2019, till May 02, was ok. On that day, by around noon time, I got the biggest shock of my life - I lost my mother in my arms. I'm yet to get over it, but God of my faith and belief, has managed to pull me through, so far. The rest of the year, it was focused on rituals, and so.

#Year2020_ it taught me a few things; that spiritual growth is a necessity and not issue based; it increased my values of belief, faith and understanding of God of my understanding, belief and faith. It also taught me ,he walks with me and carries me when I'm tired. Therefore I'm

not afraid of him. Prayers were answered , the pandemic helped me kick the nicotine addiction, oh, I'll deny the urge creeps up once in a while, but it kills itself. After my mother passed away ,I felt so alone, not lonely, but alone, and God through pandemic made me understand

Values. Values of and for things, people and above the necessity of learning to live, with what's available and not search beyond; the fascination for reading caught up with me, and I did take up serious reading. Kept myself abreast of what I needed to know but never found time

to ensure that. People were helpful and caring and loving. The little relaxation of the lockdown, had me visiting temples, and, surprisingly , found people wanting me there too,the unknown became known. Doors opened out, debris flushed out,I got into serious attempts of

#Suryanamaskar, every Sunday, without fail, more concentration and focus on Nithya parayanam, thanks to RAJAN, took up reading DEVI BAGAVATHAM, and boy it opened my eyes to a lot. To begin with, I stopped looking at anything only from my perspective. Secondly it taught me to very

I've a funny feeling that AIADMK (in its wisdom!!! - whatever that means,) are quite to protect their hard earned property plus. DMK is capable of venom and let's be honest MKS is no match to late MK. Similar hassles within the family , infact, peeked when he was around - however

he never allowed bureaucrats to be minions in public. He was a cunning and shrewd operator,indeed. He had control over issues , this was a period when SM never existed. Getting back to AIADMK, they're aware that now BJP has found its teeth and must be praying for a pitfall. It

may not happen from the top; the 2nd and 3rd rung of the supporters need to watch their tweets/what may be attributed or interpreted. That could cause the cycle of legal formalities a headache , as the existing team is small and need to find their feet in courtrooms , especially

in the districts - DMK has never been bothered who they smother ,if it suits them - whether it's the judges and magistrates / law enforcement officers and bureaucracy. They are past masters at that.. I don't think that @annamalai_k would've taken on the DGP of TN, head-on, if he

did not have inputs of frustration among the ranked officers. Now that they've clamped a 2nd case against @MaridhasAnswers , personally I feel it's time that Paul Kanaka Raj gets into the picture directly (hoping he's still with BJP TN); he has a bright team and they're well

@rspchary @lalitha_jr @wataboutery you may like this :- @PrashantKishor - just do a little comparative look into his stand on West Bengal and TN:
- he began WB in all earnest and assured that it's Didi all the way back to power;
- he modified this by stating BJP will get less

less than double digits , which he again modified , that he will quit politics if BJP manages to obtain 💯,and, last week he still maintained this stance, but privately he's supposed to have admitted that it's difficult for Didi , including Nandigram(here I think he may be wrong)

I'm not willing to accept the twitter tamasha of the supposed club 🏠 meeting ,he's not that stupid. Now let's look at TN:-
- in all earnest, he began well..his starting error was his monumental ego in undermining Sunil;
- the campaign was well planned , but the execution was

haywire as the man who carried the message was a dud , MKS is nowhere when it comes to presentation skills,& most elections are narratives; even a well planned narrative can become s bomb and here MKS made a series of explosions and poor PK was diffusing the bombs ,rather than

change strategy;
- his second fault was to ignore the old timers in DMK - the truth is even MK never made that mistake ; check history and you'll agree. Added to this was his lieutenants abuse of power and this alienated the cadre.
- now look at his narratives here in TN too

I first met her in Coimbatore,when she was doing the film , ஆயிரத்தில் ஒருவன் with the late MGR. She had come down for a dance recital , & was put up in hotel Alankar which was supposedly the best , those times ; the meeting was brief and as I grew up the charm changed to others

2. she was on her way up as Star; it must've been nearly 4 to 5 years, the editor of our college magazine wanted me to do an article on her, (by that time she was known as s gutsy person, no holds barred); I was rather taken aback when she recollected our earlier meet and then

4. All went smooth. I was in touch with her on and off and I was never into the movies , as I disliked their debauchery and multi faceted life style , however I was in touch with late Nagesh, JaiShankar, and a couple of others. It was fun being with them and I was elevated from

