How quitting trading changed my life for the better 🧵 For 7 years, I was a trader. It wasn’t just a career—it was an obsession. The charts, the news, the constant notifications. But one day, I decided to stop trading, and here’s how it positively changed my life:

To all those worried about market crashing further, just have a look at this simple chart. Where in the last 20+ years do you see it not being a great time to invest your money below/around the moving average! Time to deploy the money you can set aside for 5+ years!

@wittysiddharth Just comparing milestone benefits doesn't make sense since spend is going to be 7.5L in total anyways. Need to see total rewards at 7.5L and then take a call between the two!

@wittysiddharth Base rewards at 2% fetches 15k miles at 7.5L in atlas (not including milestone benefits also) 15k miles - 30k accor - 60k value. (Much more if considering the milestone benefits.) Atlas > Plat travel.

Despite the recent devaluation, Amex Platinum @ ₹7L still looks solid. • 40,000 MR points + ₹10,000 Taj voucher • Milestone includes insurance premiums, fuel spends, etc. For comparison: Axis Atlas @ ₹7.5L → 5,000 Edge Miles → 10,000 Accor points ≈ ₹20,000 value At ~₹0.50 per MR point, Amex Platinum still offers better overall value & flexibility. #ccgeek #ccgeeks #Amex #CreditCards #RewardPoints

@imYadav31 080 lounge hands down

Namma Bengaluru ✈️ If you’ve flown out of Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru recently which lounge is your favorite???

Appropriate for current market environment 😂 #stockmarketscrash

#BajajFin coming out of consolidation after a long time! Decent valuation comfort plus it is looking good on charts!

Best decision of 2024 for me was quitting trading, changed so much in my life for the better! Better sleep, better vacations, super low stress levels and so much more

TAX CUTS ARE HERE !! No Income Tax till 12L !! #IncomeTax #BudgetSession

@MohitAg81750401 looking more at valuation than price on screen. CDSL is currently at 48 PE Around 30-35PE i would like to start accumulating

@ManekAgicha At wat price according to u valuation willl become attractive?

A great business but an expensive stock #CDSL Have mentioned a couple of times around the highs that valuations were at ATH, need to be careful! Still remains a great business, would like to invest again when valuations become attractive

The instalments that we all invest in these months will be the ones that will be the most profitable in the coming months/years Remember this if you feel anxious about investing during these times! #stockmarketcrash

Still feel strongly about this, lets see how the #Budget2025 eventually pans out. At least not expecting a sharp correction

Looking at the charts, just getting a hunch that markets might fall in the near term rather than rise Price action seems weak, getting ready to invest at lower levels if we get them! #stockmarketscrash

Doing the ordinary thing when everyone around us is panicking is what will make you a great investor

Great news, right?😆

Looking at the sentiments that are there surrounding the budget, seems like the least expected move is upwards So it might be very likely that we get a surprise upwards rather than downwards! Worked during the elections as well, everyone expected a easy upmove

How difficult is it to understand for the finance ministry that we need inflow of capital and not outflow Raising capital gain taxes will discourage inflow of capital to India and abolishing it will increase inflow Isn’t it simple?
