Chidambaram introduced STT & abolished LTCG on equities Pay tax on the trade, keep gains tax-free! But look at collections now: FY 2022-23: ₹25,085 Cr FY 2023-24: ₹32,000+ Cr FY 2024-25: ₹53,296 Cr FY 2025-26: ₹57,522 Cr Yet in 2018 LTCG came back (now 12.5%) + Budget 2026 hiked derivative STT rates! Double tax on traders, Govt Must Interfere here.

@DeItaone What a joke going on.. Utter shame at the system

OIL PRICES TURN NEGATIVE AFTER REPORT SAYS US AND IRAN REACHED DEAL

Since the start of the US Iran war, I genuinely haven’t seen dealer gamma this absurdly positive. My custom dashboard is currently printing +1,16,381 Cr NET POSITIVE GAMMA EXPOSURE on NIFTY. At the exact same time, India VIX has collapsed ~6-7%. That combination is not normal. This is the kind of positioning where every dip gets mechanically bought, volatility gets suffocated, and price starts behaving like it’s magnetized to dealer comfort zones. Market isn’t moving organically anymore. It’s being gamma pinned by an ocean of dealer hedging flow. Absolute insanity.

“Indian society respects a man losing his health in a corporate cubicle more than a man trying to survive honestly in the markets.” That sentence will offend a lot of people. But every serious trader in this country knows it’s true. Because the moment you say you’re a trader in India, people look at you differently. Like you’re irresponsible. Unstable. Jobless. One step away from gambling your life away. Nobody sees the reality behind that screen. Nobody sees the boy who skipped vacations for years because he blew up an account and had to rebuild from zero silently. Nobody sees the man staring at charts till midnight, replaying expiry candles again and again, trying to understand whether it was his mistake… or just market chaos. Nobody sees the trader sitting quietly during family functions because his mind is still stuck on the one revenge trade that destroyed three months of hard earned consistency. Trading in India is one of the few professions where you can work harder than everyone around you… and still end the month questioning yourself. There are no promotions here. No fixed salary. No manager telling you “good job.” No guarantee that tomorrow will pay you for today’s discipline. Just you. Your mind. And a market that owes you absolutely nothing. People think traders are addicted to money. No. Most traders are addicted to hope. Hope that one day the discipline will finally click. Hope that one day they can look at their parents and say, “It worked.” Hope that one day they can live life without asking permission from anybody. But what nobody talks about is the emotional cost of chasing that freedom. The isolation. The self doubt. The guilt after losses. The silent anxiety before every market open. The emotional numbness that slowly creeps into your personality after years of uncertainty. A real trader doesn’t just learn price action. He learns emotional survival. He learns how to stay calm after losing money. How to avoid revenge trading when frustration is boiling inside him. How to control greed when profits come easy. How to sit on his hands while the market moves without him. How to protect capital when his own emotions are begging him to take one more trade. And the worst part? Even after mastering all this… the battle still doesn’t end. Because a trader is not only fighting the market anymore.He is fighting an entire ecosystem. Weekly expiry chaos. Violent gap openings. Random policy announcements. Liquidity traps. Manipulative moves. Constant regulatory uncertainty. Rising turnover charges. Taxes at every possible layer. Sometimes it genuinely feels like a trader in this country is surviving despite the system… not because of it. And yet… every morning at 9:15… lakhs of traders still sit in front of their screens quietly. Not because they are reckless. Not because they are lazy. Not because they are gamblers. But because somewhere deep inside, they still believe discipline can defeat uncertainty. That belief comes at a cost. A very heavy cost. Missed memories. Sleepless nights. Broken confidence. Mental exhaustion. Loneliness so deep that anonymous people from Twitter Spaces start feeling more emotionally relatable than people in your own house. And still… traders continue. Because once you truly fall in love with markets, it stops being about money. It becomes a test of character. So maybe it’s time people stopped mocking traders as if they are doing something shameful. And maybe it’s time policymakers too understood the difference between reckless speculation and serious market participation. A genuine trader already carries enough risk every single day. He should not also feel punished by excessive charges, double taxation, and an ecosystem that keeps becoming harder for small participants to survive in. Behind every trading terminal in India… there is a human being fighting one of the toughest psychological battles imaginable.

@AshwinBadri2 Beautifully penned. Lovely. Could fully relate with almost each and every line👍

NIFTY - Time Cycles since 2020 Lows. To be seen Trough to Trough. Two different Cycles Troughs' converging. Must be taken for context purpose only.

The very muted bounce in Equities and barely a touch above the ground in Copper at a time when Crude Oil had a knock down from its resistance only goes on to imply Markets are now losing the confidence on the possibility of a resolution and are getting only slowly prepared to face the inevitable !

Yeh bhi koi market hai.. #nifty #sensex

Repeat this after me: This is not my first trade, nor my last. I will get better trades over my journey 100s of times. So let me not chase or regret or punish myself for missing this trade. Mantra

@KiranjitDas86 @KiranjitDas86 kindly dm me "hi".. Need to thank you for a thing that i leaned from you

Beta Trade majnu always remember your brokerage and stt are their profit. And everyone loves Profit.

