RETAIL ALGO TRADER • PERFORMANCE REVIEW • 10 OCTOBER 2026
Seven Algo Strategies.
Net Returns. Full Transparency.
A closer look at our selected equity, Natural Gas and Crude Oil strategies — with average monthly returns, drawdowns and the original reports available to download.
We reviewed numerous strategies and built this collection around two considerations: a positive current month and the longest available performance history. The purpose is to make the evidence easy to inspect: how much a strategy earned, how uneven the journey was, and how long recovery took.
The selection snapshot: Six reports show positive October returns through 9 October 2026. One supplied report, 529 Crude, shows a negative October and is presented separately as a watchlist exception. October is still in progress.
What “net returns” means here
All figures below use the PDFs’ Net of costs setting, with statutory and exchange charges applied, including STT/CTT as relevant to the segment. The Cost Lab shows brokerage, slippage and other per-order charges set to zero. Subscription and platform fees are not shown as deductions. These are therefore net returns on the reports’ stated cost assumptions; a subscriber’s actual result can differ.

ROI uses each report’s stated capital/margin base. The different histories and capital bases mean these percentages should not be added together or treated as a tested portfolio return. Monthly averages include partial calendar months and are not promised monthly income.

Creator Favourite Natural Gas
15.6% average monthly net ROI
₹23,433 average monthly net P&L
₹5,62,392 cumulative net P&L • 374.93% total ROI
History: 25 Nov 2024 – 9 Oct 2026 • 460 trading days
Report capital: ₹1,50,000
Max drawdown: ₹70,213 (14.94% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 98 trading days
The longest Natural Gas record in this collection pairs substantial cumulative gains with a demanding 98-trading-day underwater spell. Its worst month was −17.2%; patience and the ability to absorb losses remain central.
4 Natural Gas
8.6% average monthly net ROI
₹12,843 average monthly net P&L
₹2,31,175 cumulative net P&L • 154.12% total ROI
History: 21 May 2025 – 9 Oct 2026 • 338 trading days
Report capital: ₹1,50,000
Max drawdown: ₹26,117 (10.95% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 40 trading days
The report shows 15 positive months out of 18, with a profit factor of 2.05. February and March 2026 were strong, but June and August were negative. The monthly pattern deserves attention alongside the average.
153 Crude Oil
2.2% average monthly net ROI
₹15,514 average monthly net P&L
₹3,72,329 cumulative net P&L • 53.19% total ROI

Max drawdown: ₹48,570 (4.98% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 25 trading days
With 468 trading days and 22 positive months out of 24, this is the longest trading-day record here. Its reported average monthly ROI is lower than the Natural Gas strategies, accompanied by a smaller reported peak-equity drawdown percentage.
ONGC
10.6% average monthly net ROI
₹2,648 average monthly net P&L
₹13,242 cumulative net P&L • 52.97% total ROI
History: 2 Jun 2026 – 9 Oct 2026 • 94 trading days
Report capital: ₹25,000
Max drawdown: ₹3,656 (12.30% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 18 trading days
ONGC has a strong reported monthly average on a ₹25,000 base, but only 94 trading days of history. July was negative. The short record makes continued observation particularly valuable.
Reliance
5.3% average monthly net ROI
₹1,327 average monthly net P&L
₹9,287 cumulative net P&L • 37.15% total ROI
History: 21 Apr 2026 – 9 Oct 2026 • 124 trading days
Report capital: ₹25,000
Max drawdown: ₹5,611 (17.72% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 60 trading days
The equity strategy has five positive months out of seven, including the current partial month. Its 60-trading-day underwater spell and ₹5,611 drawdown show why headline returns should be read alongside recovery history.
11 Natural Gas Mini
3.8% average monthly net ROI
₹957 average monthly net P&L
₹7,656 cumulative net P&L • 30.62% total ROI
History: 30 Mar 2026 – 9 Oct 2026 • 140 trading days
Report capital: ₹25,000
Max drawdown: ₹3,290 (10.88% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 46 trading days
This evening-session Mini strategy reports 140 trading days and a 1.57 profit factor. June and August were losing months. The PDF counts eight calendar months, including an initial zero-trade March and the incomplete October.
529 Crude — Watchlist
2.9% average monthly net ROI
₹19,982 average monthly net P&L
₹2,39,783 cumulative net P&L • 34.25% total ROI
History: 4 Nov 2025 – 9 Oct 2026 • 197 trading days
Report capital: ₹7,00,000
Max drawdown: ₹41,830 (5.18% of peak equity)
Longest underwater spell: 15 trading days
The longer record remains positive, with 11 positive months out of 12. However, October is currently −₹13,141 (−1.9%), so it does not meet the positive-current-month filter at this snapshot. It is included transparently as a watchlist exception.
Read the drawdown before the return
There are two different percentage bases in these reports. ROI is measured against the stated starting capital; drawdown percentage is measured from peak equity. For example, the Creator Favourite Natural Gas report shows a ₹70,213 maximum rupee drawdown and a 14.94% maximum percentage drawdown. ₹70,213 is also about 46.8% of its ₹1,50,000 starting capital. The largest rupee and percentage drawdowns can occur in different episodes.
A 98-trading-day underwater spell also tells a different story from a single losing day. Recovery time affects the discipline needed to keep following a strategy. The PDFs preserve the losing months, equity curves and recovery history so readers can assess that journey themselves.
Our filter is a shortlist, not a forecast. Selecting strategies after seeing their returns introduces selection bias. A positive current month does not establish that the next month will be positive. The shorter equity and Mini histories deserve more observation, and combining several energy strategies does not by itself prove diversification.
For interested subscribers
Start with the full report for each strategy.
