★★★☆☆ 3.0 / 5

Why 3.0/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)

  • A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.13R across 11,888 trades
  • Convex payoff 5.0 — winners far bigger than losers
  • Only 22% 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 -53% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

Intraday EMA

Verdict

Auto-backtested. Detected: 50-EMA trend-following. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 11,888 trades, win 22%, payoff 5.01, expectancy +0.13R/trade (avg +0.57%/trade).

This is a marginal 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.
