How our test compares with the video
With their cost style we got the same 64% win rate, and 2025/2026 returns of about 33% and 9% on ~₹2 L vs their 33% and 8.5%; their 2023 could not be checked.
Worth knowing: Only about 2.4 years of data; 2026 ran at roughly half the 2025 pace; margin is an estimate.

At 09:18 sell the SENSEX weekly call and put priced nearest ₹110, each with a 35-point stop and one re-entry at the original entry price; exit 14:57. Gaps we filled: video frames were unreadable so rules come from the description, and our SENSEX option data starts May-2024.

- Results are per lot unless stated. No leverage, compounding or position sizing beyond the video's own rules.
