Your idea: When EMA 5 crosses EMA 11 and strike price is above VWAP

💡 Described strategy
Analysed 15 Oct 2026, 04:34 PM IST
★½☆☆☆ 1.5 / 5

Why 1.5/5? (stars grade the EDGE — per-trade expectancy, consistency, drawdown — not the headline return)

  • ✕ Roughly ZERO per-trade edge (+0.00R) — real costs eat whatever is there
  • ✕ Only 30% of trades win — the rare big winners must keep showing up
  • ✕ 6 of 9 tested years were negative (2018, 2019, 2022, 2024) — the edge is regime-dependent
  • ✕ Max drawdown -78% on the ₹2L portfolio — the compounded return came with deep pain along the way

Verdict

Auto-backtested. Detected: 5-EMA trend-following. Ran on 159 large/mid-caps, real costs. 38,199 trades, win 30%, payoff 2.36, expectancy +0.00R/trade (avg -0.21%/trade).

This is essentially breakeven. Regime-dependent — positive in only 33% of years.

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