A 17 point summary on my 2000+ days as a trader:

Wont take more than 10 minutes ! 🧵

 1. Market cycles
Market Always moves in a cyclical way, supply and demand is basic principle for any cycle that involves money. Crack it you’ll be way ahead of the curve.
2. History rhymes
Always remember that history wont repeat but will surely rhyme - go and see all major falls and all major rises. Core principles are same, triggers are variable.
3. Time > Timing
Many people say that timing the mkt is very essential but according to me the more time you spend the more you get to know about mkt that jo course will teach you.
4. Survival
If you manage to survive for the next 3650 days in the market - trust me for the fact that you will definitely be a part of one commodity one bull and bear mkt. Its more valuable than any 1L INR course.
5. Essentiality of Money
Essentiality of Money is the vital point that no one talks about. Many talk about struggles in life but not many talk that in market only money will make you money
6. Life traits
Life traits are another aspect that is unheard. If you are a disciplined and sorted out in life you are better to succeed here as your thoughts are neutral and you accept your mistakes with humility.
7. Temperament
One here needs to have a crazy amount of composure and temperament. Without these 2 you will not make money - it won’t matter if you have 5000 or 5000 crore, if you don’t know how to handle DD you’re dead.
8. Risk management
Risk management is a very talked about subject hence not emphasizing here but with this you aren’t trading - youre just gambling.
9. View on Algos
Over the time market participants become fan of algos - in my 6 years Of little experience I’ve seen that over a period of time over exploitation or a strategy getting too crowded loses it’s edge. I’m a discretionary trader hence i can be biased.
10. Neutral vs Directional
Doesn’t matter whether the strategy is neutral or directional. Many asked me what is your style - i always reply i dont have a style, i trade what i see.
11. Beginners luck
In your initial months of trading and making money make sure that you give this aspect an overlook as someone market can be irrational for years and your couple of months success will make sure you’re kicked out easily.
12. Scalability
Always remember making 1cr to 10cr can be easy but making 100cr to 1000cr is pretty difficult as it’s all about scalability. Always remember less returns but more scalable model will always work in longer run than high return less scalable.
13. Glamour
In the Era of twitter you might see 20Yo claiming to make lacs per month, don’t worry it’s all about staying in the game for long. 8 year’s down the line you will see these getting out of the mkt and new set of kids coming in sharing their MTM journey.
14.Validation
As a trader you dont need social validation. If you are making 10k and someone else is making 20L that doesn’t imply that youre not a better trader. Its just about time and tested patience. Everybody starts from some where - stay there youll be there one day.
15. Training
Webinars are the most dissed about thing in India. Ask yourself- the one trolling people for taking webinar - are they actually teaching you anything ? Did you learn anything ?
Yes majority of this industry is fraud but if you don’t try you wont get your mentor
16. A good trader can be a good trainer, and vice versa. Keep aside the bias and one day you’ll end up getting the best and the last mentor.
17. Finally as a trader all i will say is no matter how much ever you scale through trading - you practically will not be able to beat returns of an ace investment thesis.
Keep both hand in hand - trader and systematically invest and stay in the market.
Happy trading happy learning ♥️

#Darvas #Box is a simple and interesting strategy used by the trader. It is a momentum strategy with no technical indicators.

This learning thread would be on "Darvas Box Strategy"

Like and Retweet for wider reach and for more learning thread in the future.

@AmitabhJha3

1/11


Darvas Box is named after Nicolas Darvas, who was a dancer and self-taught investor.

He discovered "Box Theory" after gaining experience from the market and he believed that the shares which move up and down the chart move in a specific box pattern.

2/11


There are some condition to use Darvas Box and we will discuss only buy strategy:

1. Stock should be trading near all time high levels
2. Fundamentals of the company should be good
3. Volumes play a crucial role

Prefer to use it daily time frame and above.

3/11

When the price is near all time high levels, if price consolidates then there is a range or box formed having a upside ceiling and downside floor. Price consolidates in this range before breakout.

Volumes during breakout is very important and it should be high.

4/11

Let's see some example now.

Dmart was trading in a range of 1955-2438 for six months.
After breaking this range upside, DMart price rallied from 2500 to 3200+ (Rally of 28% in 3 months).

During breakout volumes should rise and it should spike up.

Trading on chart patterns is difficult, Until you read this ! ⚡️

Everything about Head and Shoulder Pattern

Free Technical Analysis course (4/10) 🧵

A head and shoulders (H&S) pattern is a chart pattern of three peaks, where the outer two are close in height, and the middle is the highest.

It is one of several top patterns that signal an upward trend is nearing its end.


How do we trade the H&S pattern?

