Claims it makes (quotes pulled from the transcript)
- “Skip the first 3 candles. When a 5-min candle closes above the previous day's high, wait for a red inside candle on lower volume, then enter on the break of that candle's high with a micro stop at its low. Mirror for shorts.”
Verdict
The 'high RR' micro-stop pitch sounds appealing and does create a convex tail (a +19R winner exists).
How we tested it
Mechanized on 48 Nifty-50 stocks, 5-min bars, 2 years, with slippage stress and real costs. Full period plus 2026.
But the micro stop is a trap: a 14.4% win rate — the inside-bar low gets shredded by noise — makes it deeply negative (−0.93R per trade, −₹3.3M over 15,000 trades), and 2026 loses too. Tight stops on a no-edge signal don't create 'high RR'; they create high frequency of small losses. Dead.
