💡 Described strategy
Analysed 22 Oct 2026, 04:10 PM IST
★★★★☆ 4.0 / 5

Why 4.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)

  • ✓ Strong per-trade edge: +0.32R expectancy across 4,155 trades
  • ✓ Convex payoff 3.7 — winners far bigger than losers
  • ✕ Only 30% 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

EMA

Verdict

Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: EMA crossover strategy on 1h timeframe with CCI as fast momentum signal, entry on upward cross, exit on downward cross. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 4,155 trades, win 30%, payoff 3.68, expectancy +0.32R/trade (avg +1.65%/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.
