FRIDAY

An automated strategy, marked against the index every day.

FRIDAY is a rules-based system that trades Indian listed equities with real capital. It has one job: finish a 365-day cycle ahead of the Nifty 500. This page is the scoreboard, published after each session and never edited by hand.

Return since cycle start

FRIDAY
Nifty 500
Against the index

Both measured from the same start date. Capital added mid-cycle is excluded from FRIDAY's return, so top-ups cannot flatter the number.

A notional ₹100 compounded each session by the day's return — like a smallcase model portfolio. Real rupee balances are never published.

EDITH · CANSLIM sleeve

A second rules-based sleeve inside the same account. EDITH screens for CANSLIM-style earnings acceleration and price leadership, runs on its own dedicated capital, and obeys its own market-regime gate. System state only — no names, no counts, no amounts, no trade activity.

Both lines start at zero on the first day of the cycle. The gap between them is the only number the covenant is judged on.

What FRIDAY is

FRIDAY is an autopilot for a single equity account. It is not a fund, it takes no outside money, and it manages a single account and nothing else. It runs on a fixed daily schedule without a human in the loop: it forms tomorrow's plan the previous evening, and the next day it either executes that plan or does nothing at all.

Everything it does is delivery-based cash equity. No leverage, no derivatives, no intraday positions, no short selling. A position is bought outright and held until a rule sells it.

How the model portfolio is maintained

One score decides everything

Every candidate is reduced to a single number out of 100, built from trend quality, momentum relative to the index, participation from volume, relative strength and the reward available against the risk taken. Only high scores are bought, and the same score is re-applied to open positions every week. There are no favourites and no discretionary overrides.

Risk is fixed before entry

Position size is set from the stock's own volatility, so that every trade puts the same small fraction of capital at risk regardless of which stock it is. Size is recalculated from live account equity on every run, so exposure scales with the account rather than drifting.

Exits are mechanical

Losers are cut on a stop ladder rather than on judgment; winners are held while the rules that bought them still hold. Falling equity tightens the system automatically, halving new position sizes and then pausing new entries entirely if the drawdown deepens.

It trades rarely

A broad market filter throttles or stops new buying when the market's internals are weak, whatever the individual scores say. The normal cadence is nought to two new positions a week, frequently none. Doing nothing is the default state, not a failure of the system.

What this page will never show

No holdings. Not the names, not the number of positions, not entry or exit prices, not what was bought or sold on any given day. The published file contains aggregate figures only — dates, day counters, two percentages, and EDITH's numeric status enums (mode, capital-confirmed, and market regime — no watchlist or trade counts) — and there is no code path by which an instrument name could reach it. The account's absolute rupee balance and EDITH's rupee allocation are likewise never published: the page shows returns and a value-of-₹100 index, not an amount. The selection rules and the thresholds behind the scores are also not published. What you get is the outcome, on the same terms the covenant is judged on.