3. my favourite E stand at chepauk to pavilion terrace as Nagesh was a member and one ticket was for me always. She went into politics and our contact was lesser, except when she took a daring stand on the subject of Lord Rama: quote " சிலரை போல், நான் இல்லை. எனக்கு ராமர் கடவுள்

5. அவர் எனக்கு எப்போதும் வேண்டும் ". This was a dig at BJP who had at that period were playing low key on RJB. I was just out of the leftist clutches and this took me by surprise. She was a member of the RS, by then. I wrote a letter , appreciating her and it was responded to

- Costly export health certificates for fishery products
- Inbound and outbound customs and regulatory checks (UK side will defer some of these temporarily)

- Stringent rules of origin and local content requirements
- Loss of freedom of movement for UK citizens in the EU and EU citizens in the UK (Ireland excepted)
- No Erasmus programme
- No equivalence decision for financial services

- A border down the Irish sea between NI & GB
- No access to the Galileo military
- Temporary agreement on data, which expires in 6 months
- 2 parallel trademark systems, requiring firms to file twice in the UK and the EU

- 2 parallel product conformity assessment systems (CE and UKCA), requiring firms to file twice in the UK and the EU. One year grace period (with exceptions).

If u are looking to enter a scrip just before the breakout
what would u look for?
How would u identify scrips just before breakout?

Here are a few pointers
Carefully understand the them and use at ur own discretion
(All comments r compiled from a question i posed)

1/23

Price is testing the same resistance repeatedly since long.
But now in recent times it's forming multiple candles near the same resistance with low volume.
Observe it and see for opposite move.
As soon as u get a positive candle, get in to it.

2/23

1. Volume buildup (vol > when resistance point created) along with, increase in OI, increase in delivery % on HTF
2. On LTF, price stalling around breakout area for at least 1-2hr.
3. No major events.

3/23

Stock reaching breakout LVL with HL-HH
Contraction of price and volume near it especially near 20 days ma.
If there is any breach of the latest HL it should be followed by a bullish candle with good volume.
Left side of the chart has a rally with a very steep slope of ma.

4/23

Number of wide range green bars with high volumes.
If stock is at its ATH then it adds more conviction bcz there wont b supply after that point

Consolidation below the resistance, volume of the candles & strong bullish candle closing at near highs just below the resistance

5/23

10 truths I wish I knew when I started trading:

Trading always was, is, and will always be a game against yourself. Nobody can make it happen for you, and there’s nobody to beat.

Your only chance of winning is to practice being a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday.

/1

Traders waste so much energy lamenting on "I missed this" - if all that energy was spent on fixing a problem they just identified — many of them would be better off than they are today.

Be a good problem solver, not a complainer. That negative energy is no bueno.

/2

Performance is a byproduct of position sizing.

Position Sizing stems from conviction.

Conviction is built by doing deep dives and studying specific setups in the markets, especially ones that tap into its structural tendencies consistently.

/3

Have a few setups you know really really well.

I have hundreds of examples on each, done deep dives & can trade them when I see them instinctively.

You have to know exactly what ur looking for…so u can repeatedly execute those setups & make them sources of income.

Thread on 'no stop loss', 'adjustments' and 'Risk'
----------------------------------------------------

Wanted to share my thoughts on this topic for a long time but this email sent by someone yday woke me up from slumber

Pls read the email 1st before delving into thread

(1/n)

In the past 1-2 years, there has been a sudden surge of traders who just talk about theta decay, option selling, adjustments and stuff like that..

It is all fair as long as the trader knows what he's doing. But the reality is far from what we see/perceive...

(2/n)

Many of these folks were told that one can 'adjust' their way out of any situation. Any sane options trader know that you cannot come out of any situation by adjustment

One of my friend used to do that(he is famous in options selling desi fintwit) for a long time until..

(3/n)

..he realized that one cannot possibly do that and its gonna burn him one day. He's pretty smart and hence, he put a portfolio level SL & when that hits, he will stop dancing, gets out and calls it a day

So, risk is managed at account level and he is quite clear about it

(4/n)

Unfortunately, 1000s of traders who does option selling(with adjustment) dont have this risk mgmt in place.

They think (i dont know if i had to call it false confidence or ignorance) their skills in 'adjusting' will take them ashore 😅
