Verdict
Real option-buying backtest. Decoded entry: a previous-day high/low break on NIFTY 10-min bars → buy the ATM weekly CE (long) / PE (short), stop 3% / target 60% of premium, square-off by 15:15. Priced on real 1-minute NIFTY option premiums (GFDL, 2015–2026 — every tick of theta, IV crush and gamma is inside these prices), real charges and spread. The video trades BANKNIFTY; NIFTY weeklies are the closest instrument we have real premiums for, so the same rules were run on NIFTY.
1,643 trades on ₹1L: net -57.2% over 12 years (-4.8%/yr, loses money), win 9%, payoff 9.34 (avg win ₹3,234 / avg loss ₹-346), max drawdown -113%, worst trade ₹-1,336. 2015: ₹-4,164. 2016: ₹+9,818. 2017: ₹-9,727. 2018: ₹+9,150. 2019: ₹-8,828. 2020: ₹+9,569. 2021: ₹-1,471. 2022: ₹-29,325. 2023: ₹-32,595. 2024: ₹-16,592. 2025: ₹+13,980. 2026: ₹+3,012.
Option buying is convex — low win-rates are normal; the question is whether winners outrun the premium bleed. Backtested on 12 years of minute-level premium data (2015–2026; monthly contracts before 2019 — weeklies didn't exist; constant 65-unit lot); entries tested intraday as taught. Flagged for human review.
