rigorous models.
I've been a programmer for 13+ years, and this is my passion project that I hope will help people. There's a lot of things I hope to build out for this tool.
Running ArthaPilot requires real resources: cloud infrastructure costs, compute for simulations and backtests (compute is expensive!), market data subscriptions, and the ongoing time required to design, maintain, and improve the system. I am transparent about this because I want users to understand exactly what they are supporting.
All revenue goes toward covering operational expenses and sustaining development. If it is useful to you, your support helps keep me focused on quality and value.
