Research, paper portfolios and the record behind them

I built this to put my investment process to a real test. Every decision is written down and timestamped before the market opens, each portfolio trades on paper at the next open with realistic Indian costs, and nothing is ever restated after the fact. Zen v1 has been live since 5 October 2026. The backtest behind it, its risk statistics and the full audit trail are all here, and the data archive and research code are on GitHub.

Live portfolios Paper portfolios run on fixed rules, each decision recorded before the open and filled at the next session.
