Sucker Who Trade 101

 


Sucker Who Trade 101:

I quit my full-time job some time ago for higher studies. After working for 8.5 years in the grilling Indian banking industry I wanted a change of air to understand what was going on in the world. I started working full-time at the age 21. I was good at studying stuff I like to study but never got time to study. Sometimes it was student loans, sometimes it was credit card debts and after some time it was I like hanging around my office and colleagues which kept me on the job. 

Luckily starting at a very young age does help me in identifying what I want to do for money or what I am interested in. It was trading. Why trading? It's easy money you know if one has the right temperament and attitude. It's cool stuff but only if you have the right temperament. 

I learned trading slowly for years. Whatever I earn as a salary I lost in trading. Those were painful years till I learned how to manage all this plus the emotional trauma of losing money trading. I learned value of risk and return. Fun though.

I tapped into the pulse of the markets. I followed all on Twitter, telegram, and youtube and never bought a trading hotshot course. I made all the scrap Excel sheets of why the patterns are not working. I did and still do all the mistakes which a human trader does. I made money and I lost 50% of it. What was left behind after putting in all these hours of work and dedication was not money but Confidence in myself and in my system that "this can work and mint money". 

I am still unsure at times because never be sure. A trader is always one step away from fucking up. After some calculations, I quit my chill banking job and went on for studies in a different geography with trading as my money back up. I have my parent's blessings and support if everything fails. But if you are confident in your skills people around you are confident in you. 

My idea is to study for a year, chill and learn to trade and see if this system can actually work. Studying after a long break is not easy. It's fucking tough. Plus the academic and the practicality of the job mindset don't converge at times. Whoever wants to study after spending longtime at a job please reconsider. Job is easier than studies. 

The income which I earn from trading goes on to become a sinking fund for the new education loan I have taken to fund my studies. The experiment is ongoing currently and I am having fun.

Swing Trading mindset

It started with luck before it became a passion personal project. Before coming to NZ, I put 5 lakhs rupees in my mum’s demat account to trade Indian markets. It was never my idea to trade Indian markets full-time or even part-time. But I somehow lost 10% of my mum’s capital in February and March. The idea of losing Mum's money is disappointing. I just didn’t know how to cope with that. I have faced a lot of losses before, so I am kind of numb and unreactive when my portfolio is at a loss. I don’t do anything when my portfolio is tossed into a loss. I took 1% of the remaining capital and started derivatives trading from the capital. The reason I started with derivatives trading was because I knew this is how I will make money quickly. I end up losing more. And then I decided to quit everything and wait for a clear-cut market direction. In March markets were directionless and making money buying options was difficult or not possible for a retail trader. So, the best decision was to ...

SQL 101 : CH 1 Notes : Teach yourself SQL

These notes should be more than enough to revise and learn stuff. No need to go to book after it. Examples are also included for better revision and understanding of concepts. SQL session commands : 1)     CONNECT - Command is used to connect to a database. This command can either invoke a connection or change the connection to the database.

6th Jan, 2025 Nifty trade day

 An analysis of what went wrong. It's been a long time since I lost in trading, and felt an urge to sit down and document what went wrong. The loss was not that big, but what bugged me was that I was right first and wrong afterwards. When I go wrong in trading, I usually don't bother because it is part of the game. But yesterday, I lost when I should not. I initially took a put and sold it off as I thought I was losing money, I can live with that but not the blunders which were done afterwards. Nifty daily chart It's a downtrend, more importantly, Nifty is on time correction. Nifty 5 min chart It was a clear-cut down move, I failed to read the trend and let my emotions creep in due to a wrong trade which *ucked up everything(sorry for the language but can't find a better word to describe). Nifty 1 min chart It's pure noise. But it does tell short-term trends if u keep on staring in the window which at times is not helpful. The question is when charts in all timefram...
