A “razor” is a rule of thumb that simplifies decision making.

The most powerful razors I’ve found:

The Feynman Razor

Complexity and jargon are used to mask a lack of deep understanding.

If you can’t explain it to a 5-year-old, you don’t really understand it.

If someone uses a lot of complexity and jargon to explain something, they probably don’t understand it.

The Luck Razor

When choosing between two paths, choose the path that has a larger luck surface area.

Your actions put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.

It’s hard to get lucky watching TV at home—it’s easy to get lucky when you’re engaging and learning.

The Arena Razor

When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena.

It's easy to throw rocks from the sidelines.

It's scary and lonely in the arena—but it's where growth happens.

Once you're in the arena, never take advice from people on the sidelines.

The Optimist Razor

When choosing who to spend time with, prioritize spending more time with optimists.

Pessimists see closed doors. Optimists see open doors—and probably kick down the closed doors along the way.

Remember: Pessimists sound smart, optimists get rich.

Well some people can't digest it. They either call it hoax or made by "ancient aliens". A term created to defamehindu civilization.

Kalpa vigrah is found to be more than 28,450 years old.

We have seen many excavation throughout the globe. In Russia we found Mata

kali and Bhagwan Vishnu deva's idols. Mexico: we found Mahadev & Shri Ganesh.
None created controversy like Kalpa Vigraha
This is made up of metal alloy more than 28k years back. Official datas shows that metallurgy started in neolithic period 3k BC. But our history oppose it.

Bhartiyas used to make zinc, which is hard to create even today, before neolithic period ✨

Why is it controversial?

Kalpa Vigraha was stolen and smuggled out of Nepal. This idol was found in a chest. The Box was amazingly 9×9×9 inches large. It had heavy metal around it.

The Box was tightly locked & was designed in such a way that CIA could not conduct a radiocarbon test on it.

A manuscript was in the Box & the language on it belonged to a time when existence of language is hard to think of today. It was concluded that the language was used as

a means to transfer the knowledge of vedas orally.

The manuscript mentioned the name of the idol – “Kalpa Maha-Ayusham Rasayana Vigraha” abbreviated in CIA files to “Kalpa Vigraha.”

But What Does it Means ?

Maha-Ayusham - Great Life/Immortal
Rasayan - Chemicals

REVERSALS FROM CONFLUENCE OF SUPPORTS🧵...

1⃣ Scanner to use

Use the below scanner & only focus on stocks in the list 👇
'CCI Daily crossing above

2⃣ Add these stocks to Trading watchlist to scan

You can do this in 5 mins, literally! Watch the below video how to do it👇

Scan each stock manually with your

3⃣ Stock MUST be near confluence of supports!

What's that? There are two rules

Rule 1:
• Price should be reversing from a major horizontal support zone Ex: #GOKEX

This should be visible clearly on weekly/daily charts

4⃣ Rule 2:

• Price should be reversing from major trendline support

If you also observe
• Candles with long lower wicks or
• Big green candles - refer chart

then winning probability increases😃

This reversal from HORIZONTAL & TRENDLINE Support is reversal from confluence!

How I understand the strength of a trend:

For many day traders, the issue is not with identifying the direction but being afraid of when the move will end or reverse.

It is a challenge to identify when a move can continue and convert to a big move n when it can reverse

(1/n)

Reading orderflow data at important levels like previous day low and high (intra low and high are not that reliable levels), one can understand if a move can continue or not.

In the above chart, previous day low broke and market fell before giving a pullback.

(2/n)

Orderflow indicated that large sellers continued to sell when PDL (previous day low) was breaking.

See below chart where sellers sold huge around PDL.

We pulled back to same level and they defended their positions.

(4/n)

OF helps know the strength of a move and the probability of it continuing or not and helps me decide whether to stay in a trade for bigger profits or book out.

Here's a super setup with a ~70% win rate & very high R:R for Options Traders.

Name of this setup is - FSC.

🧵

Principle - The First 5/15 min candle of the day is very important. It gives a good indication of what is going to happen with that Index/stock in intraday.
One of the many types of candles is 'Strong' candle.

A strong candle is the one that either has no wick or has a wick on the downside (for green candle) or on the upside (for red).
Now if this candle forms in the first 5 min of the day, it's called FSC - First Strong Candle.