We find out stock that has the pattern but has not given a breakdown below the support or neckline which means it is in the formation of the right shoulder.

Generally, we track the stock just before the breakout so that we don't miss a big move.

What does this mean?

Basically, we look out for the charts where the price is forming the right shoulder or consolidating just above the neckline.

As seen in the chart where the price was in consolidation just above the resistance before the breakdown and big downmove.


Now the most important question is how we trade this pattern?

1. First identify stocks that are forming the H&S pattern and are about to give a breakdown.
2. Stoploss would be the nearest swing high or right shoulder high.

The amount of time you spend in the market trading/investing will always give you more insights than reading 100s of books

If you treat markets as a sole income generator, your chances of underperformance due to compulsion of income generation will always be higher !

4-5% a month is always better than chasing unlimited downside risk strategies that promise you 40-50%

Your chances of making money in a stock sitting near 52wk high will always be more than a stock sitting at 52wk low

Many of you have seen the famous Westrum Organizational Typology model, so prominently featured in State of DevOps Research, Accelerate, DevOps Handbook, etc.

This model was created Dr. Ron Westrum, a widely-cited sociologist who studied the impact of culture on safety


Thanks to Dr. @nicolefv, I was able to interview him for an upcoming episode of the Idealcast! 🤯

It was a very heady experience, and while preparing to interview him, I was startled to discover how much work he's done in healthcare, aviation, spaceflight, but also innovation.

I've read 4+ of his papers, so I thought I was familiar with his work. (Here's one paper: https://t.co/7X00O67VgS)

I was startled to learn he has also studied in depth what enables innovation. He wrote a wonderful book "Sidewinder: Creative Missile Development at China Lake"


Dr. Westrum writes about China Lake Research Labs: "its design and structure had one purpose: to foster technical creativity. It did; China Lake operated far outside the normal envelope... Sidewinder & others were "impossible" accomplishments,

I love this book because it describes traits of organizations that routinely create and maintain greatness: US space program (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo), US Naval Reactors, Toyota, Team of Teams, Tesla, the tech giants (Amazon, Google, Netflix, Google)

FEAR - It’s the re-experience of failure in advance.

Many traders face the issue of Not entering in trades because of fear.

A thread on How to pull the trigger when the opportunity knocks.


Lets First start from knowing the cause of this "FEAR" of pulling the trigger.

A traders goes through many phases before becoming Profitable.

The first phase is the " APUN HI BHAGWAN HAI" phase-

When we first begin Trading, we don’t know any concepts, we don’t know about the risks , the dangers.

So we start trading, and like most guys by beginners luck we start making good, we start to calculate how much money we will make in next 1yr, 5 yrs, Greed start to Hop in.


We get introduced to Various instruments, F&O, LEVERAGE.

We take big positions as we don’t have any FEAR cause we haven't seen those bad phases yet.

Now we get the Big blow, account down -50%, or in many cases wiped out.

The first phase ends here.


Now we know How the market can kick our ass, we now know the risk that comes with those big positions.

"THE LEARNING PHASE"-

Now we know that we were just lucky initially and now we have to learn why we get those losses, so we start learning concepts , fundamental, Technicals.

"A trend once established, is more likely to continue than it is to reverse"

A thread on Trend (Market structure)-


A trend is a path of least resistance, basically the side where the smart money is betting upon.

And our work is to be on their side, to make some money.

Why do we use trend?

In an uptrend, the sum of the rallies will always be greater than the sum of the declines.

In a downtrend, the sum of the declines will always be greater than the sum of the rallies.

How to Find the trend?

There are 3 methods which one can use-

1. Swing points method.
2. Moving averages.
3. Trend lines, channels.

1. Trend identification by using swing points-

• UPTREND in simple words - Higher highs, higher lows

• DOWNTREND in simple words - lower lows, lower highs.


• Flat trend - The price stays in a range

In my 20 years of trading I have noticed this cycle play out again and again with traders that "make it":

1. Overconfidently reach for returns
2. Get humbled by the market
3. Simplify + concentrate on clear, high probability edges.

1/n

Nearly everyone starts with a lack of respect for how hard it is to consistently make money trading.

That leads them to pass over high-probability sources of returns in favor of more marginal ideas.

Or they overcomplicate the trading of a good edge.

2/n

Here's an example...

It is 2015. You look at a simple strategy.

You hold an equal dollar exposure to:
- Cap Weighted US Stocks (VTI)
- 20+ Yr US Treasury Bonds (TLT)
- Gold (GLD)

And rebalance each month.

(I've extended back a bit with mutual fund prices.)

3/n


It made money consistently with a few blips.

