Strategy review
Vande Bharat Intraday (Inside-Bar Breakout)
Reviewed video: “How To Select Stocks For Intraday Trading | SAGAR SINHA”
The claim
Skip the first 3 candles. When a 5-min candle closes above the previous day's high, wait for a red inside candle on lower volume, then enter on the break of that candle's high with a micro stop at its low. Mirror for shorts.
How we tested it
Mechanized on 48 Nifty-50 stocks, 5-min bars, 2 years, with slippage stress and real costs. Full period plus 2026.
The data
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Win rate (%) | +14.40 |
| Expectancy (R)×−10 | +9.26 |
| 2026 expectancy (R)×−10 | -9.00 |
Our verdict
The 'high RR' micro-stop pitch sounds appealing and does create a convex tail (a +19R winner exists).
But the micro stop is a trap: a 14.4% win rate — the inside-bar low gets shredded by noise — makes it deeply negative (−0.93R per trade, −₹3.3M over 15,000 trades), and 2026 loses too. Tight stops on a no-edge signal don't create 'high RR'; they create high frequency of small losses. Dead.
Bottom line
★☆☆☆☆ 1.0/5
