R0514: PASS

Descriptive statistics, no trading costs in the probabilities (the backtest columns alone use estimated costs). Rules were discovered and tuned on 2022-01 → 2024-12 only, frozen, then tested once on 2025-01 → 2026-10. Millions of hypotheses were searched, so read the corrected p-values and the out-of-sample columns, not the training hit rates. Not investment advice; not a trading system.

Rule: When size of the move from the open to 10:15 (either direction) ≤ 0.17% (≈43 pts at 25,000) AND 1-min ATR(14) as % of price ≤ 0.0388 AND 1-min Supertrend is down at 10:15

Target: the day closes more than 150 pts beyond the open in the direction of the move so far · Decision time: 10:15 IST (uses bars up to 10:15 only) · Method: subgroup · Family: level / structure

Verdict criteria

✔ Out-of-sample lift in the same direction as train
✔ OOS Wilson 95% CI excludes the OOS base rate
✔ OOS BH q ≤ 0.05 across all candidates tested OOS AND within its target family
✔ Train BH q ≤ 0.05 (across all hypotheses searched)
✔ Stable by year (same direction in ≥80% of years with ≥10 days, incl. every OOS year with ≥10)
✔ OOS matched-random placebo p ≤ 0.05
✔ OOS sample ≥ 20 days

Train p 8.1e-07; train BH q 7.1e-05; train Holm 1.000 (corrections over all 9,242,869 hypotheses); whole-pipeline shuffled-label placebo family-wise p 0.347 (100 permutations). Extra conditions beat the best single condition OOS: True.

Spot-points backtest (estimated costs)

enter at 10:15 price against the move direction; stop 0.4% of entry; exit at close. Costs: Nifty futures round-trip model from nifty-setups-backtest/src/costs.py (brokerage, exchange, SEBI, stamp, GST, STT by date: 0.0125% → 0.02% from Oct-2024 → 0.05% from Apr-2026) + 0.5 pt slippage per side; spot used as a futures proxy (basis ignored); stop-first on ambiguous bars.
