★★★½☆ 3.5 / 5

Why 3.5/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)

  • A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.22R across 8,754 trades
  • Convex payoff 3.4 — winners far bigger than losers
  • Only 31% of trades win — the rare big winners must keep showing up
  • 3 of 9 tested years were negative (2018, 2025, 2026) — the edge is regime-dependent
  • Max drawdown -30% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

SMA/MA

Verdict

Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: Multiple moving averages (5/9/20 SMA) in uptrend with price touching and closing above the fast MA, forming a mean-reversion dip-buy within an MA uptrend. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 8,754 trades, win 31%, payoff 3.36, expectancy +0.22R/trade (avg +1.15%/trade).

This is a real edge. The payoff is convex (winners run well past the average loser). Reasonably consistent (67% of years positive).

Mechanically decoded from the transcript and scored from the metrics. Flagged for human review; a hand-vetted verdict can override it.
