My framework on growing trading account Step 1. Goal setting - Most important. Set realistic expectations around risk per trade, max DD, periodic returns etc. Also decide at what time frame do you want to see yourself profitable - Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. 1/n

Does this summary look ok?

@Kallichara Switch to synthetic futures conditional on futures price. Use ATO if using Zerodha.

#STT My Futures trade today, what the hell is this STT and massive slippage too, made quite a bit of loss. This is start of worst period for f&o traders

@BalakrishnanR @nsitharamanoffc @FinMinIndia The Income Tax Act does not define Income. So yes, anything that is not excluded as an income will be considered income and taxed according to slab rates.

Four free IPL tickets to each MLA. Value of around 1.40 lakh. Will this be added to their taxable income? @nsitharamanoffc @FinMinIndia

Anyone who traded crude expiry and traded these strikes 8600 - 8800 PE and left for settlement? Please let me know the settlement price done by broker for these strikes.

MCX CrudeOil Futures expiring tomorrow have a settlement price of 8871 as per the Bhav Copy on the MCX website (if I am reading this right).

Today is March 9th. Do you remember March 9th, 2009. That day the equity markets bottomed out after the Global Financial Crisis. Happy Anniversary.

@zerodha Charts not loading since yesterday.

@raahi_bhushan But Nifty BEES is usually sold at a premium to NAV. That can lower the overall returns of at the time of exit it is sold at discount to NAV.

@raahi_bhushan All ETFs/MFs have TER which reduces returns compared to the Nifty TRI. Only 2-3 schemes have TER under 5 bps. Nifty BEES is one of them.

I was working on tax efficiencies in building a portfolio. ETFs which reinvest dividends (NIFTYBEES etc) tend to have a huge impact on returns due to delayed taxes and converting dividend slab income to capital gains on dividend income. Here is what Gemini has to say about it. gemini.google.com/share/a40f41e2… Can anyone confirm this!

@AlphaWizarDD FIFO rule applies across all demat accounts.

Most investors waste the ₹1.25L LTCG tax-free limit every year. Why? ➡️ FIFO rule ➡️ Single Demat account ➡️ Oldest shares get sold first Simple fix: Use 2 Demat accounts How it works: 1️⃣ Identify shares with ~₹1.25L long-term gains 2️⃣ Sell from Demat 1 3️⃣ Buy same shares in Demat 2 4️⃣ New (higher) cost price locked 5️⃣ Next year, reverse the accounts Result: ✅ ₹1.25L gains tax-free every year ✅ Same stock, same holding ✅ Fully legal under SEBI & IT rules Smart investing is not about returns only, it’s also about tax efficiency. #Investing #TaxPlanning #LTCG #EquityInvesting #PersonalFinance

@WeekendInvestng Agree completely. Lots of investors do not know how to place orders (limit v/s market) especially when bid/ask spread is very high or market depth is too low.

This is why some circuit protections bands are needed in ETFs... Gold bees traded at 104.72 vs 138 closing

@yatinmota Has STT hike already been implemented?

BSE down in trade NSE Says : Saw decline in F&O volumes due to STT hike

@Ankit_Quant Hardly any benefit in margin while creating calendar spreads using futures.

Does MCX India provide calendar spread margin benefit in futures? Anyone familiar with the practical quantified numbers on the same?

@CypherKapil @harsh_vardhhan Money saved by a house wife from money given by husband for household spends.

@_Curious_Trader @harsh_vardhhan What is pin money

Let’s assume: husband income → 25 LPA Wife income → zero Husband → sends money to wife Wife → puts it in FD and makes gain gain taxed at 30% despite wife having no income Why? As per clubbed income law The income is combined Tax friendliness: live-in > marriage
