How to Set Up Your Profile

Creating a professional seller profile is the first step to monetizing your trading edge on BacktestX. A verified profile builds trust with buyers and ensures seamless payouts.

Step 1: Public Vendor Profile

Your vendor profile is publicly visible to all BacktestX users. It represents your brand in the marketplace.

  • Brand Name: The name that will appear on all your listed indicators. Choose a professional, memorable name.
  • Brand Bio: A brief description of your trading philosophy, experience, and what buyers can expect from your tools.
  • Social Links: Connect your X (Twitter), YouTube, or Telegram so users can verify your authority in the trading space.
Pro Tip: Sellers with linked YouTube channels have a 45% higher conversion rate.

Step 2: Legal & Payout Verification

To receive payments, you must provide accurate legal information. This information is kept strictly confidential and is only used for compliance and tax purposes.

Requirement Details
Business Type Select whether you are an Individual/Freelancer or a registered Company.
PAN Number Required for TDS compliance. Ensure the name matches your bank account.
Bank Details Account Number and IFSC Code for monthly NEFT/IMPS payouts.

Step 3: SEBI Status (Optional)

If you are a SEBI Registered Research Analyst or Investment Advisor, you can submit your registration details to receive a Verified Badge on your indicators.

Non-registered creators are still fully allowed to publish indicators, but must adhere to the marketplace guidelines restricting the offering of direct financial advice.

Submission & Review

Once you submit your profile and upload your documents (PAN card, Cancelled Cheque/Bank Proof), our compliance team will review your application within 24-48 hours.

You will be notified via email once approved. After approval, the "Sell Indicator" dashboard will be unlocked!