A very genuine thought that I wanted to share to all budding traders starting off from my 6 year experience Don't get fooled by social media and set huge 100%+ expectations every year in trading or just looking at USIC Winners performance, they have worked for so many years and get a few such big years. It's a DEATH TRAP you are putting yourself in. Trading is brutally hard, draining and mentally upsetting at times. I have done really well over the past 6 years growing a small account to Mid 8 digit account & I owe a lot of my success to the bull markets alongside tight risk management with losers. Not a single year i remember having kept some benchmark to beat or some really big target to achieve and whenever i do something, i usually fail & get back to basics of slowing down the race. Never try to prove anyone, you will have a string of losses even in a bull market and thats a part of the game, you will miss most of the winners and that is also a part of the game. As a big brother the simple advice is - Learn to forgive yourself & not take a losing trade personally to heart, i still feel extremely disturbed on a string of losses and the only way is to slow down. Even oif the market rips of 100%+, genuinely doesnt matter. Wait for your pitch and play the game properly. Another point to address is to grow a small account, you need to take aggressively high position sizes with tight 1% stoploss, this will be the exact reason for death by thousand cuts In my journey, there were many ups and downs and all of them had more weight and pressure on me as i was public in X and the need to be right increases automatically, but try to never prove anyone and just follow the process brutally honestly. The game is hard, firstly try to just achieve whatever you can, even after 5-6 years you might reach a point where you feel like there is no progress and the market is moving, you just have to be patient.

@VijayKedia1 Sir, let's open a hedge fund together and make it so big that we employee at least a lakh people.. Are you in? If yes- dm

When millions of educated youngsters remain unemployed, perhaps the issue is not their attitude alone. Unemployment is a painful reality for millions of sincere young Indians. They need opportunities, skills, direction and encouragement , not labels that hurt their dignity. More worrying is that several reports suggest educated youth unemployment is far higher than among the uneducated, reflecting a deeper mismatch between education quality, industry needs, policy execution and job creation. Instead of blaming frustrated youngsters, perhaps all stakeholders -governments, industry, academia and society - must introspect more deeply on why so many capable young Indians still struggle to find meaningful opportunities. India’s youth should become the country’s greatest strength and demographic dividend - not its biggest frustration or disappointment. ✌️

@Braczyy wish i could "Like ❤️" this a million times

Read the Market Wizards chapter on Kristjan Kullamägi this weekend. The one section that really stood out was when he discussed his drawdown off of his 2021 peak. "I started 2020 with $3.5 million and ended the year at $36 million. It was a thousand percent year. Then I ran that $36 million to a high of $105 million, and the last portion of that move from $65 to $105 million occurred in just a month and a half. For a brief period, just a few days, I was over $100 million. You have to understand what that did to my psyche. It made me feel completely detached from reality. I thought, “I’m going to get to $200 million in six months.” I was completely sure of that. I started seeing trading as a video game, which I kept winning. Measured from my $105 million peak in November 2021 to my mid-2022 low, I lost approximately $60 million. About half of that loss represented the late 2021 retracement of the large open profits at the November peak to the stops on those positions. The initial retracement loss was so large because I was leveraged long at my peak. My long exposure was $150 million—a number I recall because I remember bragging about it to a friend" These boom and bust type tales are as old as time. Look at Jessie Livermore as the classic example. Net worth of $0 in 1906 to a peak of $1.6 billion (inflation adjusted to 2021 dollars) in 1929. Just 5 years later he blew up and owed $104 million dollars to his brokers... Or look at Paul Tudor Jones. Hit one of the most legendary trades in history, making roughly $200 million dollars during the 1987 crash. It cemented him as a legend. His mental coach Tony Robbins said that Jones consistently lost money for the next 4 years after that peak. Dan Zanger parlayed $10,000 into $42 million during the late 90's. Then in late 2000 he took a 70% drawdown when he was 200% long 3-4 fiber optic stocks as the dot-com bubble was popping. Charles Harris reached 8-figures status after he ran up his account over 4,000% from 2020-21, then experienced a -80% drawdown, mostly due to his big TSLA bet in 2021-2022. I have seen a few people speculating on Kristjans story from the outside. Saying "I would have stopped trading at $100 million" or "I would have just taken that money and started investing". To those people I ask if you have ever experienced a real euphoric run in your trading account, let alone turning 5k into 100mil? Extreme winning streaks like the ones above breed overwhelming euphoria and overconfidence. The mind shifts its focus from process to outcomes, with ego-driven decisions overriding risk parameters and rules. From my experience I have found it near impossible to be aware of this at the peak of the run. It is almost like you are blacked out and the greed/ego completely takes over your trading. Then the drawdown begins. The emotions shift from euphoria and greed to revenge, fear, and doubt. This is where things can really start to spiral out of control. It is only after the drawdown has run its course that you finally come back to your senses and your emotions drift back towards baseline levels. Then all you're left with is regret... Few people ever talk about what a big winning streak can do to you. It can literally change the way you think and operate. Often the ability to achieve super returns is also its biggest drawback—a true double-edged sword. To be able to conquer both sides is the holy grail... From the Hour Between Dog and Wolf by John Coates: "When traders enjoy an extended winning streak they experience a high that is powerfully narcotic. This feeling, as overwhelming as passionate desire or wall-banging anger, is very difficult to control. Any trader knows the feeling, and we all fear its consequences. Under its influence we tend to feel invincible, and put on such stupid trades, in such large size, that we end up losing more money on them than we made on the winning streak in the first place. It has to be understood that traders on a roll are traders under the influence of a drug that has the power to transform them into different people."

@DhanHQ How to see the order flow in live market?

Behind every candle, there is a constant fight between demand and supply. Every move happens because someone is being aggressive, either buyers lifting offers or sellers hitting bids.

Order Flow can completely change how you see the market 🧵
