Trading is one of the best careers one can choose. I was making decent money in tech, quit my job, and started trading full time. Now I make far more than I did in my 9-5.

@PriyanshuP1405 HFT systems don’t use STL for critical code like the order book. They implement their own versions of data structures. The fastest implementations of order books use vectors for price levels and an unordered flat map for order history.

Nice project for quant devs or simple benchmarking enthusiasts, the cpp codebase is not optimised I believe it can be further optimised by reducing systematic overheads upto 5 microsec

Got these two plants because you can’t touch grass every day.

@_zeroxinfinity_ You could try melatonin tabs for a few days. They helped me a bit with falling asleep.

@AnandaniNisha Best time to order these seasonal fruits is in the morning. You usually get the best litchis then.

Why is litchi out of stock everywhere?

@sumitkbehal @915_Groww @PRAFULKULKARN18 @SarangSood Not a great one! Watch at 2x.

I just had a fine discussion with Praful & Sarang over broader framework around swing trading & regime detection at @915_Groww youtu.be/FRemGyGLbNEsi=…

Visited Corner House. Tried Death By Chocolate and Royale Butterscotch, both were insanely good. Must try!

@TheArnabSaha 700-800

@RahulSharm17341 What’s the price of it?

Tell me a better sunscreen than this???

@XkrishnanR Mangalore is a great place to live peacefully.

Tired of Bangalore’s chaos? Consider making the switch to a Tier 2 gem like Kochi or Mangalore. You trade: • Insane traffic & sky-high rents • For peaceful mornings, backwaters, fresh air, and actual work-life balance. Yes, you won’t get 10-minute quick commerce deliveries. But honestly? That’s fine. You get the luxury of time. Most things you need — groceries, laundry, repairs, even good food — are just a call away. People still show up with a smile and take care of it properly. And the best part? Work remotely for a Bangalore salary while living in Kochi. Suddenly your money goes 2–3x further. You can afford a beautiful house, help your parents, travel on weekends, and still save more. Lower stress. Better food. Stronger community. Slower, richer life. Sometimes winning in life means choosing comfort over hustle theater. Who else is thinking of making the Tier 2 move? 👇

@nxrveil On my list. Any recs to try there?

So Indian retail investors were indirectly responsible for the INR depreciation by giving FPIs an exit window? This is called India’s growth story.

@the_avid_trader One of the best 🙌

Must try for peated single malt lovers 👌

People on x are the smartest of all social media platforms. There is a reason scamsters avoid it.

finding a job in blr is more easier than finding a flat here so done

“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.

@anonymsperson_ Today was good for me!

@RahulSharm17341 If yesterday was bad for you, how was today? Personally, today's slow movements were a pain and wasn't expecting the moves that eventually panned out

What are these moves man? SL got triggered at an unusual price.

@YuvrajShah02 This is great! What’s the ROI?

Over the last month, I have traded commodities way more than I have traded equities. There's a couple of good reasons for this: - Cleaner price action: Globally-priced contracts like Crude, Gold, Silver respond well to macro flows and supply-demand - Better tax + cost structure: No STT on commodity futures (just CTT at 0.01% sell-side on non-agri). Equity futures attract STT at 0.02% sell-side plus higher stamp duty. Over high-frequency trading, this compounds meaningfully. Defined ranges to trade against: Most commodities respect technical levels far better than mid/small-cap equities, where a single block deal or promoter action can break structure overnight. Position sizing flexibility: With globally traded commodities, overnight gap risk is bounded by global session continuity (MCX tracks COMEX/NYMEX in real-time). Equity F&O can gap 5-10% on results, news, or SEBI action with zero warning. Liquidity where it counts: Crude, Gold, Silver, Nat Gas have tight spreads and deep books. Compare that to most stock futures outside the top 50 where slippage eats your edge.
