BC Capitals LLC — Wyoming, USA
Quantitative & Proprietary Equity Trading
We trade our own capital across U.S. equities and options, combining systematic screening with disciplined discretionary execution. No outside investors. No client assets under management — just our capital, our research, and our risk.
About us
BC Capitals LLC — short for Blank Check Capitals, the firm's original name before it was shortened for registration purposes — is a privately held proprietary trading firm trading U.S. equities and equity options through a mix of quantitative and discretionary strategies. We trade our own balance sheet — there is no outside capital, no advisory relationship, and no public offering.
Our work spans systematic market screening, quantitative signal research, options strategy design, and day-to-day discretionary execution. A dedicated trading-operations and research team, based in Chennai, India, supports the desk across the U.S. trading session — running screens, monitoring positions, and preparing analysis ahead of and during market hours.
The firm is founded and run by Saran Raj, a Chennai-based investor/trader active across U.S. and Indian equity markets.

Strategy & markets
A brief, non-exhaustive view of how the desk operates. We don't publish specific signals, models, or entry/exit rules.
Market coverage
U.S.-listed equities and options across large- and mid-cap names, with a working universe centered on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100.
Quantitative research & technology
Signal generation and backtesting sit at the core of the process, built on in-house Python tools for screening, pattern detection, and options analytics, with execution routed through Interactive Brokers and real-time alerting on flagged setups.
Trading style
A blend of systematic screening and discretionary judgment, expressed through short-duration trades and options income strategies — including the wheel, covered calls, and defined-risk spreads — under set risk limits per trade and per day.
Time horizon
Positions range from intraday and swing trades to longer-term equity holdings, sized and managed according to the thesis and time frame behind each one.
How we operate
The discipline behind the desk, in short.
Capital
Ours only — no outside investors, no client capital, no outside pressure on our decisions.
Position sizing
Capped per trade as a fixed share of capital, sized to the setup rather than conviction.
Loss limits
A preset daily drawdown limit ends trading for the day — no exceptions.
Trade review
Every position is logged and reviewed afterward, win or lose.
