In past 5 yrs (1195 trading days), only 21 days has Nifty been at a deviation of ~6% or more from its mean of 50MA, with the max being 6.5%. Like had we closed at 12000 today, we would've been 6.5% away from 50MA. Currently at 5.9%, we are sitting in that last bucket (pic) (1/2)

System traders often overlook the fact that while backtesting you experience historical drawdowns of months/yrs, be it 20-30%, in just a matter of minutes. It all seems easy. However, in real, you live through DD phases day by day. So even a 5% DD has the power to rattle you. 👹
