About the product
What is Kasauti?
Kasauti is India's methodology-first stock screener for position traders. Instead of giving you raw indicators and asking you to build complex queries, Kasauti packages proven trading methodologies — Minervini, Darvas, Weinstein, Magee, Livermore — into one-click filters. You click a methodology, you see the stocks that pass it. No syntax, no debugging.
Who is Kasauti built for?
Position traders. If you hold stocks for weeks to months based on weekly charts and trend-following methodologies, Kasauti is built for you. Not for: intraday traders, F&O players, options scalpers, or buy-and-hold investors who don't look at charts. We do one thing well — we don't try to be everything.
What does "Kasauti" mean?
Kasauti (कसौटी) is a Hindi word for the
touchstone — a dark stone used by Indian goldsmiths to test the purity of gold. By extension, it means a "test of merit." Every stock that passes through Kasauti faces the touchstone. The methodology is the test. Read the full story on
our about page.
How is Kasauti different from other Indian screeners?
Three things:
1. Methodology-first. Named buttons for Minervini, Darvas, Weinstein, Magee, Livermore. Not custom queries.
2. Visual-first. 16, 24, or 32 candlestick charts in a grid. Scan visually, not row-by-row.
3. All-in-one. Screener + watchlist + portfolio + heatmap + AI methodology coach in one tool, one tab, one login.
Methodologies & filters
Which methodologies are built in?
Five trading systems, each as a one-click filter:
Minervini Trend Template — all 8 SEPA criteria
Darvas Box — breakout near 52W highs
Weinstein / Stage 2 — confirmed Stage 2 uptrends
Magee Breakout — classic resistance breakouts on volume
Livermore Momentum — RS 90+ leaders near highs
How are stages calculated?
Kasauti computes Weinstein's Stage 1, 2, 3, 4 classification daily for every NSE stock based on price position relative to the 50, 150, and 200-day moving averages, the slope of the 200 DMA over 63 trading days, and the alignment of moving averages. Stage 2 means a confirmed uptrend (the only stage to own stocks). Stage 4 means a confirmed downtrend (avoid).
What is RS Rating and how is it calculated?
RS Rating (1–99) is an IBD-style relative strength score that ranks every NSE stock against the full universe based on weighted 3-month, 6-month, 9-month, and 12-month price performance. A stock with RS 90 has outperformed 90% of all NSE stocks. RS 99 is the strongest. Livermore filter requires RS ≥ 90 — only the absolute leaders.
How often is the data updated?
Kasauti runs on end-of-day (EOD) data, refreshed daily after market close. Filters, stage classifications, RS ratings, and methodology screens reflect the latest EOD snapshot. We do not provide live or intraday data. Position traders work on weekly and daily charts — EOD is the right resolution.
Sanjaya AI
What is Sanjaya?
Sanjaya is Kasauti's AI methodology coach — named after the divine record-keeper from Hindu mythology. He's a trained guide who knows every methodology, every filter, and every concept in Kasauti. Ask him what VCP means, how Minervini differs from Weinstein, when to use the Darvas filter — he'll explain in plain English with a touch of Hindi flavour.
Will Sanjaya give me stock tips?
No, and that's by design. Sanjaya is a methodology educator, not a financial advisor. He won't tell you to buy or sell any stock. He won't give price targets. He won't predict timeframes. He explains concepts, not positions. Anything else would violate SEBI rules and be irresponsible. If you want tips, you're on the wrong platform.
How many Sanjaya questions can I ask?
Free tier: 20 questions per hour. That's deliberately generous — we want you to learn methodology, that's how the product converts. Pro: 50 questions per hour. Daily costs are capped on our end so the system never runs out.
Pricing & plans
What's the difference between Free and Pro?
Free: Nifty 50 stocks, 6 watchlist, 4 portfolio positions, 20 Sanjaya Q/hr.
Pro (₹299/mo): Full NSE (2,100+ stocks), unlimited watchlist and portfolio, 50 Sanjaya Q/hr, CSV export.
The methodology filters, charts, stage classification, and RS ratings work on both tiers — the difference is universe size and limits. Full breakdown on
pricing page.
Is there a free trial for Pro?
No trial. The Free tier IS the trial. Free Kasauti on Nifty 50 isn't a stripped-down demo — it's the real product. You can use it for months, learn the workflow, and only upgrade when you want the full NSE universe. We don't believe in "free trials" that capture your card and silently bill you.
What is the Founding Member plan?
₹2,449/year, locked for 3 years. Available until Diwali 2026. After that it disappears forever. Founding Members get the same Pro features plus a 3-year price guarantee, early access to new features (like pattern recognition in V2), and a direct email line to the founders. It exists to reward people who back us before we're proven.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, no questions asked. Monthly subscribers keep access until the end of the current billing month. Annual subscribers keep access until the end of the year they paid for. No cancellation fees, no retention call, no dark patterns.
What payment methods do you accept?
All payments through Razorpay — UPI, debit/credit cards, net banking, and digital wallets (PhonePe, Paytm, Google Pay, Amazon Pay). We don't store your card details — Razorpay handles all PCI compliance.
Account & technical
Do I need an account to use Kasauti?
Yes, you need a free account to use the product. Registration takes 30 seconds — just an email and password. No credit card. No phone verification. No KYC. This lets us save your watchlist and portfolio across devices.
Does Kasauti work on mobile?
The web app works on mobile browsers, but the chart-heavy views are best experienced on desktop or a large tablet. A native mobile app is on the roadmap for 2027.
Do you have an API?
Not publicly. The internal API is for the web app only. Bulk data extraction is prohibited under our Terms. If you're a brokerage or fintech wanting white-label or licensed access, write to
info@kasauti.in.
Will you ever sell my data or run ads?
Never. Read the
privacy policy — no third-party tracking, no ads, no data sales. We make money the old-fashioned way: you pay us for a product, we give you a product. That's the entire business model.
Where are your servers located?
Hetzner Cloud in Nuremberg, Germany. Yes, we know — German servers for an Indian product. The reasons are cost, reliability, and bandwidth. Hetzner is significantly cheaper than Indian cloud providers and has excellent uptime. The latency to Indian users is around 150ms — barely noticeable for a screening tool.
Something went wrong
A stock is missing from the screener — why?
A few possibilities: it might be newly listed (we need ~6 months of history for stage classification), it might have been delisted, or it might have a corporate action that's invalidated recent data. Email us with the ticker and we'll investigate.
Charts aren't loading. What do I do?
First try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac). If that doesn't work, try a different browser. If still broken, email us with your browser, OS, and a screenshot — we'll fix it fast.
My filter isn't returning any stocks. Is something broken?
Possibly — or your filter might just be too strict. Try the Minervini button: in a bear market, fewer than 20 stocks pass all 8 SEPA criteria; in a bull market, 50–80 pass. Zero results sometimes means the filter is working correctly and there are no stocks meeting the methodology right now. If you suspect a bug, email us.
