4 · Risk
False breakouts reverse quickly; the tight EMA exit keeps those losses small.
Test assumptions: long only, one position per stock, next-open fills, 0.2% round-trip cost, split-adjusted prices without dividends, current Nifty 50 members (survivorship bias). Past results do not predict future returns.
5 · Test it on any stock
Open the AI Backtester with these rules pre-filled, pick a stock and a date range, and add your own stop-loss or target.
Buy when close rises above the previous 20-day high and volume is above 1.5 times its 20-day average and RSI(14) is above 55. Sell when close falls below the 20-day EMA.
