Remember playing cricket after school?
One tennis ball.
A few bricks for wickets.
And one batsman who wanted to hit EVERY ball for a six.
We all knew that guy.
But there's a trading lesson hidden in those childhood matches.
Let's revisit it. 🧵👇
And that's where rules come in.
Instead of chasing every moving stock, build a process to evaluate:
▶️ Price: Is the trend strong?
▶️ Performance: Is it outperforming?
▶️ Participation: Is the move supported?
Because spotting momentum is only the beginning.
Knowing what to do next is the real skill.
You learned cricket by playing.
But learning to trade momentum needs more than watching charts.

What are Bull Traps and Bear Traps in P&F charts, and how can traders use them?
In this video @VijayThk and @rajran06 explain these patterns and demonstrate how to filter potential trading opportunities using trend direction.
Watch now - youtu.be/laKElhtf2sM
Learn how a Bear Trap forms when a Double Bottom Sell is immediately followed by a Double Top Buy in the next column, and how a Bull Trap forms when a Double Top Buy is followed by a Double Bottom Sell.
The discussion covers entry points, stop-loss placement, and how these four-column patterns work in P&F charts
Think about your typical trading day.
Crude oil is rising.
The dollar is strengthening.
Bond yields are moving.
Global markets are reacting.
And you're trying to connect every single dot before taking a trade.
But by the time you've processed everything, the market may have already moved.
So what's the alternative?
Imagine two traders watching the same stock.
Trader A sees a breakout and wonders:
Should I buy? What if it reverses? When should I exit?
Trader B has predefined rules:
Entry condition met?
Risk acceptable?
Exit plan ready?
Same market. Different decision-making process.
A process doesn't eliminate risk. It brings structure to decisions.
Momentum tells you where strength may be emerging.
Algo strategies help turn trading ideas into defined, repeatable rules.
But the real learning is understanding how to bring these together.
From identifying opportunities to planning entries, exits and risk.
That's the thinking behind our event MANTHAN.
And now, we are coming to Kolhapur!

US10Y. Dollar Index. India10Y. USDINR. Crude Oil.
Every day, a new number to track.
A new headline to decode.
A new reason to worry.
But here's a question.
Do Momentum & Algo traders really need to understand EVERYTHING happening in the market?
Or is there something more powerful?
Let's explore. 🧵👇
Your next trading insight might not come from another chart. It might come from another trader. 📈

You traded 20 days in a month.
Your friend traded just 6.
You were constantly watching charts, taking entries and managing positions.
But at the end of the month...
Who actually performed better?
Your trading calendar might have the answer. 🧵👇
And here's something important.
A profitable portfolio isn't necessarily an outperforming portfolio.
If your portfolio gained 8% while its relevant benchmark gained 12%, you made money.
But you still underperformed by 4 percentage points.
That's why evaluating portfolio performance means looking beyond P&L.
