The Quintal Mind Alternative to Stockmock
From backtesting the past to scanning live spreads right now — across indices and MCX commodities.
Stockmock made no-code options backtesting accessible, letting traders validate strategy ideas against historical data before risking capital. It is a strong research tool for the pre-trade phase.
Quintal Mind focuses on the live phase: butterfly, ratio and cross-spread values streamed across every strike in real time, plus full MCX commodity options coverage. Where Stockmock answers "would this have worked?", Quintal Mind answers "which spread is mispriced right now?"
