Year in Review – 2013

2013 was an eventful year for Investar Team and we are proud to have achieved several major milestones:

  1. 1-min real-time data for all NSE Stocks
  2. 1-min real-time data for all NSE Futures and Options
  3. A special edition for traders of Nifty 50 stocks, futures and options.
  4. A totally revamped Nifty Special Edition with support for 5-min and 1-min real-time data.

Ever since Investar was first commercially launched in 2008, the focus at Investarindia.com has been to provide a software with authentic data at a cost-effective price.

In Sept, 2010, we first launched 5-min real-time data for all NSE stocks, followed by 5-min real-time data for all NSE futures and options in 2012. Based on user feedback, we then launched 1-min real-time data for all NSE stocks in Aug 2013 followed soon after by 1-min real-time data for all NSE futures and options (including 1-min Nifty-50 and Nifty Special Editions) in Nov 2013.

With the Nov 2013 launch of 1-min real-time F&O data, Investar users now have a choice of opting for 1-min real-time data with 1-min real-time addons for both cash segment and F&O segment.

At Investar, our philosophy has always been to pay for what you use (as in evident in the configurable software we provide in terms of base editions and addons). With the launch of 1-min real-time data, our strategy was to provide an alternative to costly tick-by-tick data and based on the initial response to these new products, it appears that we have succeeded in this.

Not only that, Investar users have a choice to either get 5-min or 1-min real-time updates in the software, which no software vendor in India can boast of. If you are a short-term trader, 5-min data may be the right choice for you; and if you are an intraday trader and need more frequent updates, 1-min real-time data is the right choice for you (majority traders, excluding scalpers, do not trade on less than 1-min timeframes and hence we feel this is good enough for most Technical Analysts and Traders).

A Very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2014 to all our users!
