The Ultimate List of Trading Mistakes I have committed.

A long thread. Read on.

Which mistakes have you committed?

 1) Strategy Hopping: Changing Strategy as soon as I got a series of losses. Sometimes faster than changing daily clothes. What about you?
2) Trading without knowing the rules of the market:

a few examples

a) Change in lot size
b) Not knowing the margin
c) Not knowing how Options settle

Sounds Familiar?
3) No Backups

One should be prepared for unknown events, like having 2 internet lines, 2 laptops, 2 brokers, etc
4) Not expecting the worse

Remember

PNB Scam
Air Strike
A big leader dying

Anything can happen, that's why keep stop-loss in the system.
5) Not watching the Tv and keeping tracking of news.

Remember Nirmala Sitaraman Candle, I was not watching the news but luckily @yogeeswarpal called me and told me abt the news. Else I would have missed the rally. The inverse can also happen.
@yogeeswarpal 6) Relaxing post markets

Some say trading begins post-market and ends before the market opens.

It's all about the preparation for the next day, analysis of today's trades, even small things like preparing watchlist upfront matters.
@yogeeswarpal 7) Not logging the trades: Be it weight loss or be it trading, logging is most important. Logging all the trades and analyzing them is most important.
@yogeeswarpal 8) Not understanding the market: Not understanding the basic structure of the market like its bullish, bearish, sideways, making HHLH can help a lot.
@yogeeswarpal 9) Overconfident: Getting god-like feeling with successive wins and basking in a fake superiority complex.

This is what kills most traders, during their good run they are not willing to listen to anyone.
@yogeeswarpal 10) Keeping Small Stop loss :

I kept 3-4 points SL in Nifty and 20 points in Bn, Market was smart enough to take all my SL. Should have placed SL based on proper exits.
@yogeeswarpal 11) Keeping Daily Targets :

10% a month = 0.5% a day. I kept daily targets, when not met, felt unhappy. Shifted to weekly and monthly targets.
@yogeeswarpal 12) Ignoring Basic Maths

Finding a systems R:R and win/loss ratio can help a lot, but i ignored it intially. When you are bad at basic maths, more likely to fail.
@yogeeswarpal 13) Blaming Markets

I found a quick fix to console myself, Whenever I had a loss I blamed the market, operators for SL hunting, taking my stop loss. A big mistake.
@yogeeswarpal 14) Believing Pundits on TV :

I too fell in the trap of pundits on tv who were forecasting nifty/Sensex on daily basis just like an astrologer forecasted my future when I was born, got married, and other times.
@yogeeswarpal 15) Getting Bored :

Getting bored and firing trades. Once I was in a hospital and was getting bored, started trading. Suddenly the doctor called, by the time doctor gave me his bill, the market also gave me a huge bill. Always trade from your proper work setup.
@yogeeswarpal 16) Watching MTM

Emotionally draining. I still do it but have reduced frequency.
@yogeeswarpal 17) Dreaming with Imaginary profit/loss

I would have bought a car if today i would have avoided this loss or if I can get x amt I can go to Antarctica. Dreaming with virtual profit

This video will help in understanding my situation.

https://t.co/Z6DvBcDvw1
@yogeeswarpal 18) Correlated strategies

Trading in Correlated strategies and expecting different outcomes.

A simple example is if the market is down by 2%, most of your scripts will be down, That's correlation.
@yogeeswarpal 19) Averaging Losses

Almost everyone i know has done this mistake once. When you buy a script and it goes down you add more to the average. Nahin Karne ka.
@yogeeswarpal 20) Holding losers /selling winners

Selling winners first and holding losers is another mistake i did a lot
21) Changing stop loss: Often Changing the stop loss in anticipation that price will revert. Never do ungli to stop loss, else the market will do until to u.
22) Mental Stop Loss: Using mental stop loss rather than real stop loss, the market doesn't like this. It likes clean black and white no gray areas
23) Expecting from markets : Market has no obligation to give you money, give you profits on your bday, kids bday, wife's bday. It doesn't care. Don't expect it to pay for your emi.
24) Buying Systems: buying ready-made blackbox systems that worked on AMibroker and gave me buy /sell signals. Without understanding the logic. I too have similar system now but logic is supreme
25) Paper trading : Paper trading for 3 months and running 100 simulations on opstra and not considering real emotions.
26) Random Advice: Following the advice of random people and starting trading on it. Someone said do calendars started doing them, someone said spreads
27) Not considering Slippages : Slippages can kill you, one day i got huge slippage in SLM order, Another expensive lesson
28) Trading in ILLiquid Options : Trade tvs far otm call. Didnt know it was illiquid. Had to take a loss due to huge spread. Since then mostly trading in NIFTY and Banknifty Options.
29) Not knowing what to do : Once a option became had no idea what to do, how to adjust, should i sell more calls, should i buy a future. What if future ends in loss, Totally disoriented. Make a what if plan in advance.

Why practice is very important in trading.

The mind has limited power,

Can process only limited information at a given time,

Do you agree?

Example below

Find in 1 second all 3 numbers that are missing.

1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 27 28 29 30.

...read on

Was easy?

Shana banta hain!

Now solve next one, i challenge you

Now find 3 numbers that are missing here

3 1 2 5 6 8 9 10 11 13 12 18 16 14 17 20 19 22 21 24 25 26 29 28 30 27, 23 ,15

Lol

Were u able to find 3 missing numbers in 1 second?

Too much information to process in one second!

BTW There are only 2 missing numbers.

😂, I did it purposefully, sorry lets move on

A simple way to trade stocks is to score all the factors you consider important. ( example below)

Also, consider multiple time frames.

