💡 Described strategy
Analysed 07 Oct 2026, 06:33 AM 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: +0.41R expectancy across 11,194 trades
  • ✓ Convex payoff 3.5 — 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, 2022, 2026) — the edge is regime-dependent
  • ✕ Max drawdown -29% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

Verdict

Auto-backtested. AI-decoded: 3-minute candle breakout above/below 30-minute candle high/low with 1:2 risk-reward on NIFTY. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 11,194 trades, win 31%, payoff 3.50, expectancy +0.41R/trade (avg +2.15%/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.
