Streak is a no-code algorithmic trading platform integrated with Zerodha that allows traders to build, backtest, and deploy rule-based strategies on equities and F&O contracts without writing a single line of code.

How to deploy a Streak strategy live

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Streak allows a backtested rule-based strategy to be promoted to live execution, routing orders directly into Zerodha Kite without manual intervention for each signal. This guide covers the steps from backtested strategy to live market deployment, including paper trading validation, margin checks, risk controls, and ongoing monitoring.

For the backtest workflow that precedes this step see How to backtest a strategy on Streak. For the platform overview see Streak platform overview.

Streak is a no-code algorithmic trading platform that integrates with Zerodha’s Kite Connect API to execute live trading strategies based on technical conditions defined in its visual strategy builder. Deploying a Streak strategy on Zerodha moves a strategy from paper simulation or backtest mode to live market execution, where the platform automatically places buy and sell orders in your Zerodha account when entry and exit conditions are met. This guide covers the deployment flow, the required Kite Connect authorisation, parameter configuration, and live monitoring.

How to paper-trade a Streak strategy

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Paper trading a Streak strategy runs the strategy’s entry and exit logic against live real-time market data, logging simulated orders at current market prices, without placing any actual orders in your Zerodha account. Paper trading bridges the gap between historical backtesting (which uses past data) and live trading (which uses real capital): it tests the strategy’s signal logic under live market conditions, including intraday price movements and volatility patterns that may not be captured in historical data, while eliminating the financial risk of live execution.
