BANKBEES — into the 2020 crash on the hardest-hit sector
Banks fell further than the index in the COVID crash. Entered right before it, the ladder still ground out cycles all the way to the 2022 recovery. Simulated on Angel One daily candles, 03 Jan 2020 → 08 Jul 2022.
Price & every action the ladder took
Buys (green) cluster into the dips; the brake skips (amber) the fastest rungs to wait for deeper entries; sells (red) book each leg at its target on the way up.

Hypothetical backtest from historical Angel One daily candles — not a real trading record. Buys are simulated at the day's low, sells at the day's high, gross of brokerage, slippage & taxes; net returns would be lower.
Return on peak capital measures profit against the most ever deployed (₹8,29,769); return on average capital uses the typical amount set aside (₹2,81,276).
