I have watched lot of movies but only few movies would change your perspective towards life, here’s the 10 movies that really changed my mindset

1.The Theory of Everything

Brilliant acting , truly mesmerising portrayal on life of Stephen Hawking, never felt bored even for a sec

2. Rush - it’s a film about F1 racer James Hunt & Nikki Lauda, excellent narration and incredible acting. The dialogues were truly masterpiece and it’s still stays in mind even after 9 years
3. The Founder - This movie released at the right time in my life, when I was about to quit my job and focus full time on my startup. This movie is all about single man Ray Kroc who built a billion dollar empire McDonalds. This is the best entrepreneurship movie ever made.
4. The Imitation Game - I watched this movie when I started my rule based trading journey in 2014, struggled a lot during my initial phase with code, unable to get any breakthrough, this film gave my that ray of hope. It’s about a mathematician who broke the code n won the war
5. The Pursuit of Happyness - any favourite Movie list would be incomplete without this movie. Will Smith, damn what an actor he is. I watched this movie when I was in college days, still remember the day, I was crying non stop during the interview scene. Brilliant film.
6. Whiplash - Watched this movie one fine day when I was working in Night shift after finishing my work early. It’s about a mentor student relationship where the student aspire to become best musician, learning’s from this movie is so immense for me.
7. The Fight club - Seeing the title I thought it’s an action film n watched it, then realised it’s about a person who literally hates his current lifestyle who can’t even have a sound sleep, what he does to change his life. This movie made me realise tons of mistakes I was doing
8. Up - When it comes to animation movies, nobody can beat Pixar. I guess this is the only film where I became very emotional watching an animated movie. This movie has so much of soul in it. This is definitely a must watch.
9. The Shawshank Redemption - This movie is all about HOPE. First time I watched it in 2006 when I was in college, did not like it much other than the climax but when I watched it second time later on I could realise there’s lot more than the mere climax. Brilliant film.
10. Cast Away - Ah man, last but not the least, how can just one man throughout the movie keep you hooked for 2hours, this movie is all about Survival. I watched it when I was staying alone in Banglore during my infosys days. There’s a scene with his Wilson, damn that was🔥
Movies and Books are two things which has made tremendous impact on my life, am a kind of person who do not watch movies just for time pass. These movies have subconsciously implemented many learning’s in my life. I believe Cinema is truly an art form that needs be appreciated.

If you are someone who spends more time on analyzing markets during trading, then this for you. Certain traders will create their own bullish or bearish view in their mind but seek confirmation for their trades which is called as confirmation bias. #tradingpsychology 1/15


We do not like people or information that contradicts our thoughts. We like them when they confirm what we think. Hence, we tend to place more weight on information that confirms our trade position. Example- You think market is bullish & wanted to go on a long position,

Next a new bullish bar prints on the chart. You would think "Yes, my bullish proposition is still valid" (even though this bullish bar is smaller range)

A bearish bar prints. But you think "this bar lacks momentum" (because you already have firm belief that market is bullish)

One more bearish bar follows, pushing against a support level. But you would think "the support level is holding" Bullishness confirmed. Buy more! (even though this bar closed below the support level with clear momentum.)
