12 Rules for Professional Positional Traders:

THREAD: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

Rule 1:

"Trade with a stop loss of 2% on your capital for the week."

If you're losing more than 2%, chances are your reading of the market is wrong. The best would be to call it quits for that week.

(1/N)
Rule 2:

" Don't trade in the first 10 mins of any day"

Every day, there is far too much noise in the first few minutes. Positional traders should avoid some time in order to avoid being butchered right away.

(2/N)
Rule 3:

" Wait for candle closings in your timeframe"

Beware of wicks. They are buyer/seller traps. Rather wait for a good candle to close above your support/resistance to open/close a trade.

(3/N)
Rule 4:

" Don't lose more than 10% of your capital in a big gap"

The day I experienced the greatest Mtm loss to my capital was February 24. The figure was -47 lakhs. It was around 10% of my capital. Losing much more would set me back several months.

(4/N)
Rule 5:

" Avoid taking leverage if you have not made at least 30% ROI on your capital."

Strictly avoid using leverage if you are not profitable for a few months. It will magnify both your wins and losses. So loss-making traders should definitely avoid leverage.

(5/N)
Rule 6:

"Develop different systems to trade different scenarios."

Buying markets are different from selling markets. Build setups to trade these environments differently.

(6/N)
Rule 7:

"Learn Chart patterns"

Patterns keep repeating throughout the stock market. Some are very powerful. For example, the rectangle pattern. Always bet on your favorite patterns.

(7/N)
Rule 8:

"Don't do too many adjustments."

The biggest myth for option sellers is that they can "adjust" any trade/situation. It is completely false. It is preferable to either take profit or stop loss.

(8/N)
Rule 9:

" Deploy your capital slowly"

Don't enter all at once. Deploy additional capital only if you are winning.

(9/N)
Rule 10:

"Don't take leverage before an event."

We used leverage during the daily Russia news cycles because we believed the premiums were favorable. We stopped using leverage during events after that event because the MTM swing was too large.

(10/N)
These were the rules that both @niki_poojary and I tried to use in our own trading.

Sticking to these has tremendously helped us scale up and increase our returns.
That's a wrap!

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!
