Target returns. Real risk. No fake track records.

We have chosen not to publish performance numbers before launch. Here is how we think about returns, what the target means, and how we validate the strategy.

Important: This page contains no guaranteed, certified, or verified historical performance. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Complete capital loss is possible. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

91% of retail F&O traders lose money and 96% of the profits accrue to algorithmic traders. Sleeping Trade exists to put that kind of execution infrastructure in the hands of retail participants who lack the time or coding skill to build it themselves.

2. Target return framework

What "5-7% monthly target" actually means — and what it does not mean.

What the target is

  • An aspirational monthly return range the strategy is designed around
  • Measured net of broker brokerage, STT, GST, and exchange fees
  • Expected to vary month to month — some months will be above the range, some below, some negative
  • Calibrated against Indian index volatility and F&O liquidity

What the target is NOT

  • A guarantee, warranty, or promise of any specific return
  • A certified or audited track record
  • A prediction for any specific calendar month
  • An indication that capital is protected — F&O carries substantial risk of loss

Why we quote a range, not a single number

Markets are regime-dependent. Trending environments, range-bound conditions, and volatility spikes each produce different return profiles. A 5-7% monthly range reflects the realistic variance of active strategies in Indian markets — not a smooth line. Some months will materially underperform this range; expect that.

3. Strategy validation methodology

How we develop and stress-test the strategy before putting it on real capital.

Backtesting

Strategies are evaluated on historical NSE price, volume, FII/DII, and options data. We test across multiple regimes — bull trends, corrections, range-bound periods, and volatility spikes — rather than one cherry-picked window.

Walk-forward testing

Parameters optimised on one time period are then tested on a later, unseen period. This helps detect overfitting — strategies that only "work" on the specific data they were tuned on.

Paper trading

Before any real-capital deployment, the strategy runs against live market data with simulated execution. Slippage, partial fills, and broker-level latency are modeled.

Risk-first review

Every change is evaluated primarily on its effect on maximum drawdown, tail loss, and days-to-recovery — not only on expected return. Upside without downside control is not a strategy.

What backtests cannot tell you

Historical simulations do not capture every real-world cost: unusual slippage during news events, partial fills in illiquid strikes, SEBI rule changes, exchange circuit breakers, or broker outages. Live performance can and will differ from backtested numbers. We disclose this up front rather than after a bad month.

4. Risk controls that shape the return profile

The targeted return range is only achievable alongside strict risk limits.

Per-trade cap

No single trade can consume more than a fixed percentage of capital (scaled by plan and risk profile). Diversification is enforced even on high-confidence setups.

Daily drawdown pause

If the portfolio drops beyond the daily drawdown limit, further trading pauses for the session. No averaging down, no revenge trades.

Broker-level stops

Stop losses sit at the broker, not with us. They execute even if our platform is offline.

5. What you will see once you are live

When the platform launches for you, this is the reporting you get.

Your broker dashboard

Every trade, every stop, every exit — logged in your own broker account. This is the single source of truth. Not our dashboard, not a screenshot, not a spreadsheet.

Daily P&L summary

A short end-of-day report with positions opened, positions closed, realised P&L, and a note on the day's market conditions.

WhatsApp alerts

Every entry, exit, and risk-control event pushed to you in real time. You always know what the system did without opening an app.
