You are ahead, but the evidence of an edge is weak
Over 135 trades (2025-06-13 to 2026-10-15) you kept ₹63,920 after ₹70,467 in estimated charges. The biggest leak below cost you ₹1,60,241.
The gain is small against the swings from trade to trade. A run like this turns up by chance often enough that it proves little yet.
The test behind it: the gains are too uneven to separate from luck (steadiness 0.64 per day; 1.5 is the least that counts as moderate evidence).
Read it top to bottom: the verdict, then the fixes worth the most money, then where the money went. Everything after that is the detail behind those.
Weakest: Costs. How every point was lost →
If you had no edge at all, a per-day gain this large would still turn up by chance more often than not. Take out what NIFTY did while each trade was open and the same trades average +0.127 % per day.
The whole book as one: 135 trades on 59 symbols (56 long, 79 short), Futures. Read from a broker tradebook. Each strategy is also graded on its own further down.
Charges are estimated: each trade's own turnover at today's statutory rates (2026-10 (STT per Budget 2026, eff 1-Apr-2026)) plus the brokerage you set, no slippage added since your fills already carry it. Your broker's contract notes are the actual figure; if the file carries them, the audit uses those instead.
Early access: this is the full audit. Sections marked Full audit will be paid later; the free report is everything else.
Fix these first
The rupee figures on these cards overlap: one trade can sit in a losing name, a big-loss day and the charges at once. They are the size of each leak, not savings that add up.
Ten trades are 43 % of all your losses-₹1.60 L
Your ten worst trades lost ₹1,60,241 of the ₹3,69,336 lost in all. The three worst: 2026-06-24 HDFCBANK26JUNFUT Futures, same-day, short, morning (09:45-12:00) (-₹31,785); 2025-11-12 HDFCBANK25NOVFUT Futures, same-day, long, morning (09:45-12:00) (-₹16,189); 2025-07-25 RELIANCE25JULFUT Futures, same-day, short, morning (09:45-12:00) (-₹16,002).
Next: Read these ten before anything else. What they share -- a name, a strategy, a hold, a size, a day -- is your first rule; the rest of the book is noise next to them.
3 days cost you 20 % of all your losses-₹75 k
A typical losing day costs ₹5,989; these lost at least three times that: 2026-06-24 (-₹31,785); 2025-11-12 (-₹23,995); 2026-07-28 (-₹18,830).
Next: The book is decided on a handful of days. A daily loss limit at about twice the typical losing day would have cut these; test it on the next month before trusting it.
Costs take 52 % of what you make-₹70 k
Each trade makes +0.168 % before costs and pays 0.063 % in charges and slippage. If your real fills are a little worse than modelled -- twice the costs -- the average day loses money (-0.005 %).
Next: A trade should make at least two to three times its cost. Check the brokerage you entered, and if your fills are worse than the default slippage, believe the doubled-costs line. The fix is more profit per trade, not more trades: every extra trade pays the same charges.

Your biggest trades lose-₹33 k
The largest tenth of your trades by margin (14 trades) lost ₹33,011 and won 57 % of the time; the other 121 trades made +₹96,931 and won 57 %. A random set of 14 trades does this badly 7.9 % of the time.
Next: Size is the one thing you control completely. Cap the next month's trades at your median size and re-audit: if the result improves, the edge was never in the big trades.
Futures, same-day, short, morning (09:45-12:00) cost you ₹8,429 on 58 trades, won 60 %-₹8429
Your two most expensive trade types: Futures, same-day, short, morning (09:45-12:00) (58 trades, -₹8,429, won 60 %); Futures, same-day, long, morning (09:45-12:00) (46 trades, +₹4,792, won 50 %). Your two best: Futures, other (13 trades, +₹45,821, won 69 %); Futures, same-day, short, midday (12:00-14:30) (18 trades, +₹21,736, won 56 %).
Next: This is a group the audit sees from the trades alone, not one of your named strategies. Name your strategies in the table at the end of the report and re-grade: if one setup sits behind these trades, it gets its own row and its own skill-or-luck read.
Not enough trades yet to tell
The result is positive, but with 112 days a run of luck could produce it (about more often than not). At this rate you would need about 994 more days before it counts as evidence.
Next: Keep the record going without changing the rules and re-audit at about 1106 days. Every rule change restarts the count.
Futures, same-day, long, morning (09:45-12:00) loses while the rest carry the book
Futures, same-day, long, morning (09:45-12:00): -0.002 % per day on 46 trades, +₹4,792. The others together read better than the whole-book grade.
Next: Judge each strategy on its own row below; the whole-book grade mixes them. If the losing one is a different idea, audit it as a separate file.
The drawdown was 15 % of capital
Deepest drawdown -₹62,724 against the peak margin the book needed (you gave no capital figure), ₹4,05,429. Return on that capital over the span: +15.8 %.
Next: If your real capital was larger than the peak margin, enter it on the upload page and this share falls. If it was not, a hole this deep will recur, and capital that cannot absorb it twice is too small for this book.
Expect a losing run of at least 6 trades
Longest losing run 6 trades; deepest drawdown -₹62,724 (2025-11-25).
Next: Runs this long will happen again. Any size that cannot sit through this drawdown twice is too big for this record.