Entry Criteria - Enter at 9:20 am on the Stock forming FSC in 5 Min TF. Go long if FSC is green, short if FSC is Red.

Instruments - Can go with Options, Futures or even cash. Remember this is an Intraday strategy.

SL - low of FSC.

Trailing of SL - using PA-based pivots. You can use VWAP too.

Here's how i scan the stocks :

- 3ib
- 3iib
- NR7+IB
- NR14+IB
- NR21+IB
- Double Doji

Stock Selection Criteria :

- IB/Smaller Doji range is around 1%
- Beta is above 0.75
- How has the stock performed in the past with this strategy

Entry :
- Long/Short on Previous Day High/Low break

Stop Loss :
- Opposite side of previous day candle

Target :

1%, 2%, 3%

Will post my stock selection here as and when i can as i have seen that in spite of sharing every single rule, people are still not getting the stocks selection correctly.

1. When Rohingyas Mass Murdered Hindus

Yes you heard it right. They are not the most persecuted minority of the world. They are capable of fighting guerilla wars against military states like Myanmar.

And they brutally eliminate non-Muslim minorities wherever they come to rule.

2. Their brutality was displayed in 2017 when they mass massacred around 100 Hindu women and children mainly. Their hapless victims were Bengali Hindus who found themselves at the mercy of this ‘persecuted minority’ of Myanmar.

3. This massacred of Hindus by Rohingyas is known as Kha Maung Seik massacre. It was carried on by the terrorist arm of Rohingyas called ARSA or Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army. Yes, Rohingyas even have their terrorist wing.

Still think they are victims?

Pic: ARSA Leader Ata

4. Hindus are just around 1% in this district of Maungdaw where they were massacred. Even 1% Hindus could not be tolerated by the Rohingyas of the district as Rohingya Muslims are the overwhelming majority of this district – 91%.

5. This is the only Muslim majority district of the Rakhine state and the Rohingyas are so brutal that they could pull off a mass massacred of the Hindu minority of their own district in the only place where they are majority.

Think about what they will do in Delhi.

TRIGGER WARNING( Hate Speech, Radical slogans)

1. Yesterday riots were taken place all over India after Friday prayers in the masjids.
Riots did not happen suddenly. It was pre-planned!

2. SDPI, a Radical outfit and political wing of PFI has organized protests all over India.
You will find this same banner in every rally of yesterday's protest against India and Hindus

3. In this video, SDPI officials challenge the Indian authorities and raise slogans like 'Sar Tan Se Juda'

The public is reacting too!

4. In this video radical SDPI leader is warning that this is not the India of 1992!

Warning Hindus to leave this country!

#Sweden 🇸🇪

An independent analysis into the demographics of sexual assault & rape in Sweden between 2012-2017 has yielded some shocking results.

Notably, men of non-European origin commit 84% of 'serious' rapes despite only making up around 10% of the population

1/10 🧵

The chart below shows that Africans are most likely commit rape, whereas Middle Eastern/North Africans are more likely to commit aggravated rape.

Alarmingly, an Algerian is 122x more likely to commit aggravated rape than a Swede and an Afghan is 69x more likely.

When aggregated, we see Angolans are 15x more likely to commit rape or aggravated rape than a Swede.

Of the 25 nationalities that rated highest, only one (Belarus) was from a European country.

For assault rape, which is categorised as violent rape by a stranger, Algerians were 541x more likely to commit assault rape than a Swede.

However, prosecutors do not even seek deportation for the majority of rape convictions against foreign nationals.

95.6% of assault rapes are committed by men of foreign origin.

Here is a breakdown of the type of assault rape broken down by nationality.

Red = Individual against woman
Orange = group against women
Blue = individual against man

How to beat Imposter Syndrome.

5 steps to have the career you want:

Have you ever felt like a fraud?

Like you haven’t earned your accomplishments?

You’re not alone.

Up to 82% of people suffer from Imposter Syndrome.

It’s the single greatest threat to your career (and reaching your potential).

Today I’ve going to break down WHY Imposter Syndrome happens

And a proven plan to overcome it.

Let’s get started.

So, why does Imposter Syndrome happen?

Credit goes to a quirky cognitive bias:

“Dunning-Kruger Effect”

Dunning-Kruger Effect

Novices experience overconfidence due to quick progression on the learning curve.

