What the video claims
About ₹5.78 L on 1 lot from Feb-2019 to Sep-2026, 70%+ winning days, every year positive, 35-40% a year.
Our paraphrase. See the video for the full explanation.
How our test compares
Using their cost settings our total was ₹5.79 L vs their ₹5.78 L (within 0.3%), though yearly splits differ by ₹20-40k. Their own screen shows 2026 at about zero, so 'every year positive' does not hold, and 35-40% a year is not reachable on the roughly ₹3 L margin per lot.
Rules we tested
Every weekday at 09:18 sell the ATM (by spot) call and put of the nearest weekly expiry. Each leg has a 50% stop (other leg keeps running); whole position exits at +₹15,000 or −₹8,000, and once profit reaches ₹1,500 a lock at ₹0 trails up ₹500 for every further ₹500; exit 14:45. Gaps we filled: fill at the next minute's open; when spot is missing, ATM = strike where call and put prices are closest.
Note: Recent years (2023, 2024, 2026) were thin; years before 2019 used monthly options and lost money.
