One (Gochar stock picking) looked promising on its own but fell away after correcting for 12 tests. Development data 2016–2023; the 2024–26 data is sealed until the code is frozen. Live paper portfolios run from 27 October 2026.

What the planets did to NSE stocks
Each claim is compared with 2,000 fake calendars: the real sky shifted by random amounts, which keeps every retrograde's length and rhythm. A claim counts only if the real sky beats almost all of them.
Saturn retrograde
Claim: Steady stocks fall
Jupiter retrograde
Claim: Steady stocks fall
Saturn, Jupiter or Rahu changes sign
Claim: Steady stocks get jumpier

Gochar stock picking
Claim: Stocks whose listing-date Moon is favoured by Jupiter and Saturn do better next month
Below 0.05 on its own, but 0.32 after correcting for 13 tests. Not supported yet; the sealed 2024–26 data will decide.
Machine learning with astro features
Claim: Adding planetary features improves ML forecasts more than fake planetary features do
Bar = p-value against shifted calendars (shorter is stronger; the green mark is 0.05). A claim is supported only if it also survives the Holm correction for all 13 tests. Data: all_tests_dev.csv

The astro schedule
Planet windows are known years ahead, so the full schedule to 2030 was published and Bitcoin-timestamped before the first trade. Anyone can check later that nothing moved. Next 30 trading days:

Method
How the test is kept fair
Claims fixed first
Twelve claims, their windows and pass rules were written down and timestamped on Bitcoin before any result.
Every NSE stock
About 2,600 main-board stocks from 2016; portfolios use those trading at least ₹1 crore a day.
Real astronomy
NASA JPL ephemeris, Lahiri sidereal zodiac, mean Rahu/Ketu; checked against published panchang and eclipse dates.
Fake calendars
2,000 shifted calendars per claim, correction for many claims, and a 2024–26 holdout opened only once.
