The Quintal Mind Alternative to Streak
For discretionary spread traders — live butterfly, ratio and cross-spread scanning, plus MCX commodity options.
Streak brought no-code algo trading to retail — create rule-based strategies, backtest them and deploy for automated execution without writing code. If automation is your goal, it is a capable platform.
Quintal Mind serves the discretionary spread trader instead. Rather than automating a fixed rule, it streams butterfly, ratio and cross-spread values across every strike so you can read relative value live and decide for yourself — across indices and MCX commodities.
