4 · Risk

Catching a falling knife if the long-term trend breaks; the 200-DMA filter reduces but does not remove that.

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 RSI(14) crosses above 30 and close is above the 200-day SMA. Sell when RSI(14) rises above 55.
