Our paraphrase. See the video for the full explanation.
How our test compares
There is no total to compare; small +10% wins did not cover time-exit losses and costs. SENSEX (2024–26) also lost about ₹22.3k.
Rules we tested
The 9:15:00–9:15:29 candle's colour picks an ATM call (green) or put (red); buy when the option breaks its own first-30-second high, target +10%, exit by 9:30, no stop stated. Taught for stock options; we applied it to the indices with instant fills on the break.
Note: The video says the method is meant for stock options rather than indices.
Method
1-second tick data, instant stop-order fills from 9:15:30, real broker charges incl. STT and taxes, 0.25% 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.