While experts’ confidence drops because they realize what they don’t yet know.

Paradoxically, the more you become an expert, the more you may feel like an imposter.

Navigation in Ancient India

#LongThread

Indian civilization has been without a break for the last few millennia. This means there have been external connections and indigenous maritime assets.

Among the remains, the maritime assets archaeology are much prized and cited, a dock being the most prized. It also precludes the requirement of knowledge of the seas i.e. a compass.

The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Navgatih’. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit ‘Nou’.

There were Sanskrit terms for many parts of a ship. The ship’s anchor was known as Nava-Bandhan-Kilaha which literally means ‘a nail to tie up a ship’. The sail was called Vata Vastra, which means ‘wind-cloth’.

Java: Why do we use getter and setter methods?

a thread...

In Java classes, we normally create the getter and setter methods to read and update class level fields respectively.

Let's find out why do we following this practice.

Consider a class "Account", having fields like accountName and accountBalance - to show the name and balance of the account.

As a common practice, both the variables are private and define the public getter and setter method to read and write their values.

Eg:

Using the above example, let's see different use-cases where having getter and setter methods can be game-changing.

1. Validation:

The public getter and setter method act as a single door to access the private fields.

Before updating the value we can run any validation in the setter method and accordingly allow field modification.

Eg:

1. How Our Eyes Lie to Us

Cognitive Psychologists in the past two decades have been experimenting on narrative fallacy. They say that our minds create stories or narratives which do not portray reality as it is, but as our minds perceive them.

2. Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Daniel Gilbert etc. have published ground breaking works where they discuss the narrative fallacy. They tell us how our mind fools us in our behavior and we may think we are in control of our behaviors but our mind has different designs for us.

3. Daniel Gilbert in ‘Stumbling Upon Happiness’ tells us how our eyes betray us and we can’t even be sure of what we see, let alone what we think. Michael Gazzaniga tells us that how our instincts are not in our control and it seems we act according to a pre-written script.

4. These are very serious subjects and only future will tell us what is going to happen in these disciplines. But the bottomline of all this research is that: our mind and our senses lie to us and we cannot be sure of what we think or what we even see.

5. That our senses create a narrative fallacy is something that has been alluded to in many of our spiritual texts. Modern West is just rediscovering it through tests and experiments. But there is an experiment in our daily lives that gives us a clue of what narrative fallacy is.

🌺Shree Jagannath Temple, Khallikot, Ganjam, Odisha🌺

This temple is Recognised as the 2nd largest Jagannath Temple after Puri Jagannath Temple. If historians are to be believed, construction of this Temple in Khallikote was started in 1730 by King

Jagannath Mardraja-I& completed by his grandson Jagannath Mardraja-II in year 1868.According to some ancient texts Bhagwan Jagannath along with brother Balbhadra & sister Subhadra spent some of their time in this temple during their exile when Mughals attacked Sri Mandira in Puri

This temple is grand & the outer walls are beautifully carved with the sculptures of Dasavatara, AstaDigapalas, Different other avataras of Vishu ( i.e. Janardhan, Madhav, Lakshmi Narayan etc), some beautiful Nagas, Nartakis etc.

Every single stone is carved beautifully in this temple which will mesmerize you for sure.But this ancient Shree Jagannath Temple in Khallikote of Ganjam district is in a dilapidated state due to alleged lack of maintenance by the government.

It is believed that if immediate steps are not taken towards the renovation of the temple, the centuries-old structure might even collapse.

On the occasion of our 76th Independence Day.
🧵

76. BankNifty's move depends on moves of mainly 5 banks - HDFCBank, ICICI Bank, SBI, Kotak & Axis bank: track OI buidup & PA of these daily.

75. Open charts of each of these banks daily & see which is near an important resistance or support, that can affect BankNifty's movement immensely the next day - track that bank closely the next day.

74. HDFCBank (26%) & ICICIbank (23%) are the biggest contributor in BankNifty : give more importance to these two.

73. SBI, Kotak & Axis bank each contribute around 11%, but if two of them align with each other & HDFCBank & ICICI are neutral, they'll decide the direction.

72. SBI being the major PSU bank, can move opposite to these giants & create a turbulence, keep it in mind.
