Few Years ago, I was watching #Face2Face as a learner. Taking notes. Getting inspired. Today, I got to sit on that stage. I gave my 100%. Hope it adds value to even one trader starting out. The benchmark @vivbajaj has set is high — I tried my best to honor it. 🙏

📈 Swing trading since 3 Oct (41 days) 💰 Started with ₹10L base capital 🔔 Will keep you posted now and then 🎯 18 entries till date 🛑 5 stopped out ⚠️ 2 closed manually (algo error) 🟢 11 open: ₹6.94L → ₹7.93L (+14.2% on cost) 📌 No profit booked yet. None of the 11 open has hit its stop. 🚀 ₹10L → ₹10.45L (+4.5%) ✂️ Cut losers fast, 🏃 let winners run.
I've always done my R&D in F&O 📊. Options, intraday systems, backtest after backtest. This week I had 3 days off, so I tried something completely new: equity investing, mostly momentum in IPO stocks 🚀 I had never done equity research before. Three days later, I have a backtested IPO trading system, built with Claude AI 🤖 📈 ~18% CAGR 🛡️ ~12% max drawdown 🗓️ 2016–2026, after costs It's still an early version. The next round of R&D isn't about squeezing out more return. It's about time under water ⏳ Right now the longest stretch without a new equity high is ~9 months. I want to bring it down to 3–4. A strategy is only as good as your ability to keep running it through the dry spells. AI has changed who gets to do quant research 💡 What used to take a team and months of work can now start with curiosity and a long weekend. The world needs new ideas now 🌍 The tools are finally here for anyone willing to try. #QuantResearch #AlgoTrading #IPO #MomentumInvesting #Backtesting #ClaudeAI #AI #StockMarketIndia #SystematicTrading #FinTech #Investing #NSE

Traders 👋 Need your input! Shortlisted the Lenovo L27h-4A (27" 2K IPS, 100Hz, USB-C 75W) as an extra screen for my MacBook Air M2. Using a monitor you think is better for trading + coding, ~₹20–25k? Drop the model 👇 #TradingSetup #Trading

Hey @AskZerodha @zerodha , when can we place NSE Commodity (NCO) orders through Kite Connect API? Right now the API rejects them with “NCO orders are not allowed via API”, so my CRUDEOIL & NATURALGAS expiry trades are still manual while MCX is automated. Ticket raised: #531700 🙏

Compounding needs two things: returns and survival. Making money is important, but protecting capital is what keeps you in the game long enough to compound. Chase returns, but never at the cost of survival. 📈 #Compounding #RiskManagement #CapitalPreservation #TradingMindset #WealthCreation #Discipline #LongTermWealth #optionstories

Some days the graph says it all. Red from the start of day. A sharp fall to −₹34k in the first 30 mins, then hours of slow recovery that never reached zero. Closed −₹24,289. Tough day, rules followed. Monday is a fresh page. #NIFTY #OptionSelling

Had an overnight Nifty 23,800 straddle. Today's gap-up gave the position a significant dent. But interestingly, there's no attachment to the position or its P&L. No excitement, no fear, no greed. Just observing and managing the trade. Almost like a monk in the trading world. 🧘 A big part of the credit goes to @bntheta. The real edge is not just in finding profitable trades, but in building a mindset where market movements don't control your emotions. #TradingPsychology #AlgoTrading #RiskManagement #OptionsTrading
