@GoldenDustbin @AdityaTodmal futures only for positional system or intraday also?all instruments or only specific instruments planned to trade with futures? thanks

@rulebasd @AdityaTodmal No, will trade futures. Profit margin reduces but the strategy still retains a good amount of positive expectancy.

Would be carrying home decent big bearish positions over the weekend for the 5th consecutive weekend. 4 times it worked out very well. Almost all my profit this month has been booked on Mondays. 5th time it won't end well because I'm jinxing it by tweeting this.

@GoldenDustbin @AdityaTodmal What's your plan from 1st April since the stt increase for future position. Any plan to switch shenthetic futures or option buy

@AdityaTodmal Started positional futures trading in Oct 2025

@the_avid_trader Are you moving toward a new variation of trend following, a different money management framework, or focusing more on trading psychology? I’m also wondering — is there something beyond what was covered in Madan’s workshop that you’re trying to capture now

@the_avid_trader Just curious — after attending Madan’s trend-following workshop, you did some backtesting, built your own money management, and saw success at times. What made you decide to step back, unlearn, and start exploring new approaches altogether?

Hi Trend followers on my TL, I am looking to unlearn and relearn creating system for trend following. Please refer some good books. I am thinking to start with Following the trend by Andreas Clenow. Thanks 🙏🏻

@arun1Bhatt Currently are you trading only expiry days or all days?

@arun1Bhatt How about an algotest? Will it work with Zerodha?

SEBI new Algo trading rules coming into effect from 1-Apr-26. Zerodha not going with empaneled algo vendors as per latest update from Quantiply. IIFL/Finvasia trying to work with Algo vendors to satisfy the requirement before 1-Apr-26 deadline

@GoldenDustbin Thank you

@rulebasd Backtest. Tradingview.

The best outcome for me due regulatory risk posed since 2024-end has been venturing into Commodities trading Couldn't do extensive backtest due to lack of data. But trading it anyway as the strategy is on good first principles The laggard in backtest hit it outta the park today

@GoldenDustbin So earlier avg weekly returned 5 x 0.28% = 1.4% profit, and now 2 x 0.2% = 0.4%? Is my interpretation correct? Or something missing

@rulebasd Yes, per trade day % return

After removal of daily 0DTE & ELM margin increase in Dec'24 end, I was worried about how my 0DTE system would do going forward. Been trading same 0DTE s/m since Jul'23. Avg daily gross return: Jul'23-Dec'24: +0.28% Jan'25-now: +0.2% Margin req doubled but return hasn't halved

@GoldenDustbin So, are you saying that before 2025, when there were 5 days of 0DTE expiries, you were able to generate around 0.28%? And now, after 2025, with only 2 expiry days and higher margin requirements, will you still be able to generate about 0.2% gross return?

@rulebasd nDTE down 1% net. Yes I trade. No it does not.

@GoldenDustbin Thanks for the detailed insights!

@rulebasd Strategy rules different. Position sizing methodology same. Risk per trade/day different. Directional. BNF monthly option. Yes stopped. There was long time of no return that made me feel this doesn't work. Need to backtest and check how it did after I stopped.

Jan 2026 FnO realized net return: -0.9% Zerodha account NAV: +3.2% TTM NAV growth: +41% TTM FnO gain: +14% Gross FnO return: - 0DTE option: 0% - nDTE option: -4.5% - STBT: -0.1% - Index FUT: +0.6% - Stock FUT: -0.2% - Commodity FUT: +4% SGB gains appreciated account NAV.

@GoldenDustbin Are your position sizing and strategy rules the same for both O DTE and nDTE? STBT directional or non directional?any one instrument for STBT? did you stop directional BTST if yes any specific reason?

Feb outlook: Doubts linger whether the system is good enough when you hit 4.5% loss in nDTE intraday option. Want to see how the s/m performs in less harsh VIX regime like Dec'25 hopefully in Feb, Mar Would trade budget day with same s/m rules (entry, exit, sizing, allocation)

@GoldenDustbin Got it.Thanks

@rulebasd These topics are high level and warrant a detailed thread, some of which are already available in my old tweets/threads. I'd anyway answer specific queries just like earlier. I treat all my tweets as an AMA forum.

Do you like to see me post monthly update of my equity curve snapshot (FnO trading and Zerodha account level) along with brief commentary?

@GoldenDustbin I thought you were leveraging 17x with hedges pre ELM regime and interested to know how your money management is now.Thanks for the clarification

@rulebasd Never traded 17x leverage. It was always 5x-6x (provided inherently by exchange) STBT uses capital which was idle earlier Reduced 0DTE risk per day to free up 20-30% capital for futures positional trades Short term cash trade holdings are pledged and collateral used for FnO

Trading view for the day

@GoldenDustbin —especially after the new expiry-day ELM regime?

@GoldenDustbin You trade a mix of 0DTE and non-0DTE TBS, STBT, index futures, stock futures, commodity futures, and short-term breakout stocks. Earlier, you were trading 0DTE with ~17× leverage. How are you allocating capital across these strategies now, and how has your leverage usage changed?
