Frequently Asked Questions

StratVault is an open investment strategy platform for Indian stocks and mutual funds. Experts publish screening strategies as structured YAML rules, and anyone can run them against live NSE/BSE market data to evaluate individual tickers.

Each strategy defines a set of financial rules with metrics, conditions, thresholds, and importance weights. When you run a strategy against a stock ticker or mutual fund code, StratVault fetches live market data, evaluates each rule (pass or fail), and produces a weighted score with a verdict.

Yes, StratVault is completely free. You can browse all published strategies, run them against any NSE/BSE ticker, leave reviews, star your favourites, and publish your own strategies — all at zero cost.

StratVault fetches live market data from NSE and BSE through trusted financial data providers. Stock metrics are based on trailing 12-month data (PE, EPS, ROE) and current market data (price, market cap, beta). Mutual fund data includes NAV history and calculated returns.

For stocks: PE Ratio, Price-to-Book, Earnings Per Share, Return on Equity, Debt-to-Equity, Beta, 52-Week Range Position, Dividend Yield, Current Price, and Market Cap. For mutual funds: 1-Year, 3-Year, and 5-Year Returns, NAV Volatility, Consistency Score, and Current NAV.

Yes. StratVault supports both stock and mutual fund screening. Mutual fund strategies use metrics like annualised returns (1Y, 3Y, 5Y), NAV volatility, and a consistency score that measures how many time periods delivered positive returns.

Each rule in a strategy has an importance weight (1-5 points). When run against a ticker, each passing rule earns its full weight in points, and each failing rule earns zero. The final score is the percentage of earned points versus total possible points.

These are verdict labels based on the final score percentage. STRONG MATCH means the ticker scored 70% or above — it meets most criteria well. PARTIAL MATCH (40-69%) means it meets some criteria. WEAK MATCH (below 40%) means it fails most of the strategy's screening rules.

Yes. Any registered user can publish strategies on StratVault. You define your rules using a visual strategy builder or YAML format, choose metrics, set conditions and thresholds, assign importance weights, and publish it for the community to use and review.
