Crucible was architected by Priyankit Raj with a single mission: to eliminate the institutional divide in quantitative execution. For decades, multi-broker order routing, pre-trade risk checks, vectorized backtesting, and systematic capital sizing were restricted to specialized hedge funds and proprietary trading desks. Crucible delivers institutional execution infrastructure directly to retail traders, quantitative quants, and proprietary trading firms across US Equities & Options (NYSE/NASDAQ via Alpaca & Interactive Brokers) and Indian Equities & Derivatives (NSE/BSE via Dhan, Kotak Neo, Upstox & Zerodha).
Dual-Engine Architecture
Two Purpose-Built Systems, One Unified Platform
Crucible segregates automated code execution from quantitative financial reasoning to guarantee deterministic performance, cross-market compliance, and zero hallucinations.
Converts algorithmic prompts into production-grade Python AST code with strict parameter validation.
Multi-asset backtesting across 1-minute OHLCV data for US Equities, Macro ETFs & Options (NYSE/NASDAQ) and Indian Equities & Index Derivatives (NSE/BSE).
Direct low-latency API execution and deterministic Python export across Alpaca, Interactive Brokers (IBKR), DhanHQ, Kotak Neo, Fyers, Angel One, Upstox, and Zerodha Kite.
Global Market Horizon: Seamlessly execute across US Market Hours (09:30–16:00 EST) and Indian Market Hours (09:15–15:30 IST) with automated timezone synchronization.
Strict non-advisory boundaries: no stock tips, no discretionary buy/sell recommendations.
Privacy guarantee under DPDP Act 2023: zero model training on your proprietary prompts.
Core Architectural Principles
Pre-Trade Risk Collars
Pre-trade price band checks, fat-finger filters, and single-order caps executed client-side and gateway-side prior to broker transmission.
SEBI-Compliant Auditability
Static IP routing gateways, SHA-256 strategy hash audit trails, and automated Algo-ID tagging compliant with SEBI circulars.
Zero Custody (BYOK / BYOB)
Bring Your Own Key / Bring Your Own Broker. Crucible never touches, holds, or commingles trader capital. Credentials are encrypted in an AES-256-GCM hardware vault.
Sandboxed Code Synthesis
Python strategy code executes in an isolated ephemeral execution environment with blocked network access and strict execution timeouts.
