One-time — gone on refresh. Copy it and paste as a YouTube comment.
Why 3.5/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)
- ✓ A real but modest per-trade edge: +0.28R across 6,803 trades
- ✓ Convex payoff 3.3 — winners far bigger than losers
- ✕ Only 32% 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 -22% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

Verdict
Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: US ES (E-mini S&P 500) futures strategy using weighted average (WMA) 8/21 crossover on $2 range charts. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 6,803 trades, win 32%, payoff 3.27, expectancy +0.28R/trade (avg +1.48%/trade).
This is a real edge. The payoff is convex (winners run well past the average loser). Reasonably consistent (67% of years positive).
