01 / STRATEGIES
Independent by design
Multiple strategies can run side by side, each specified before it becomes code and independently switchable.
Independent · Systematic · Built in-house
We build the systems that trade our capital.
Sattva Capital is a proprietary trading firm with an engineering mindset: we trade only our own capital, do our own research, write our own systems, and have been running them on a live book since inception.

EXCELLENCE IN ACTION
The principle
Every position is taken by a rule, not a reaction.
“Markets move faster than anyone can react. The judgement happens beforehand — written down, tested, and handed to a machine.”
We don't buy a strategy, connect an API and call it automation. We build the research, execution, risk and monitoring ourselves, and run them on our own money.
No outside money. No discretionary calls. No black box we don't understand. Our focus is on creating systems that can be tested, observed, audited and improved.

The platform
SITA.
Built to think in rules.
Sattva Intelligent Trading Algorithms is the technology behind our trading. One integrated system carries the process from market data and research through risk checks, execution and reconciliation.
Designed, written and operated by Sattva, SITA is built to keep strategy logic and operational controls connected.

Sattva Intelligent Trading Algorithms
From the first tick to the final reconciliation, the workflow is designed to keep decisions explainable and activity accountable.
What we build
One system. Multiple layers of discipline.
Our capabilities are designed to work together—from finding and testing ideas to placing orders and verifying what happened.
02 / MARKET INTELLIGENCE
From indices to instruments
Screen markets, sectors and individual instruments to identify relative strength, fading momentum and emerging moves.
03 / RESEARCH
Test before deployment
Historical analysis and paper runs help challenge an idea before it is exposed to live capital.
04 / ARBITRAGE
Observe related prices
Monitor pricing relationships between related instruments and evaluate dislocations against defined rules.
05 / EXECUTION
A consistent order path
A common adapter layer helps keep strategy logic separate from broker-specific order interfaces.
06 / AUDIT & CONTROL
Accountability by default
Orders, parameter changes and human interventions are logged to support review, reconciliation and learning.
Inside the workflow
From market signal to verified record.
Risk controls surround the process. An order should not reach a broker without passing through the relevant checks.
Market data
Normalised feeds for supported instruments and markets.
Research
Rules tested against historical data and simulated runs.
Risk & control
Limits, market-hour gates, reject handling and stop controls.
Execution
Orders routed through the controlled broker interface.
Reconciliation
Fills and positions checked against broker records.
Our approach
What we actually believe.
Good automation is not simply fast. It is bounded, tested, observable and honest about failure.
01 — SAFETY BEFORE SPEED
Brakes before acceleration
Kill switches, order caps, market-hour gates and timeouts help prevent an automated process from running unchecked.
02 — EVIDENCE BEFORE CONVICTION
Prove it before it costs
Historical testing and paper runs are opportunities to challenge assumptions before live deployment.
03 — OWNERSHIP BEFORE DEPENDENCE
Own the whole stack
Understanding the data, engine, order path and records makes systems easier to inspect, improve and troubleshoot.
04 — TRANSPARENCY BEFORE APPEARANCE
Say what is actually true
A system should report problems clearly rather than conceal them behind an appearance of normal operation.
Contact
Good systems begin with good questions.
We are not raising capital and not taking clients. But we welcome thoughtful conversations with people working across trading systems, market structure, quantitative research and execution engineering.
