DHAN F&O

💡 A nearer target is hit more often but wins less each time; the two roughly cancel. No reward:risk setting has been shown to beat another on this data — 1.5 is the default. The preset buttons never change reward:risk; 🎯 Strict sets score 90 and 1 trade/day.

These change two things only: the setup score required, and how many trades a day. Lots, stop size and target are never touched — a preset should not decide how much of your money is at risk. Each button says exactly what it will change before it does it.

⚠️ More Trades drops the score to 78. Anything below 85 is untested here, and 60 was the worst setting ever measured (−1.72R over 50 days).

Skips a setup whose direction disagrees with how FII moved their index-futures position on the last published day. Measured over 389 signals: with the flow +0.131R, against it −0.167R — a 0.299R gap (t = 2.44), holding in both halves of the sample and not explained by price momentum.

👁 Dry run is where this starts: it decides and logs, but takes every trade anyway. A blocked trade has no outcome, so a filter that only ever blocks can never be checked — dry run keeps the verdict and the result side by side. Watch the block rate above: the backtest turned away 48%.

⚠️ This prevents losses; it does not create profit. In the research the surviving half won 45.3% against a 45.2% break-even under that study's cost model. Today's break-even on the Stats tab is higher (measured costs), so that half may sit slightly BELOW break-even. The value is in not taking the other half. Expect about half as many trades.

Measured on ten months of one regime, and on a different score gate from the one running live — so it has never been tested on the trades it would now filter. If the FII file for the previous session is missing, the filter stands aside and trades run unfiltered rather than stopping. Every block is written to the log with the figure that caused it.
