What the video claims
About 3,000–4,000% simulated return (on index points; report not shown).
Our paraphrase. See the video for the full explanation.
How our test compares
The percentage claim cannot be checked (no report or capital shown, index points not option P&L); a real but modest edge exists on NIFTY, far smaller than the claim, and BANKNIFTY lost in 2025–26.

Rules we tested
On the 10:40, 10:50 and 14:55 5-min candles with a body ≥ 80% of range, a break of a green candle's high buys a 2-ITM call and a break of a red candle's low buys a 2-ITM put. Stop at the candle's other end on the index, no target, exit 15:15. We assumed the break must come on the next candle.
Note: Low win rate and long flat spells.
