This is what the system will yield (Excel at below).
I have outperformed this by and large in those 3 years in actual, but again then it is a pure mechnical system, no second guessing.
And Considering all gap and gap down and factoring in loss and profit.
And 0 shorts.
But during bearish cycle, hum ludo thodi na khelenge.
These are pre-optmization data.
Best part drawdown is really less. We will hardly need to refill account if we can stick to this.
TF is 15 mins, entry on candle closure and exit also on candle closure. Loo break leke bhi entry lena possible hain. Frequency is not high to miss out. And agar hota bhi hain, wat is gurantee we will miss the winning one, it ccould be a losing trade as well.
Once we compliment this with a mechnical shorting system, we can beat index most of the years.
Excel with my kind of Lot mangement.
