Why 3.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)
- ✓ A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.25R across 4,140 trades
- ✕ Only 36% 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 -26% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way
- ✕ Most of the big total return is compounding in a rising market (beta) — the per-trade edge above is what would survive a different regime
Verdict
Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: Hull Moving Average (Hulsut) trend-following strategy with higher timeframe confirmation and color-change entry signals on NIFTY 5-min intraday charts. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 4,140 trades, win 36%, payoff 2.53, expectancy +0.25R/trade (avg +1.42%/trade).
This is a real 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.
