, we need ministers like you to promote the culture of sports in India, without the fear of not being supported after the career is over.
It takes anywhere between 5 to 6 yrs to become a consistent profitable trader on an annualized basis.
As Malcolm Gladwell says it takes a minimum of 10,000 hrs to master a skill.
Trading is no different.

Trading is not a sprint; it’s boxing. The market will beat you up,
screw with your head, and do anything it can to defeat you.
But when the bell sounds at the end of the twelfth round,
you must be standing in the ring in order to win.

Three consecutive higher high, higher low & higher close buy on the fourth day above the high of the third day & reverse for short.
The strategy does reasonably well.

Before FB memories, there are real life memories. Was honoured with this award in March 1991 by Mithibai College in acknowledgement of my achievements at the national level in swimming. Those were the days.
After having mentored over 80 mentees in the last 2.5 yrs,have found that mentees who r novice traders come with zero preconceived notions & often go on to do well while experienced traders find it difficult to let go of what they r comfortable with.

Always know in advance how much will you lose if the trade goes against you & what % of your capital is at risk, rather than setting profit targets.
Remember the risk in a trade is in your control & not the outcome of the trade.

Honored to have some elite traders signing up for the trading mentorship program January 2022 batch, thereby adding to the previous list of seasoned traders, some of them are from the most premier institutes of the country nationally & internationally.

#KargilVijayDiwas
Once in a trade, the only thing my mentees focus on is the risk as it's in our control.
No profit targets, as nobody knows how high/low a stock can go, we just go with the flow & let d markets decide where to exit.
Hence the super returns consistently.

Just concluded enrollment for my mentorship program for Dec-19, few interesting observations:
*Firstly majority of traders r grossly under capitalised, they come to d market with a meager capital of 50k-1 lakh with d dream of converting it into millions with

In trading there are only TWO things in your control, first pulling the trigger i.e entering a trade & secondly knowing your risk in advance.
Unfortunately majority try to control the uncontrollable (Outcome) & forget to control the controllable (Risk)

Being a successful trader also takes courage: the courage to try, the courage to fail, the courage to succeed, and the courage
to keep on going when the going gets tough.

It is very important for traders to remember that the market price can never be wrong. It is what it is. The market is the dog & the trade indicators (moving averages, stochastics, MACD, etc.) are simply the tail. The dog wags the tail, not the other way around.

#TradingMentorshipProgram
Our trading system just acts as a traffic signal, when it gives us entry signal we enter, we do not know the outcome of the trade, but what we know is our UNCLE POINT/PAIN POINT, basically where to exit when it goes wrong.
No system or anybody knows how high/low it will go.

Since some self professed twitter evangelists have been doubting my swimming credentials, here they are. While I as a principle choose not to respond to trolls, here's a sincere wish for them to get real issues to outrage upon rather than slander. Now, over to my legal team.
There are times when the market will hit your stop and then resume its movement in your direction, after you’ve been stopped out. It can be frustrating, but these are necessary expenses if you are going to protect yourself from serious losses.

Professional traders assign a lot more importance to their exit strategies than they do to their entry strategies.They know that it’s the exit that has the biggest impact on whether your trade made or lost money.

In trading it's not difficult to make money, it's difficult to keep it.

Humans r not wired to be good at losing and a key to being a good trader is to be an excellent “loser”, because a master trader will encounter far more losing trades than winning ones.

The larger the position, the greater the danger that trading decisions will be driven by fear rather than by judgment and experience.

The best trades are the one's which take off right from the time you enter & never ever look back.
These are the trades that go on to
become mega winners.

The first rule of trading
"LIVE TO TRADE ANOTHER DAY"
It means, no matter what u do, no matter how appealing adding to a position or letting it trade further against u, everyone is supposed to know that you never ever risk everything.

I FEEL TRADERS ARE MADE, NOT BORN .
And anybody can become one, if they have the passion to learn & master the process.
I say this after having mentored over 75 traders in the last 2.5 years & another 30 waiting to be mentored.
#TradingMentorshipProgram
Winning traders think in the present and avoid thinking too much about the future.
Beginners want to predict the future in their trading.
When they win, they think it means they were right and they
feel like heroes. When they lose, they feel like scum.

The BIG money is on the surprise side and the BIG LOSERS are on the familiar side or popular side of a trade i.e the "expected side".

Successful traders work hard on developing systems that suit them. It doesn’t matter whether you are systematic, rules based or discretionary, what matters is finding something that is right for you.

The market doesn’t give a damn about you. But in return, and this is a golden truth, you can get rich and owe the market nothing.

So everybody wants to be a systematic trader, wherein he has defined the entry, exit & SL.
It starts off with swearing to be disciplined & following the system to the T.
Luckily if he starts with a winning streak then he swears by the system & is totally disciplined.

When in doubt, get out and get a good night’s sleep. I’ve done that lots of times and the next day everything was clear. . . . While you are in [the position], you can’t think. When you get out, then you can think clearly again.

#TradingMentorshipProgramme
Trend following is an exercise in observing & responding to the
ever-present moment of now.
Traders who predict the future dwell upon a nonexistent place & to the extent they also park their ability to act out there, they can miss opportunities to act in the now.
-Ed Seykota
The successful trader is one who can recognize when a trade is going against him & has d courage to act based on such recognition.
Being indecisive or relying on luck 2 bail out of a tight spot will most
certainly result in greater than necessary losses.
#TradingMentorshipProgram
I think to not overtrade is more important than a good stop system, but most traders don't have the discipline to trade small
enough that stops won't much matter. Everyone is in this game to get rich.

One of d best Diwali message from my mentee, such messages fill my heart with pride.