Trade-in stocks which are in top of table (bullish) or bottom of the table ( bearish)

An interesting story of Kamala Devi hazarika for all Sanatanis...🙏

A Xtian missionary was sent to Assam for the promotion of religion. His name was Cruz. He came across to one the boys from an influential family in Assam to teach him English.
@noconversion

Cont 👇


The p@stor slowly began to study the house and he learned that the boy's grandmother was the most influential person in the house. So he thought 'Corrupting the grandmother's mind can make the whole family Xtian as well as the whole village.

Cont 👇


The p@stor began to tell Grandma the stories of how J€$u$ cured leprosy of lepers, how He gave sight to the blind, etc..But after listening to him, the strong Sanatani grandmother said. A stone turned into a living woman (Ahalya) for our Rama when he touched the stone.

Cont 👇


She spoke of Rama setu where stones floated in sea just by writing his name on the stones and that they are still floating today.
The p@stor continued his efforts but all his tricks went in vain.

Cont 👇


One day he had brought a cake from the church and he thought of offering it to grandmother but he was doubtful that she would eat it. But contrary to his expectation, she took the cake and ate it.

RISHI PINGALA:THE ANCIENT INDIAN SAGE DISCREDITED FOR HIS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS & PHI

Have you ever heard about,"The Golden Ratio"?
The Golden Ratio or Phi(Greek) is a mathematical ratio of nature. Mother Nature is the most exquisite artist in herself.


&Its this Phi she uses to create all the beauty in World.
If anyone uses this ratio correctly in their art,it can turn into a spell-binding piece of work.Such is the significance of'Phi'.But my thread isn't about it.Its about somethin called'Fibonacci Series'&who actually made it


Phi is related to Fibonacci series(0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...)
&this series is responsible for everything dat is beautiful on this planet. Just try to calculate the ratio of any 2 successive numbers ÷ each of them by the number before it in above infinite series.

E.g. 3/2=1.5, 5/3=1.666, 8/5=1.6, 34/21=1.61904 and so on. Did you notice something? The ratio is coming almost same every time. This ratio is called 'Phi 'which is numerically represented as 1:1.618. This Golden Spiral is made in exact proportion of 1:1.618.


The thing I want to emphasize here is that we always find only those things appealing and attractive that have Phi. It's in our subconscious. Isn't it some revelation? We are the part of this Divine proportion of the God or the Mother Nature. Check these:

A #story from #Thiruvilayadal puranam-one of divine leelas of Bhagwan Shiva

#threadseries #Madurai

Story 16- it is about how Bhagwan Shiva explained the meaning of Vedas to the Rishis.

வேதத்துக்குப் பொருள் அருளிச் செய்த படலம்


Once there was a great deluge,everything in the world was destroyed.All lifeforms that existed got perished.Afterwards ,due to Bhagwan Shiva creation started.Then from Bhagwan Shiv ji's mouth-birth of 🕉 OM- Pranavam happened.From Pranavam,4 vedas appeared. Rishis learned them.

Many Rishis in Naimisharanya learned Vedas&recited them but they didn't understand the meaning&essence of Vedas. They were worried as they couldn't find any guru who can teach them the meaning of Vedas.That time,Rishi Arabhatar visited them.Rishis told him about need their worry.

Rishi Arabhatar told them that Bhagwan Shiva has given Vedas &he would be grateful enough to teach the meaning as well.But for that rishis have to rigorous penance at a sacred place.Also told them to go to Sundareswarar temple in Madurai to do tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy.

Assured them that Dakshinamurthy himself will come & teach them.Rishis proceeded to Madurai & started their tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy sannidhi for almost a year starting from Karthigai month pournami to next year Karthigai month pournami following all rituals..annadan

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

Latest update from @TheBernician

1/19

Hancock, Whitty, Vallance & Ferguson Stand Accused of Pandemic Fraud.

After yet more damning evidence arose last week, further additions had to be made to the court papers, which we are now aiming to lay in the coming week.

2/19

The four defendants will be Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson, each of whom has inextricable and ultimately incriminating connections with Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

3/19

As well as three counts of fraud by false representation and seven counts of fraud by non-disclosure, under sections 2 and 3 of the Fraud Act 2006, we can now also prove that the entire worldwide scamdemic originated on these shores.

4/19

In fact, we can show that, without the dishonest statements and non-disclosures of the four defendants we are initially proceeding against, COVID-1984 would not have transpired.

5/19

Furthermore, the 1st defendant, Matt Hancock, cannot rely upon the defence of Parliamentary Privilege, on the ground that none of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution is capable of preventing parliamentarians from carrying out their lawful business in Parliament.

Important paper from Google on large batch optimization. They do impressively careful experiments measuring # iterations needed to achieve target validation error at various batch sizes. The main "surprise" is the lack of surprises. [thread]

https://t.co/7QIx5CFdfJ


The paper is a good example of lots of elements of good experimental design. They validate their metric by showing lots of variants give consistent results. They tune hyperparamters separately for each condition, check that optimum isn't at the endpoints, and measure sensitivity.

They have separate experiments where the hold fixed # iterations and # epochs, which (as they explain) measure very different things. They avoid confounds, such as batch norm's artificial dependence between batch size and regularization strength.

When the experiments are done carefully enough, the results are remarkably consistent between different datasets and architectures. Qualitatively, MNIST behaves just like ImageNet.

Importantly, they don't find any evidence for a "sharp/flat optima" effect whereby better optimization leads to worse final results. They have a good discussion of experimental artifacts/confounds in past papers where such effects were reported.
