AN OPEN LETTER TO TRADINGVIEW FROM AN ADMIRER I’ve always been a big admirer of the team at @tradingview for what they’ve built and how they’ve transformed the charting experience for traders. I’ve also been quite vocal about the importance of investing in essential tools rather than hesitating over such costs. However, the recently introduced symbol limits per watchlist, even on paid plans, feel like a step backward. I understand the intent to increase ARPU and push upgrades, but reducing the Premium plan limit from 1000 to 500 symbols is quite restrictive, especially considering it’s already at the upper end of what retail traders in India can afford. This change feels unjustified and, ideally, the earlier limits should be restored. If that’s not feasible, then at least increasing the caps would be a fair middle ground, bringing Premium back to 1000 symbols, and raising Essential and Plus tiers to 250 and 500 respectively. Now, one might argue why anyone would need such a large number of symbols in a watchlist and how it actually helps. What most traders, and even the team at TradingView, may not fully understand about India is the concept of circuit filters enforced by our regulators. This is quite unique to Indian markets. Since international platforms don’t provide a way to exclude stocks based on these filters directly in scanners, we are forced to first eliminate such stocks using local tools. To avoid illiquid names, especially those stuck in 2% or 5% circuit filters, we have to create a refined “Total Universe” watchlist first. Only then can we effectively run scans on TradingView. If we skip this step and rely purely on inbuilt scanners, results often get cluttered with circuit-bound stocks, which are practically untradeable and hard to filter out afterward. Currently, National Stock Exchange of India has around 2300 listed stocks. Even after filtering out illiquid names and those under strict circuit limits, we are still left with roughly 900 to 1100 stocks depending on market conditions. This already exceeds even the earlier limits. I had earlier requested increasing these limits, but the recent change has gone in the opposite direction, making it almost impractical to use TradingView’s watchlist-based scanning effectively in Indian markets. I’ve used multiple platforms over the years, free and paid, desktop and web, and haven’t encountered such restrictive limitations elsewhere. This kind of constraint could actually give competing platforms an opportunity to challenge TradingView, at least in the Indian market. On behalf of retail traders and the fintwit community, I would strongly request the TradingView team to restore the earlier limits. If changes are unavoidable, then at least consider increasing the limits as suggested earlier. I’d also urge the fintwit community to support and amplify this, so the importance of this issue is clearly communicated.

Hello @barandbench Please start NAMING THIS SUPREME COURT JUDGE 99% of the times, it will be the same name...

@VivekWaghwani @gurjota Gareeb ke lie sarkaar hai.

@gurjota Kisi gareeb ko dedo

Selling my 10 year old LG 1.5 ton split AC. Quotes I got online (Amazon, Cashify, etc.) ₹3800 to ₹5,000 Checked with just 1 offline store in Delhi ₹6000 Then I got to know, people easily pay 7-8k also. Online markets don't always give you the best deals.

@prakdadlani For small scale, getting a quote feels like a struggle even if you are giving payment in advance. But if you have large scale, suppliers line laga kar khade rehte hain factory ke bahar with 90 to 120 days payment terms.

In China, when you need a part or material, vendors proudly say: “Boss, we have 100 tons ready, 10 variations in stock, can ship today.” It’s a badge of strength, a flex showing they’re reliable valuable, and cash rich. In India? Even when there is stock, many vendors say: ❌“No stock.” ❌“Needs to be custom made.” ❌“15–20 days lead time.” ❌“Nahin hoga sir…” Why? Because the buyer’s mindset here is the opposite. If a vendor admits he has stock, buyers smell weakness “Unke paas mal bharaa paraa hein, rate thodna hein.” The ball is suddenly in the buyer’s court. This mentality creates delays, annoying games, and unnecessary friction in the supply chain. Do you agree? Have you faced this? How do we actually change this culture?

@piyushchaudhry Because of fast information flow, this cycle will be much faster I think.

AI craze reminds me so much of Dot Com era. Dot Com Timeline 1995 : early phase 1996-97 : Acceleration 1998-99 : Mania 2000: peak & burst AI Timeline 2023-24 : early phase 2025-26 : Acceleration

@1shankarsharma You cannot fool all the people all the time.

I, for the life of me, can't understand this: We are so damn good at marketing ourselves to ourselves But We are shamefully unable to market ourselves to Foreign tourists, Foreign investors, foreign opinion, foreign govts, foreign anything Why Why Why??

Wife didn't demand anything She even got remarried This man took the case to Supreme Court Now SC asked him to pay 50 Lacs Alimony Jo aadmi zyada shaane bante hain unke saath yahi hota hai This is why we ask men not to resist divorce at all if wife is giving it happily

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

Can you set up a manufacturing unit for fmgc products without paying a single bribe?

@Zoomerjeet Soon India will become West Bengal. Then the same chumpoos will ask ki hum china se peeche kyun hain.

Anti-business mindset. The only real advantage of having a factory in India is that it has cheaper labour. You're actively pushing for those factory owners to speed up automation. Those protestors are going to be left with not even those ₹9k jobs this way.

This clip has something interesting to observe. The youngster doesn’t consider PF and ESI as part of his salary. He is getting 14,900 but all that he considers his salary is his take home after deductions. I am sure he is further dramatising figures by lowering the take home. With generations of propaganda against businesses, lower instincts like jealousy to play on and too many manipulative folks, it is easy to fan April 13 kind of trouble.

An alternative perspective on low salaries of workers in NCR: When consumers walks into the market, price is often the only deciding factor. Many are willing to accept a “kaccha bill” if it saves money. They don’t mind buying from unethical companies. They don't care if the product is imported products from China, Taiwan, or Bangladesh if it’s cheaper. This mindset flows through the entire value chain. When distributors approach shopkeepers, the response is similar. Quality, intellectual property, and ethics take a back seat. Cost and service are what matter most. In such an ecosystem, ethical companies that pay taxes, invest in R&D, build IP, and focus on engineering struggle to compete. They are up against players who bypass regulations, cut corners, influence decisions through informal means, and rely heavily on low-cost imports. On top of that, large OEMs often push these companies to operate on extremely thin margins. The challenge doesn’t end there. Productivity is further impacted by absenteeism and lack of professionalism in the blue-collar workforce. During elections, harvest seasons, festivals, and family functions, workforce availability can drop to nearly 50%, leaving companies with little control and mounting losses. The reality is far more complex than the narrative often portrayed in films featuring icons like Amitabh Bachchan or Dilip Kumar, where business owners are depicted as exploitative Seths and workers as helpless victims. In truth, many companies are simply trying to survive in a system where low-ethics, low-IP, trading-driven businesses have a structural advantage. In such conditions, limiting salaries is often not a choice, but a compulsion.

@chiragbarjatya Indian middle class ko apni income/savings chorke sabki chinta hai.

bhai jhaadu pohche ka 3k deta hu. nanny ko 3hr ka 6k deta hu aur cook ko one time ka 9k deta hu. aur bata bhai baaki kya haal chaal

There are two kinds of workers in untrained segment. Worker 1 ) Can understand that the T-shirt in my hand has a size label on the neck attached to it. It reads M. So I need to put M size barcode on the t shirt in packing. Worker 2 ) Does not comprehend what an M or L is. Cannot write. Cannot read. Won’t understand which barcode to attach to which garment. It looks the same. We have way too many worker 2 trying to find a job and not getting a better wage. People are fighting for worker 1.

@Ajain112 1000% correct. Too many degree holders but ABCD bhi nahi aati.
