My Two Ways of Creating Wealth- [1] Investing – I have invested ₹85 lakh in small-cap stocks (including ₹10 lakh through MTF). [2] Options Trading – I primarily focus on positional trades in options. I will share the complete returns for FY 2025–26 at the end. Stay with me.

Most of the time Trend on friday- is followed on Monday.

I’ll take system that give 30% CAGR for 10 years over 40% for 2 years. What survives longer is more trustworthy — that’s the Lindy Effect.

You become a consistently profitable trader when it becomes boring to you.

Life is hollow without effort.

If you are not making new equity highs, you are in drawdown. This is a position which you will spend the majority of your career in.

Success required confidence, discipline, and a systematic mindset.

Be the same in joy and sorrow, gain and loss, victory and defeat.

Waiting for setup is also part of game.

Traders, investors, and entrepreneurs know this intuitively. If you go broke, you can’t keep playing the game — no matter how smart your strategy was on paper.

I have backtested 10000 strategies to find the 2 which I am running. Backtesting still going on.

“Burn old logs. Drink old wine. Read old books. Keep old friends.”

Trading success = living with drawdowns, not avoiding them.

Successful traders are underwater (in drawdowns or recovering) 80% of the time. Only a small fraction of time is spent making new equity highs.

If you have a max losing streak of 10 trades, is it wise to risk 5% per trade? Of course not, that drawdown is way too big.

Trend following means losing small and winning big. You must be okay with being wrong often.

A loss or a setback is not the same as ruin. Losing money or time can be recovered. But ruin — total collapse — ends the game. That’s why it must always be avoided.

Trend following- “It really is simple. You hold your winners, have discipline and cut your losers. You take what the market gives and you’ll be successful in this business.”

You don’t need to be smarter than others. You only need to be more disciplined than others.” — Michael Covel

Keep following your process and build a habit of checking your net profit and loss at the end of every month — it really helps strengthen your trading psychology.

Very few people really want to think differently, take risks, and wait patiently.
