Annual Total Return Comparison (2015 – 2026 YTD)

Compounded calendar-year totals matching the Total column above

⚠️ Read this before relying on these numbers

The 2015–2026 monthly return matrix is a test of the Momentum Twenty rule on past NSE prices, after 0.30% trading cost on every buy and sell and before tax. Nobody traded it over those years.

• Compounded Totals: Each year's TOTAL column compounds its months (e.g., 2021's +73.0% simple sum compounds to +101.5%).
• Drawdown Reality: The basket fell as much as −25.9% from a high, with losing years such as 2016 at −4.8%, 2018 at −10.9%, 2025 at −7.0%, and Mar 2020 at −12.8%.
• Chosen on this history: The rule was picked after comparing many versions on these same years, so it looks better here than it is likely to do from now on.
• No Return Assurance: Past performance does not guarantee future results. Delisted and merged stocks are included; dividends are partly missing. FutureGain is a research tool, not a SEBI-registered adviser.

FutureGain Rule Pipeline

How Momentum Twenty Ranks and Holds Its Stocks

Momentum Twenty is arithmetic only: no AI score, no fundamentals, no forecasts, no stop-loss and no discretion. Every stock passes through the same steps on every scan:

1. Liquidity PoolTop 200

The 200 Nifty 500 stocks with the highest average daily traded value over the last 20 sessions.

2. 12-Month Momentum50% Wt

Price change from 252 sessions ago to 21 sessions ago, leaving out the latest month, as a percentile against every Nifty 500 stock.

3. 52-Week High Nearness50% Wt

How close the price is to its 52-week high, as a percentile. The two scores are averaged into one rank.

4. Hold the Top 205.0% each

The 20 highest-ranked stocks are held in equal rupee amounts.

5. Exit Past Rank 75Every 10 sessions

A holding leaves only if it ranks past 75, leaves the 200 most traded, or goes under exchange surveillance. The best-ranked name not held takes the slot.

6. Market Switch50% cash

If the Nifty 50 closed below its 200-session average on a check day, half the money waits in cash until it is back above.

Rules & Governance

What a Momentum Basket Is Like to Hold

01Results Come in Bursts: Strong stretches can be followed by a year or more of flat or negative returns, and the basket can lose money in a year when the index gains.
02Sharper Falls in Turns: Stocks that rose most are often sold first when the market turns. Many holdings are mid-sized companies, which move more than the largest ones.
03No Stop-Loss: A holding is not sold for rising or falling, only for losing its rank, which can be well after its price has dropped. The market switch acts only on a check day.
04Costs Matter: It trades more than the Liquid Twenty, so brokerage, taxes and slippage weigh more on the result.

Live Record StatusStarts with first scan

Until enough rebalance periods have completed, any live return figure would move by double digits on the next result, so none is shown. The tested figures above are not this live record.
