The Basket

Four shares priced Rs 1 to Rs 10, held together for 63 trading sessions, about three months. The question it answers is narrow: does at least one of the four reach +20%? Over 2023 to 2026 it did on 87 baskets in 100; over 2016 to 2022, on 72. Four shares drawn at random from the same pond managed 85 and 63. The basket is the engine. The choosing is a tie-break.

How it forms a basket

Every 63 sessions it lists every share priced between Rs 1 and Rs 10 that has traded at least Rs 1 million a day over the last month, leaves out anything M5 or M6 has picked that same day, and takes the four that move the most. Buy all four at the next session's open. If an open is already locked up the limit, that share has no fill and waits for the session after.

We asked for one share, Rs 1 to Rs 30, +20% in three months, 80 times in 100. No rule we could measure gets one share past about half. Twelve ways of choosing the four were measured on the same decade of prices; the losers are published on this page beside the winner, and the winner beats a random draw by about ten points on 2016 to 2022 and two points on the years after.

When it sells

Leave a sell order resting at +20% on each of the four. There is no stop, because none was measured, and the page says what that costs: on 2016 to 2022 nearly one share per basket fell 25% or more inside the window. The basket is held to the end of its 63 sessions even after one share reaches the target, and a new basket forms the session after.

Is this engine for you?

This is for someone who can hold four thin, cheap shares at once and take a profit on whichever one moves, knowing the other three may not. It is not a promise that the basket makes money: on 2016 to 2022 the four were worth 3.8% less together at the end of the window on average, even though one of them reached +20% in 72 baskets of 100. Reaching a number and keeping it are different things, which is why every share carries its own resting sell order.

Before you follow this

The limits of this engine, stated plainly. The rule was chosen on 2016 to 2022 and the years after were held out; the random-four figure printed beside every number is there because on this objective the two are close, and hiding that would be the lie.

Educational analytics only. This is not investment advice and we are not licensed advisors. Past results do not guarantee future results. Every figure on this page is re-read from the engine's own published record each time the page loads, so if a number gets worse, it gets worse here too.
