Why 3.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)
- ✓ A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.11R across 5,759 trades
- ✓ Convex payoff 6.5 — winners far bigger than losers
- ✕ Only 17% of trades win — the rare big winners must keep showing up
- ✕ 4 of 9 tested years were negative (2018, 2022, 2025, 2026) — the edge is regime-dependent
- ✕ Max drawdown -44% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

Verdict
Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: 200-day EMA trend-following strategy with trend-line breakout entries; live crypto trading example (Bitcoin/Ethereum) showing position management and trailing stops. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 5,759 trades, win 17%, payoff 6.48, expectancy +0.11R/trade (avg +0.44%/trade).
This is a marginal edge. The payoff is convex (winners run well past the average loser). Reasonably consistent (56% of years positive).
Mechanically decoded from the transcript and scored from the metrics. Flagged for human review; a hand-vetted verdict can override it.
