Automated trading on US stocks and options, with 1,000+ rule-based strategies.
Large-cap US names and index options, run in the US session while you sleep, through Alpaca or Interactive Brokers. Nova is in live testing with small capital; we publish what we have and nothing more.
Algo trading involves risk. Backtested and past results do not guarantee future returns. Fintrens is not a SEBI-registered investment adviser.
Built so you can check every claim.
The strategy families and allocation logic that run Terra, on US large caps and SPY/QQQ options.
Commission-free execution on Alpaca; options and portfolio margin on IBKR. Both by API key, no custody.
Every account starts in paper mode against live data. You switch to live when you have watched it for a while.
Signals shows the US consensus daily. Live results will be published the same way once there is enough history to mean something.
Redundancy across venues: if one broker API is down, orders route to the other.
Early users keep their pricing when Nova is generally available.
From API key to first order.
Create an API key with trading permission only. Firefly never sees your password and cannot withdraw.
A short call fixes the capital allocated, the maximum drawdown you accept and which strategy families run.
Rules vote, capital moves to the ones working, orders go to your account with stops and exits attached.
Monthly statement with every trade; daily, the same verdicts are public on Signals so you can follow along.
What Firefly can and cannot do.
- Can place and cancel orders, read positions and margin.
- Cannot withdraw funds, change bank details, or see your login.
- Stops the moment you revoke the key at your broker.
- Reports every order in your broker’s own statements, not just ours.

Asked before signing up.
Early access
What does early access mean?
You run Nova in paper mode or with small live capital, see the strategy output daily, and give us feedback. There is no fee during early access.
Why no performance figures?
Because there is not enough live history yet. We will publish results the same way we publish backtests — trade by trade, with drawdowns — when there is.
Which brokers?
Alpaca and Interactive Brokers today. Both connect by API key without withdrawal rights.
Can Indian residents use Nova?
Yes, under the RBI Liberalised Remittance Scheme limits and with tax collected at source on remittances. Nothing here is an offer of foreign securities.