You'd have 4x your money from 1997 to 2015.

It makes sense. It's harnessing two big sources of risk premia (equity + duration).

It diversifies across 3 macro assets that tend to outperform in different econ environments

4/n

But, naturally, you turn your mind to how you could do better...

And here is where it gets dangerous!

There are good ways to try to "do better", and there are bad ways to try to "do better".

How position sizing can affect your trading performance-

Assuming that you are trading a Trend-following system with Big RR and low win-rate.

For example, assume that you risk one percent per trade on a 100,000 account
and you have 20 straight losses.

That one percent is of your remaining equity and at the end of 20 losses, you would be down to 81,790.60.

Now if you got a 30R winner and you are risking one percent of your balance of 81,790.60, your new equity would be 106,327.9,


You’ve had 20 losses and one winner though you are still up 10Rplus your equity is up by 6.3R percent.

Now, let’s say you risk five percent per trade on your balance. At the end of 20 straight losses, you would be down to 35,772.89 or down 64 percent.


If you risk five percent on this amount and get a 30R winner, you would be up to 89,621.48. You are up 10R, but because of your position sizing, your equity is still down over 10 percent.

#positionsizing
#Trading
#nifty50

This is why position sizing is the most important factor in trading if you get it right and you have an edge, you will do good.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND YAJNA

Fire is, of course, one of the greatest discovery of mankind. Our control over the fire dramatically changed the entire human habits; earlier it was used to cook food, protection from animals and to stay warm.


Among the many applications of fire, one is Yajna (यज्ञ, yajña); also called as Havana (हवन) or Agnihotra (अग्निहोत्र).
Yajna is elaborately described in Yajurveda. In Yajurveda, Yajna is the greatest among all works (Karman). One can purify his /her soul by performing Yajna.

In Vedic culture, it is thought that the holy fire is the mediator between Gods and us; when the offerings are made to Yajna with chanting mantras, it directly reaches the Gods, who bless the people with rains, food, health, and good luck.

According to Apastamba Sutra, the definition of Yajna is Vedic sacrifice; an act by which we surrender something for gods e.g. grains (Anna), pulse, milk and milk product (ghee, butter, curd) fruits, plant juice (soma), etc.

As we said; Yajna is the contact medium for gods and

to seek their blessings.

There are many types of Yajna performed by Hindus for e.g.,

1. Rajsuya Yajna
2. Ashwamedha Yajna
3. Chaaturmasya Yajna
4. Vaajpey Yajna
5. Purushmedha Yajna
6. Sarvamedha Yajna

1) Core attributes of a promising founder worth following:
- Progress/trajectory over time
- How well they lead a team &
- Make the vision happen
- Most impressed when someone is way ahead of where you thought they would be when you check up/see them a few months later.

2) Indie Makers have such a benefit of being small, fast, nimble workers in comparison to big companies.

We can easily pivot and vastly change a project of ours. We can change as we learn more about our users.

Big companies can take months/years for even the smallest of pivots.

3) Before you find a product market you can pivot your project as many times as necessary until you find something that works.

Then you only have one thing to do: scale, scale, scale.

4) Be obsessed with the little details.
- listen to every single person who uses your product
- reply to every single person who emails you about your product
- ask them what they like and do not like
- iterate your product, make changes, pivot if necessary

5) Paul Graham's (@paulg) name came up with a feeling of great admiration! Naturally! It was Paul who said:

In the early stages of a company just;
- write code
- talk/sell to customers to stress test your idea

Nothing else.

MAHARAJA CHHATRASAL BUNDELA was the great Bundela King who revolted against the Mughal ruler Aurangzeb.
Chhatrasal Bundela was born in year 1649 CE in Maur Hill of Bundela region to Champat Rai and Lal Kunwar. He was the descendent of Rudra Pratap of Orchha.


His ancesters were the vassals of Mughal Emperor. He drew inspiration from his father and revolted against the alien rule of Mughals. He was just 12 yrs old when his parents died in fight against the Mughal Army of Aurangzeb in 1661.

When his beloved father attained martyrdom in the year 166, the young Chatrasal was present in the last battle of his father against the Mughal and from these valiant campaigns,..

..he gathered the courage to free Bundelkhand from Aurangzeb’s rule.
He joined the Mughals initially, and was recommended by the Rajput King Mirza Jai Singh to be recruited in the Mughal Army in order to support their Deccan Campaigns.


But serving the alien rule of Mughals which brought chaos and misery to Bundelkhand was unacceptable for Chatrasal Bundela and his father’s incessant struggle against the Mughals kept the fire of independent Bundelkhand alive in his heart.

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.


Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.


Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.


Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.
