About Edge Verify
Edge Verify exists for one reason: most trading tools are built to sell hope, and hope loses money. We build the opposite — tools that tell you the truth about your edge, even when the truth is unflattering.
Verify before you risk
Trading is one of the few skills where you can practise for years and never know if you are actually good — because the feedback is noisy, the costs are hidden, and the story you tell yourself is kind. Edge Verify replaces the story with evidence. Prove a strategy on eight years of history, run it live on paper with real discipline, and time your capital with research. Three pillars, one loop, zero signals.
We are not a tips channel, a signal service, or a guru. We do not know what the market will do tomorrow, and neither does anyone selling you certainty. What we can do is give you honest instruments so that your decisions rest on proof instead of vibes.
David Singh Rana
Edge Verify is built by David Singh Rana — a solo builder shipping in public. Frustrated by trading products that inflate backtests and hide costs, David set out to build the honest tools he wished existed for Indian markets: a backtester that refuses to cheat, a paper-trading platform that enforces discipline, and research that informs rather than instructs.
Building in the open means the roadmap is visible, the shortcuts are called out, and the product earns trust the slow way — by being right about the numbers. If a feature would make results look better than they are, it does not ship. That is the whole point.
Around 90% of retail traders lose money
Study after study of Indian retail derivatives traders points the same way: the large majority lose money, and a big share of those losses come not from bad ideas but from unverified ones — strategies never properly tested, costs never counted, and discipline never enforced. Edge Verify attacks each of those failures directly.
Untested strategies
Backtest on 8 years of NSE data with honest costs and no look-ahead bias — before a rupee is at risk.
Hidden costs
Brokerage, STT, GST, and slippage in every result, so you see net P&L, not fantasy P&L.
Broken discipline
Daily trade caps and position limits on live paper trading stop revenge trading and over-exposure.
Seven biases that quietly drain accounts
Verification is not just about data — it is about the trader. Each of these is a place where an honest record helps.
Loss aversion
Cutting winners early and letting losers run. A logged SL and target make the exit a rule, not a feeling.
Overconfidence
Mistaking a lucky streak for skill. A verified track record shows sample size and net results, not just the wins.
Narrative fallacy
Building a story to justify a trade. Backtests replace the story with what actually happened across regimes.
Need for certainty
Craving a guaranteed answer the market cannot give. Stress tests show ranges and worst cases, not false promises.
Identity threat
Refusing to admit a losing strategy because it feels personal. The log is neutral — it critiques the method, not you.
Strategy hopping
Abandoning a system after a normal drawdown. Backtested drawdown profiles show what "normal" actually looks like.
Emotional spiral
Revenge trading after a loss. Daily caps and max-open limits stop the spiral before it compounds.
Our promises, in writing
These are the commitments baked into every part of Edge Verify. If we ever break one, hold us to it.
