If you want to be the best, you have to be very good at gauging the direction of the market and then betting aggressively.
Practicing this style over a lot of years will give you an edge which will help you compound your account quicker.
The best traders are all directional traders.
We should be investing our time into learning what the best traders are doing.
I have traded with @niki_poojary for the past year, who is an aggressive directional trader.
Here are my 10 learnings trading with her: 🧵
If you want to be the best, you have to be very good at gauging the direction of the market and then betting aggressively.
Practicing this style over a lot of years will give you an edge which will help you compound your account quicker.
Premium-based sellers put an SL of double or triple in the system which has a very high probability of taking your SL.
Irrespective of premium price, just stick to the charts.
A simple understanding of S&R enables you to take trades on levels.
Chart patterns are necessary to understand market trends and to predict further movements, which helps us in deploying our trades accordingly.
Eg: A symmetrical pattern means prices have squeezed a lot and an expansion is soon on the cards.

Entry/Exit triggers can also be determined on the basis few patterns.
She focuses on:
1. Symmetrical Triangles
2. Rectangle breakouts
3. Flag breakouts
4. M or W breakouts
5. Range breakouts
If you want to grow your account faster, you'll be required to take a lot of risks.
Conservative traders may make consistent returns, but not higher returns.
Cont. 👇🏻
Over 50 weeks, he'll win 40 weeks and lose 10 weeks if you take an 80% win rate.
Assuming, winning 40 times gives him 40%, and losing 10 times takes away 10%. (assuming a 1:1 risk-reward)
So, the Net ROC is 30%
Cont. 👇🏻
You're bound to lose a few times over a year.
If one wishes to grow his/her account then it's important to learn to trade aggressively.
One needs to first build a profit cushion by trading conservatively in the initial period.
Once the war chest is built, all you are doing is staking the profit money, so that your capital is intact.
Earlier whenever I used to go long in futures, I never used to keep any SL as those were blue-chip stocks.
Instead, I used to sell CE's against my positions.
I used to end up holding them for at least 2 to 3 months and see huge red mtms.
SL helps psychologically.
Post trading on patterns, it's simply a target or SL.
So you get to know whether you are right/wrong pretty quickly.
Better to know early if it's wrong as you can bet elsewhere without getting stuck in a trade that isn't giving you returns.
The decay is extremely fast on an expiry day.
If you get your bet right on this day, you can potentially make very good money.
We take more risk on expiry days compared to other days.
Even next year, we will be focusing on expiry days the most.
Weekly analysis helps in determining a range and helps us to gauge the strikes which have a high probability of expiry OTMs.
Accordingly, our trading blueprint is formed.
Without such weekly plans, we would just be selling CE's or PE's randomly.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.

The big turning point in my trading came when I made a decision and vowed to NEVER EVER let a loss exceed 8%. During the next 5 years I averaged 220% per year for a total compounded return of 33,500%. It's been 28 years since and I have never broken that discipline not even once!

Key early decisions to make for your trading
A few key decisions early in my trading career and my financial life completely changed for the better in just a few years.
— Mark Minervini (@markminervini) June 13, 2021
1. No big losses
2. No averaging down
3. No chasing extended stocks
4. No giving back decent profits
5. Always get odds on my money
Never listen to
Only losers discourage dreamers. Only those who never achieved big things discourage those attempting to achieve big things. Only those who think small discourage those who think big. Never believe discourages. The have no credibility! Believe winners. Believe in YOU! \U0001f447 pic.twitter.com/JdAhRy3lRJ

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
