The rules, as taught

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.

What the video claims, and what we found

Claim: About +47% (2024), +33% (2025), +8.5% (2026) on capital, 64% win rate, max drawdown about 7.8%.

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.

Important

These are educational backtests of publicly taught rules, not investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Algrow is not registered with SEBI as an investment adviser or research analyst. Past results, real or simulated, do not predict future results; option trading can lose more than the premium or margin used.

Method: 1-minute historical exchange data; signals filled at the next minute's open unless the rules say otherwise; real broker charges, STT, exchange fees, stamp duty and GST; lot size as on each trade date. Where a video leaves a rule open, the assumption we made is stated. We test only the rules as presented and paraphrase the claim; watch the video for the creator's full explanation.
