Strategy review
5-EMA Magnet + 30-min Break (Devendra)
Reviewed video: “Intraday 5-EMA options strategy”
★☆☆☆☆
1.0/5
The claim
Use the daily 5-EMA as a 'magnet', enter on the break of the 30-minute range midpoint, and buy ATM options in the signal's direction.
How we tested it
Mechanized the spot signal on Nifty-50 intraday over 2 years (the directional edge decides the options overlay).
The data
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Win rate % | +41.00 |
| Payoff (×) | +0.88 |
| Expectancy R | -0.26 |
Our verdict
A tidy 'magnet' entry with an options overlay and confident presentation.
−0.26R per trade, −₹10.2 lakh over 2 years (41% win, payoff 0.88). It's the same intraday mean-reversion family that fails repeatedly, and buying options on a losing signal just adds the volatility-premium tax on top. Like most of the genre, the video ends with 'buy the course.'
Bottom line
★☆☆☆☆ 1.0/5
