To those who say trend following is easy -- I am in good DD in my intraday trading & around 10:45pm, MTM was around 8.5L (video attached) MTM went to 13L 1st & went to 3L before exiting the day at 6.5L 1. When it was at 13L, i thought great trending day in progress 😅 1/

NSE automatically deactivates an acct for incomplete/outdated KYC - lets assume its ok for a moment But, if there's an open position, why cant NSE square them off before deactivating the account? Or why @zerodhaonline could not identify this KYC? This can happen to anyone 🙃

Have you ever wondered why great traders don’t come in large numbers? 😃 Great trading, like greatness in any profession, is a harmonizing act. Each trade requires us to split ourselves into two fragments - one is caution, and the other is boldness. (1/3)

Let your profits run -- I am sure we all have heard 'cut your losses & let your profits run' so many times. As a matter of fact, once a trader get some 'learnings' from the market, they are very good at cutting losses 😊 Very few let their profits run - why? Lets explore 1/

Cannot believe that these were said 2000 years ago 😊 Epictetus was a stoic philosopher and his philosophies were great inspiration for many - right from the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius to modern psychologists 😀 Have a great day all !!

Exits and stops ------------------ When a trader starts to trade the markets, his/her whole focus usually revolves around the entries and exits are generally ignored (no exit plan) or random in nature. They come out whenever they 'feel' like 😊 1/

If someone is trading for 5+ years (and claim that he/she is profitable) and not able to scale up more than 10/20 lots, what could be the reason? 1. Happy with 10/20 lots income (i think job is better than trading just 20 lots)? (or) 2. Too scared to trade big size?

This 'shortcut' mentality is really plaguing lot of folks nowadays & eventually, they short-circuit themselves 😊 1) One should not depend on trading income for 1st 5 yrs 2) Give atleast 3-5 yrs to achieve trading competency. PFA something i shared with a webinar group !!

The path of zero resistance - ignore naysayers and negative people. Never allow them near you and never ever fuel them with your response. We have wars to win, worlds to conquer and just one lifetime to do it all. Always surround yourself with positivity!!

Hit equity curve in intraday after 25 days - acct is marching ahead & next milestone is 15lacs (400% returns) Initially, some were attributing this performance to luck but i guess riding luck for 176 trades is a bit tough 😉 Let see how things unfold

Once we figure out internals are more important than externals, profound clarity of thought process will engulf us. Traversing the path (journey) is much sweeter than the end-result. Trading is a journey !! Enjoy 'YOUR' journey - happy trading all 😊 (20/20)

Subjectivity in risk management -- I would like to briefly talk about risk mgmt in this thread (something that is not talked about much anywhere else) The whole question of risk management is far from an objective subject. 1/11
