Strategy review
MA Crossover + HTF Filter (Pawan Sharma)
Reviewed video: “Intraday moving-average crossover strategy”
The claim
A 5-minute SMMA 11/21 crossover, filtered by the higher-timeframe (15-min) trend, with a confirmed entry, swing stop, and exit on the reverse cross or 3:15.
How we tested it
Faithful test on Nifty-50, 5-min, 2 years, ₹40k/trade, at zero, 0.05% and 0.10% slippage — 19,197 trades.
The data
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Zero slippage | -7.10L |
| 0.05% slippage | -10.80L |
| 0.10% slippage | -14.60L |
Our verdict
A polished 'I quit my job to trade this' pitch, and the higher-timeframe filter is a sensible addition that does help versus a naive crossover.
But it's dead even before costs: −₹7.1 lakh at zero slippage over 19,197 trades, 34% win. Five-minute large-caps chop far more than they trend, the reverse-cross exit hands back every runner, and 19,000 trades let charges bury a near-zero edge. The blockbuster crossovers in the video are cherry-picked from old charts.
Bottom line
★☆☆☆☆ 1.0/5