By strategy Full audit
Each strategy is judged on its own trades and its own blocks; the verdict at the top is for the whole book. Your file carries no strategy names, so these are trade types the audit can see on its own: segment, same-day or overnight, long or short, and for options the structure. To see your own strategies graded, download the trades below, fill the strategy column, and upload that file together with your trades.

When you trade: entries, exits, holds Full audit
From the trade list alone. 12 slices were tried against the random-skip null, so about 1 could pass by luck; a flag is a lead to re-check on new trades, never a rule.

Next: 12:00-12:59 exits average -0.079 % on 45 trades; without them the rest average +0.198 %, and a random skip of the same size does as well 4.8 % of the time. Keep taking them for now and re-check on the next 50 trades; if it holds there, that is a rule you can write down.

Median hold: winners 90 minutes, losers 90 minutes (1.0x). The 57 trades held past the winners' median averaged +0.052 % and won 56 %.
Held to the close
Needs the instrument's close on each trade's exit day. Add a close column to a trade list and every trade is re-priced as if held to the close, same costs. A broker tradebook cannot carry it; the broker-data phase of the full audit will. What no trade list can show: the best and worst price each trade saw, so whether a time stop or an earlier exit would have helped.
The numbers behind the verdict skill or luck, the untouched test, capital, charges, every slice
Skill or luck: the numbers Full audit
The whole book, all segments together. Each row is one slice of your trades; t per day treats each trading day as one result (trades on the same day move together) and is the score to quote. What the t columns mean: t is the steadiness score -- how many times bigger the average gain is than the swings around it. Under 1: could easily be luck. 1 to 2: maybe skill. Over 2: too steady to be luck. t per trade counts every trade; t neutral is the score after NIFTY's own move during each trade is taken out.

Best day 2026-05-29 (+₹28,424), worst day 2025-11-12 (-₹23,995).
Return on your capital Full audit
Capital here is the peak margin the book needed -- the least capital that would have carried it. Enter your real capital on the upload page for the true percentages. Margin per trade is a modelled fraction of turnover (the fractions are in "How this was read"); an option position uses its own base.
| Segment | Margin assumed | Trades | Avg margin | Net ₹ | RoM / trade, mean | median | RoM / margin-day, median | Won |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stock futures | 20.0 % | 135 | ₹1,68,549 | +₹63,920 | +0.53 % | +0.53 % | +0.53 % | 57 % |
RoM per margin-day = net / (margin × days held, at least one): the unit that compares segments on capital rather than on turnover.
Did it keep working on untouched trades Full audit
No split date was given, so the last 30 % of trading days (from 2026-06-11) are held out and judged on their own. If you tuned the strategy on all of these trades, this is not a true out-of-sample test -- tell us the date you stopped tuning. PASS needs a positive net per day, a steadiness of 1.5 or more after the market's move is taken out, and a positive market-neutral average.

Average cost 0.063 % per trade against an average gross +0.168 %. If your real fills are worse than modelled, the 2x line is the one to believe.

Which trades to question Full audit
0 of 19 slices pass the bar (skipping them lifts the kept trades' average by 10 % or more, refuses no more than 40 % of trades, and beats a random skip of the same size at 5 %). 19 slices were tried, so about 1 could pass by luck alone: treat a flag as an idea to test on new trades, never a rule.

How this was read
- broker tradebook: 247 fills matched FIFO per instrument into 135 round trips
- no strategy column: trades were grouped into 4 trade types by segment, hold, side and entry time (fewer than 8 trades folded into 'other'); name your own strategies in the report to grade each one
- costs in rupees from each trade's own turnover: statutory stack (2026-10 (STT per Budget 2026, eff 1-Apr-2026)) + brokerage Rs 20 per order + GST; no slippage added -- real fills carry it in the price
- MARKET-NEUTRAL: each trade minus the NIFTY move over its hold, signed for its side (a same-day trade uses the previous close -> close, a proxy for an intraday window)
- MARGIN per trade = Stock futures 20.0 % of turnover (echoing the measured fractions behind this audit) -- ASSUMED; your broker's margin statement is the truth
Not checked here
- Whether the rules used any information that was not available at the moment of the trade (look-ahead). Only you can confirm this.
- Whether these exact trades were chosen after trying many variants. A strategy picked as the best of 50 needs a far higher bar.
- Fills: limit orders that would not have filled, circuit limits, and impact on thin names are not modelled beyond the slippage line.
- Margin, leverage and position sizing: returns are per trade on its own turnover.
Your trades, as read
Every trade this audit counted, one row each, with a strategy column to fill in. Name your strategies in it, then upload it together with your trades file and each strategy gets its own grade.
Name your strategies
Your file carries no strategy names, so the audit grouped trades into types it can see. Name your own: describe each strategy the way you think of it and every trade that fits attaches to it; a trade that fits two goes to the first one listed; the rest stay "not named". Then re-grade and each strategy gets its own skill-or-luck read, its own habits, its own rupees. Nothing is saved on our side: download the strategies and upload them with next month's trades to keep the same names.
Or tag a few trades and let the audit work out the rule
Type the strategy name against five or six trades of each kind below, press Work out the rules, and the audit says what those trades have in common and how many more fit. A name typed against a trade always wins over a rule.
