📉 The Guru Index

What ₹1,00,000 invested in every YouTube trading strategy we've backtested would be worth — 139 distinct strategies from 394 videos, real costs, updated nightly. Nobody else can compute this number.

Methodology: each strategy gets a notional ₹1L. On days it closes trades, its pot moves by the average return of that day's trades (all costs included). The Index is the average of all pots, base 100 on Jan 1 2026. Duplicate rule-sets are counted once.

Read it right: strategies spend most days in cash, so in a falling market the Index "outperforms" simply by not being invested — and lags badly in rallies. The Index measures what following the strategies actually does to your money; it is not a claim that gurus beat (or trail) the market.

🔴 The live (out-of-sample) index — only trades fired AFTER we published each verdict. Un-fakeable, grows nightly.
