Rules we tested
At 09:16 sell the next-week NIFTY call and put priced ≤ ₹25, each with a 10-point stop; when one leg stops, the other leg's stop moves to its entry; exit 15:15, no re-entry. Gaps we filled: fill at the 09:18 open, gapped stops fill at the open.
Note: Very cost-sensitive because premiums are small; one gap day (7-Apr-2025) cost about ₹25k.
Method
1-minute data, next-minute fills, gapped stops filled at the open, real broker charges incl. STT and taxes plus 0.5% slippage.
- 1-minute historical NSE/BSE option and futures data; each video's rules coded exactly as taught, with stated assumptions where the video left a gap.
- Signals on a candle's close are filled at the next minute's open (unless the rules say otherwise); stops and targets are checked against each minute's high and low.
- Real broker charges, STT, exchange fees, stamp duty and GST deducted on every order; lot size as it was on each trade date.
- Results are per lot unless stated. No leverage, compounding or position sizing beyond the video's own rules.
