How to get rich trading (without getting lucky)
Complete beginner’s guide to wealth of Rs 10 Cr in 10 years
Step 1: start trading live
1/n
No amount of back-test, studies or indicators can substitute training your mind with screen time
As a beginner, In live trading, you will make losses almost everyday
2/n
If you can’t follow these rules, this document is not for you
Start with trading capital of Rs 1 lakhs
Max loss per trade 0.25%, i.e. 250 Rs
Max loss for the day, 1%, i.e. Rs 1000
Max 6 trades in a day
3/n
But just like any start up, trading is also about making it through initial gruelling constraints of life
You will also learn, how to turn these adverse rules to your advantage
4/n
Think about it, you will be do all kinds of instruments, just that PNL will not be roller coaster ride or exciting like a casino
5/n
Do any kind of trade, your mind takes you to, except blind tips from tv of TG
Trend-following, option selling or buying, all kinds.
6/n
But above conditions of capital 1 lakhs, max loss per trade 250 Rs, can't emphasise enough
Its non-negotiable, IRON clad
7/n
how market behaved, what was new that you learned, you have to write everyday for 1 hr.
Again cant emphasis enough how non-negotiable this is.
8/n
You should not blindly trust anyone in your journey, but here I am asking you to take a leap of faith
9/n
In one year, you will be ready with one
system/method/algo or discretionary method like price action or indicator, which will be steady,
will suit your temperament and your inner voice will ask you to focus on this one set up
10/n
Everyone who tries 1000 trades with limited loss will discover one good system.
No seminar or software or anything paid needed.
11/n
In your 1 year, 1000 trades, your accuracy will be around 25% and you will almost always be under drawdown
that’s expected from a beginner.
You will get very good psychological conditioning on drawdown
12/n
You might have winning streak and you might be profitable as well,
but here we are talking about trading with-out extraordinary talent or luck
13/n
Trading Capital:
As 10 yrs, 10 Cr is audacious goal, so you have to give everything you have got
It helps if you have another job. Much needed psychological comfort
If you don’t have another job, you have to have “multiple sources of income”
14/n
Goal, Rs 10 lakhs of trading capital you have to earn in one year.
Looks difficult, but if you plan and execute, from youtube content to affiliate marketing, so many ways to side business
15/n
But you cant trade with borrowed capital,
so you have to earn your initial kitty
Again, cant emphasise enough,
this entire plan cant work on borrowed capital. Entire psychology changes and plan doesn’t work
16/n
After one year, you have 1 solid method /system /algo or discretionary method and Rs 10 lakhs of your hard earned money
Now, new rules
You have to stick to this one set up/algo method for next 4 years which you have discovered
17/n
Now the discipline is to stick to your initial chosen set up for next 4 yrs without trying anything new or exciting
18/n
Reason,
mastering one set up, ironing out all exceptional cases, making super money on easy cases takes lot of experience on single set up.
Focus at this stage is paramount
19/n
1-2 yrs are so easy that one makes
unbelievable money, market just favours that set up.
e.g. 2020, it was set up for trend following.
20/n
in next 4 years, one year, you will make unbelievable money
and that will be the story in your moneycontrol interview
21/n
You have to increase risk to this level, unless you bet big, u don’t win big
In this phase, on simple set ups, 100% returns are very common
50-60% returns are average
22/n
As you are on winning streak, you cant take out money from your trading account
That SUV you wanted to buy, has to wait. Higher the capital, better for psychology and compounding
23/n
That’s why I emphasised on many sources of income earlier
Assuming an average returns of 70-80% per years for 4 years, you will grow account from 10 lakhs to 1 Cr in 4 years.
24/n
25/n
Now you have traded for 5 years total and have a trading capital of 1 Cr.
Actually, path is easier from here.
26/n
As you are handling this kind of money for the first time, any double digit DD will destabilize you
So non correlated strategies will help
27/n
Only thing you have to consciously decide here is, press the risk accelerator to 2%, don’t be intimidated by big PNL swings and no less than 2% on a trade
29/n
That 50% per annum compounded will take you from 1 Cr to 10 Cr
Now you are free to take out money from your trading account.
30/n

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x
The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x
Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x
The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x
It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
As someone\u2019s who\u2019s read the book, this review strikes me as tremendously unfair. It mostly faults Adler for not writing the book the reviewer wishes he had! https://t.co/pqpt5Ziivj
