The rules, as taught

At 9:35 pick the call and the put whose premium is the lowest still ≥ ₹50; buy each when it rises 14% above its 9:35 price, stop 20%, trailing the stop 0.75% for every 1% gain, exit by 15:29. After a stop, one re-entry at ATM on a +160% move with a 30% stop. We assumed a 75-unit lot and stop-first when high and low hit in the same minute.

What the video claims, and what we found

Claim: About ₹1.05 lakh gross in 2024 and ₹38k in 2025 per lot (shown as 656% / 132% on a small margin base).

For 2024 we got ₹1.31 lakh gross vs their ₹1.05 lakh with matching drawdown (−₹18.8k vs −₹18.4k), and monthly shapes match closely; ours runs ~20% higher due to exit time and stop fill assumptions.
