Even if it's real most probably that was a fluke and future trades being profitable is not guaranteed.
u/Old-Helicopter-8897 1 1 day ago

Only 2 FY closed I will wait for more data point before concluding it was fluke or not Futures trading is very high risk and past performance is not indicative of future returns
