🛡️ Robustness — ATR multiplier

The published rule uses 3. If the edge vanishes one step either side, it was probably fitted to history.

4 · Risk

Frequent small losses in choppy markets; the ATR stop can be wide on volatile stocks.

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 the daily Supertrend(10, 3) flips green, sell when it flips red.
