Trading Mistakes & Lessons Learnt 🧵
1) I always keep my mistakes & lessons learnt in front of my screen while trading.
Bcz we as traders tend to commit the same mistakes everytime.
So seeing your learnt lessons everyday ensures that you avoid them.

I accepted that I am not great at stock trading & been trading index only majorly since then & have never missed a day trading BankNifty
I would have had a gain of more than 230 % if I had capped losses at 1% of cap.
Lesson: Keep losses per trade less than 1% of capital no matter what !
Lesson: Never take markets lightly & Always keep protective stops in the system (and not in your mind) to keep loss in control in case of blackswan.
So many times I have wasted 1 or 2 weeks just to close a loss making trade at cost😢
Lesson: I do manage now but exit as soon sold options become ITM or 2 x in value.
So always always manage risk especially while selling options.
Eg. Corporate tax rate cut day, demontisation, surgical strike, 2020 fall etc were brutal moves & if not managed properly can take years of profits.
Luckily I had only 1 lot but learnt a good lesson
Lesson : Always hedge your overnight position
I had a position in Yesbank but it opened 10% gapdown next day but I got saved as position was completely hedged.
Lesson: Learn from your mistakes,note them in journal & never repeat it again!
Inspite of knowing that I shouldn’t commit them.
Bcz we as humans tend behave in a certain manner everytime.
So , it’s best to keep your lessons/mistakes hand written in front of you and read everyday before trading.
Lesson :
Never get complacement & always remember that market is supreme🙏
So stay humble always !
Was it my fault ?
Did Market conditions change?
How I felt during the drawdown ?
What could I have done better ?
Lesson :
All this gives you the confidence to sail your next drawdown smoothly.

A Day in the Life of a Trader (A day in my Life)
1) I absolutely love my work❤️! In fact, I grew up dreaming to be a trader. So trading, to me, doesn’t feel like working (except when I lose😂).
It’s fascinating because it’s different every day.
#trading #life
2)7:30 AM : Alarm Rings
A typical week day for me begins at 7:30 AM.
I spend the next 30 minutes on my daily chores — get ready for office, grab a quick breakfast & have a hot cuppa coffee.
3) 8:00 AM : Leave for office
On my way to office, I check what happened at the Wallstreet overnight & how are Asian markets performing.
I then look for any macro news that may affect overnight positions
P.S: We are moving to a new bigger office & will share pics of that soon
4) 9 AM - Connect with Trade Room members
I connect with trade room members on zoom & share my plan for the day, stocks to keep in radar & how to play the index & which option strategies to execute

5) 9:07 - Pre Opening session
I keenly observe the pre-opening to get a general sense of where the market is it likely to open. At 9:07 AM, the pre-opening prices are out. I make a note of stocks opening with a big gap up or gap down and keep them on my watchlist.

History tells us when #USDINR moves it moves a lot. In that context it has been remarkably resilient with just 8% depreciation. It looks like we are very close to the point from where Rupee will start to appreciating again.
BTW Nifty Metal has inverse correlation with USDINR. https://t.co/X6cqVcYF3V

We know how our stock market has weathered the FII selling.

But the equally big story is how Rupee has weathered $50bn+ outflows since Oct 2021. Hats off to RBI Governor Das & his team for having the vision of building huge reserves in his tenure. pic.twitter.com/CVuF9dM361

BREAKING: @CommonsCMS @DamianCollins just released previously sealed #Six4Three @Facebook documents:
Some random interesting tidbits:
1) Zuck approves shutting down platform API access for Twitter's when Vine is released #competition
2) Facebook engineered ways to access user's call history w/o alerting users:
Team considered access to call history considered 'high PR risk' but 'growth team will charge ahead'. @Facebook created upgrade path to access data w/o subjecting users to Android permissions dialogue.
3) The above also confirms @kashhill and other's suspicion that call history was used to improve PYMK (People You May Know) suggestions and newsfeed rankings.
4) Docs also shed more light into @dseetharaman's story on @Facebook monitoring users' @Onavo VPN activity to determine what competitors to mimic or acquire in 2013.

A THREAD ON @SarangSood
Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.
Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen
1. Keeps following volatility super closely.
Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.
Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.
2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.
3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result
He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.
4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega
Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.

I am quite different from your style. I follow the market's volatility very closely. I have mock positions in 7-8 different strategies which allows me to stay connected. Whichever gives best profit is usually the one i trade in.

Anilji most of the time these days Theta only falls when market moves. So the Theta actually falls where market has moved to, not where our position was in the first place. By shifting we can come close to capturing the Theta fall but not always.

This week has been great so far. The main aim is to be in the right side of the volatility, rest the market will reward.

There is a difference between theta decay & fall in vega. Decay is certain but there is no guaranteed profit as delta moves can increase cost. Fall in vega on the other hand is backed by a powerful force that sells options and gives handsome returns. Our job is to identify them.
